Hey that’s me! People keep asking me why I didn’t climb before the last day and the answer is pretty simple: I have Tennis Elbow. It’s a condition where the tendon in the elbow is ripping off. So playing was painful, that’s why. Nice edit btw! You really covered everything it was so nice to watch the whole story and not just the end 🤞

I mean i got demoted from silver 2 to 3 yesterday so were kinda on the same level

It’s okay Riot will punish the trolls by releasing new Lux skins 👍🏻

He might have not reached challenger but he did inspire me to open Wildrift and go on 10 game losing streak .

3:25 so the jungler picked Ziggs on his team but later picked Lee Sin on the enemy team 4:59. Poor man :(

Riot needs to implement a system that, if I game starts BEFORE the cut off for the season, it is counted in that season.

I was the Orianna it was so sad losing challenger by a couple minutes especially since I was challenger for the entire season and 1 month 1k lp. Great video 👍

Me: "Oh wow this victorious skin is gorgeous. I want it." Also me: "Oh I will need to play a game to get that one.. no, thank you"

..............that was a heroic tragedy great story. did not expect such content yet you have my thanks. you made this super interesting. keep up the good work. wish you well

no one mentions that the "trolling" twisted fate went mvp in the end.

I felt so sorry for that guy, the most moving story I have heard in a while.

This was better that the soap operas we have here in Mexico, you know its bad when a grown man cries

I feel for this guy. Really hope it didn't affect him too negatively, sure not getting a rank while putting in so much effort sucks but you tried. He got robbed of it, no honour in high elo. Learned that the hard way myself, too many players get more enjoyment out of fucking with people than playing the game. Unjust shit like this hurts on a deep level for me personally, had to avoid ranked for a long time now because of it. Winning is fun, having a good game and still losing is fun, but when it is completely out of your control and the gameplay makes no difference... you are just at the mercy of some horrible people. In the end they are the winners and don't give a shit. Sad state of competitive gaming when it is a passion for many. yeah not good for your mental health.

Honestly this is one of the main reasons, why there is a minority who refuses to play ranked. Am just down right disgusted by the amount of shady shit in the background. Wintrading, boosting, stalling... Worst part is, that it will never stop, since this rat behavior is in our human nature. You either embrace it or you let it go and try to look deeper in to something else than yourself.

Just take a moment to think that in another universe he managed to get to challenger with 2 minutes to spare

cant imagine the frustration mans felt

I love how this video is structured like a true crime video

my mouth literally dropped when you showed the other players stalled, damn 😔

I ain't really a league enjoyer but whenever I talk to my league friends about rank systems, I do always gets confused which rank is higher and to be honest though, tyler is right. I always thought grand master sounds way more awesome than challenger.

Wheeew! Nicolai is back, again 🥴

When the world needed him the most, he came back.

I would end up in a mental hospital if my team trolls me in the Iron to Bronze promotion.

i understand how he must feel but to be honest he had like a whole season to ramp up lp and to play better overall. It's not like he could blame his missing success on this timespan of 3-ish hours. He seems to be a good player nonetheless

No offense to the high elo players, but high elo seems to be pathetic because of how much trolling and win trading that happens. I'd rather be low elo than high elo. Though I'm unranked since season 9.

same thing happened to me when i was plat 1 with 90LP. people would notice i was super close to reach diamond and troll the fuck out of my games

damn this happened to me but i went from bronze 1 to bronze 3

Johnny felt like he's running for his life, man. This story is beautiful.

in my opinion he reached challenger Good job bro

imo Challenger sounds like one of the FIRST titles you should get, Grand master is the highest rank you can have in Chess forexample, sounds 10Times cooler

Damn, that sucks hard... That's like losing to the champion in Pokemon by 1 health, or doing a raid boss but losing because time ran out and they had less than 1000 health left.

Man it hurts when this happens

somehow my tears drop.

I just climbed from Iron 1 into Bronze 4 and let me tell you, durring them 5 promotion matches, my nerves were failing me like his.

I remember seeing this live from Tylers POV and hoping so much Johnny got it :( Next season bro!

what a roller coaster ride of emotions

I can feel the pressure of this video I remembered myself playing on season 4 (first time playing league rank) I was on Silver 1 and one more win to go in Gold but the reality was really sad I already win the game but it was too late for 5 minutes then rank frames was given and I remember the victorious skin it was Sivir. 😞 Sorry for my bad grammar. 🤞

3:14 damn it really be all down hill from there 😭😭😭 I know that feel Edit: 3:38 LOL welp that be the best feel

jamican banana (ivern main) was also in this game and he was also one win away from challenger- it was depressing to watch.

Bro one year later, I see this video in Bauss's suggestions live and oopen to find that I was there when this happened lol

6:39 not the twisted fate being rude in the chat, guy called it from the beginning 😂

tyler know how to make people stay positive

So a typical last minute no clutch, he knew the risk he were taking.

love the 10 minutes with no ads

Maybe it’s different for Challenger, but I’m pretty sure that as long as you’re in game before the cutoff time the game will count.

9:34 he's not wrong. challenger sounds like someone starting out for the first time, like a new opponent. Grandmaster sounds like the top

This video made me anxious 😬😬

The challenger solo queue scene seems more rigged than boxing matches at Vegas.

Thank you! Challenger has ALWAYS sounded like the second to last rank instead of the final rank.

I'm in the Bronze for 5 years and I'm happy

There would be more happy players if Tyler1 said Gold 😀 Platinum 😕

the way he screamed "noooo ! :(" at 7:29 made me so sad for some reason, poor guy

Great video man so interesting Made my morning 🌄

i rly dont know why loadingscreens can take longer than 60sec que time select and loadingscreens often longer than the actual game

To be absolutely honest, Tyler's mentality shows just how rotten the game and the world we live in trully are. If i was on the enemy team and realized my loss, i would have let them win, thinking that they would KICK someone from challenger to earn that spot. Would have been more badass AND more sick than just prolonging the game for the guys beating me. I know its not fair, but the world needs more people that can lose with grace and shake the opponents hand at the end of a match. Its not about growing up, its about being kinder. Also these people shouldn't play League. Orianna made a comment about how people were denying her for 5 HOURS and Johny has a tennis Elbow. If the game is causing so much pain and distress, find another one. There are 100000 games out there, you now have both the pain and the frustration. Hearing him cry made me feel desperate.

that was sad. i hope johnny makes it to challenger next season

good work king, love you

Riot 1stly should punish those that hostaged intentionally and 2nd give those players the win so they achieve their goal.

I was also pushing for gold for the skin. I made it mid season, but dropped later in the season I have been stuck in s2 since I dropped abut then managed to make back to s1 and then to promos a week before pre seaso, lost the promos and went into a lose Streak declining back to silver 2 0 lp. Now season ended and I'm s2. Feelsbad

literally teared up for this man

dayum son what a badluck brian moment i feel that bro

Grandmaster really sounds better than challenger

Goes both ways, if he won early/didnt dodge 3x he mighta lost/get overtaken by others. I mean that's just a risk of minute climbing. It happened to me in different games as well because I have medical issues resulting in less gamed played=rush at end. But that also means you will have to deal with what comes with it.

when you tryna finish your project on a last minute

Why would I ever dream about going through that?

Last year I was so hyped and positive on climbing Challenger rank on Wild rift despite it's shenanigans on ranked game like wintrading. I was able to reach diamond which is a very enjoyable achievement for me then Riot removed the Rank matchmaking and started having unranked and bronze silver teammates. That totally devastated me and made me quit the game. That is the most stupid and disrespectful patch I've ever seen. Now, the game is dying. I may not be the only one who felt that way. We did not play so hard just to be matched by lowranking players. I mean no disrespect to them but there is a proper and fair place from them on ranked

He is a challenger in our eyes.

Meanwhile in the Philippines it takes 6 mins or longer to load a screen.

wow one of the best vid i have seen

He had the whole season to get there. I do remember feeling that late season pressure to get into diamond though. Got in with about a week to go. Never got through the diamond 4 promotions though.

I feel bad for johny. He's pretty funny in this edit video. CAN IT START OR WHAT!!!

Realistically the only thing that I don’t understand is that when you are trying to play 2-3 of the most important games of the season in super super crunch/clutch time that you would expect anything to go any amount of smoothly

Same, on a different game, won 8 matches in a row only to lose the last match and lost the chance to climb the highest rank.

the bad and sad part is. he played a lot of games. and if ur a league player you know how painful it is to play with trolles non stop.

pretty sure he's going to get permabanned now for being "toxic" so now it doesnt matter that he didnt get challenger x)

Banger video Nicolai!

I’m pretty late to this, but this guy actually helped me learn how to play Qiyana

This is so funny, amazing video. Didn't know a human's life could be so non-existent.

i mean this isn't a sad story, because remember if he got challanger that would mean someone else would go down to grandmaster instead of challanger

new nicolai video poggers :OOOO

It's funny how the Twisted Fate ADC was the MVP of that game lmao

That guy has really bad dream.

I honestly feel sad for him, it's a shame the game was stalled, hope he make it this season!

The i know you havent at the end is what made me sub XD

"This CANT be reeeeeal Bro" is legendary soundclip bro

3:45 Instead of doing stupid calculations he could have queue up, play the game and be challenger in time. Two minutes lost could have been avoided.

Imagine crying over a video game rank

I keep bouncing between bronze 2 and 3 so don’t feel too bad, we all have our problems

9:32 GRAND MASTER!! GRAND MASTER!! thrn says challenger in disappointment 😂

Everybody knows that Tyler1 is the thumbnail

I lost all respect when it was shown that his main was Qyiana.

Better than a movie!

3:58 NOT THE CALCULATIONS LMAO

tbh it is kinda on him. trying to get in on literaly the last days last hours.also the crying and breakdown is just, man touch some grass, get your mental health into order.

he needs to chill out its just a game :PPPP loldoslododldldoololloklol

i remember when you could decay in any rank, crazy times lol gotta grind to make sure i stay plat this year!!

honestly t1 made some sense imaging it being challenger ( challenging masters to become one) masters then at the apex grandmasters

Tyler 1 on copium xD

this man's journey sum up League of Legends perfectly, lol

this actually happen to me but on low elo, I just played to get the skin rewards after end season. i played late that 12 midnight there will be no more rank queues, i needed 3 wins and got 2 winstreak before losing 1 game. on my next game which started at 11:25 pm luckily we finish exactly 11:59 and i got my bro acc the skin reward.

I grinded for challenger in halo 5.. will never ever do such a thing in any game ever again
