The 2018 Tyler1 Championship Series: A Tournament Worth Watching
The 2018 League of Legends World Championship may have just concluded, but there’s another major tournament on the horizon. The highly anticipated 2018 Tyler1 Championship Series (TCS) is set to take place from November 24 to December 1, and it’s shaping up to be an event you won’t want to miss.
In its second year, the TCS is offering an impressive $10,000 prize pool, drawing in some of the biggest names in the streaming community. Fans can expect appearances from streamers like Tim “Trick2g” Foley, Richard “Valkrin” Royer, and Hashinshin, among others.
Building on Last Year’s Success
Last year’s TCS was a major hit, attracting over 40,000 viewers for the finals, according to ESPN. Hosted by the popular streamer Tyler “Tyler1” Steinkamp, the tournament offered a unique experience for viewers. In between games, Tyler1 entertained the audience with hilarious skits, using his green screen and prerecorded commercials to promote his merchandise.
A Journey to Redemption
What makes the TCS even more intriguing is the story behind its host. After being permanently banned from playing League of Legends due to his toxic behavior, Tyler1 went on a quest to change his ways and get unbanned. Along the way, he became one of the most popular streamers on Twitch, captivating audiences with his diverse gaming content and engaging IRL streams.
Since the 2017 TCS, Tyler1 has successfully been unbanned from League of Legends and has even made appearances on the NA LCS broadcast. He played in a showmatch alongside other prominent League personalities and served on the analyst desk during the 2018 NA LCS Summer Split finals.
