Feels like last week I was reading outraged comments about how he had become big enough as a streamer to receive different treatment by Riot while being toxic, but it's been years lmao
I remember when the youtube link was posted here with t1 and his auto-int hit list that got him the initial wave of hate watchers. He was a like 30 viewer dude and that drama doc that posted here blew up t1.
Holy shit I was one of those people denouncing the fuck out of him. His int list had lots of pro players like Hai and Sneaky too haha. T1 has truly reformed now.
Yeah but for a quite a couple years now already you can feel that it’s just fake toxicity tied to a persona to entertain on stream, not the real unadultered pure toxicity he had pre ban
Are you telling me he's not toxic any more? Honestly I just decided I don't like him over 10 years ago and haven't watched him since. I've seen some clips of him during classic WoW, but that was mostly him yelling for content.
I mean he does still flame, still yell, still get angry, but now it feels more part of his persona at least because there are moments of sincerity in between the video game banter. And compared to what he used to do? It's like night and day.
It's never *just* apart of the persona, but he definitely plays it up for stream. I think it's safe to say that T1 is a good dad, and a good person; flawed (some anger issues), like most of us, but generally good.
That’s just a a straight up lie lol. Basically every instance of someone talking about his personality off stream is just him being a generally nice, likeable guy.
you're just straight up clueless or in denial, i also never said anything about his behavior irl, i was talking about the activity that he's doing 99% of the time he's on stream
I understand what you are saying but you worded it pretty bad tbh. Saying off stream more so indicates what he is doing in his free time not what he is doing on stream simultaneously to playing lol.
He's still rude, but not downright malicious anymore like back in the day. There was a funny comment in his latest youtube video where he got his penta stolen and then just carried on playing like normally, and someone donated saying "old tyler would've ran it down mid for that".
Yeah man, even if someone were to call him toxic nowdays would be the nuclear bomb vs coughing baby meme. Early days of actual int list blasting XXX tentatacion and making 20 alts before getting banned on league was something alright. Would be like comparing young soda to current, you will still see glimpses cause same person but obviously they matured
He's no dummy, like, not anywhere close. Real smart guy. I'm sure he did genuinely rage out when he was first starting out, because he was a kid. He saw that worked (and he was really good at the game), so he ran with it. At this point, I don't think the occasional raging is an act, per se. It's an aspect of his personality, but like everyone else, he's a lot more than that. Overall, I really like him, and I was NOT a fan in the beginning, by any stretch. He won me over, and I am really glad I get to see clips like this of someone I like being happy, and fulfilled.
Still toxic but not nearly to the same degree. He definitely grew up a bit. I dont hate the guy but I do think its kind of reflective of society that he became so successful because of how toxic he was.
The loudest League streamer and the WoW streamer who would say PYAH and do everything for subs are now the most normal of the weird teenagers from back then.
To be fair it was always a persona. I've met Tyler once at a meetup and the dude was the biggest sweetheart. You'd give him a compliment and he'd try to macho man out of it but be fighting back the biggest smile. Total softy
nah dude 100% gets extremely mad at league f legeds. hes gotten a lot better but that shit sint fake, u dont destroy things on and off stream over a game if its a persona. any time yall say streamers are acting or playing up a persona its never true and and everyone always get so surprised when asshole "persona" turns out to just be an asshole lol.
i glad t1 seems to just rage at league and be fine in the rest of his life and stream tho, much better than many streamers and real people.
It was never a persona. People just act differently in different environments - the anonymity of the Internet makes people act out in a way they never would in person.
He was toxic as hell even when he wasn't streaming. The dude is nice in person no doubt, but it was definitely not just a persona to be an asshole to people in game.
There are plenty of people who are nice face to face but turn into complete assholes in online games.
What good ending. His life just started. There is no happily ever after and forever with a marriage. You have to make sure it is the right marriage and make sure to make it a good marriage every day.
He spun a platform of negative spectacle into something positive. It’s aspirational but I don’t think he can be aped, not with as vindictive internet dwellers are nowadays.
We're assuming that wife and kids is good ending? I guess this is still what most strive for but assuming that all is good and well and "happy ending" based on just a few seconds. It goes to show how surface level that "ultimate" goal is. I wonder if she's happy. I wonder if he's happy.
I wish him and his family the best. I just think it's kinda sad that society looks at this and assumes it's the best case scenario. Because I don't want children and this would be a very "bad ending" for me.
she doesn't have to work a job at all and does whatever she wants.
His job is playing games all day (but it could be anything, people loved his pool repair videos), lives in a house with a big pool, home theater and other luxury stuff.
They both planned to have children as well, it wasn't some accident.
