How His Career Started?

Tyler1 started gaining ranks and fame in the popular game called League of Legends when he secured the 14th rank on the North American League of Legends ladder. However, the growth of his fanbase was quite modest and limited until 2016. 

In 2016, there was an upswing in his followers on Twitch after he declared that he had reformed. However, that ‘reform’ he mentioned did not last for a very long period. Several high profile players were furious with him for his unacceptable behavior. Many even took to criticizing the famous game maker Riot Games for not taking any action against him. It was believed that his conduct would instigate other players to resort to the same methods. 

As of 2021, Tyler1 has an estimated net worth of $4.5 million. Tyler1 also had over 4 million followers on Twitch and more than 2.6 million subscribers on YouTube.

In mid-2016, it was declared by Riot Games that because of a history of account bans for verbal abuse and harassment, he was forbidden from having a League of Legends Account. This led to a ban on all the accounts he used to play and live publicly, even if he had not broken any rules. 

After this, Tyler1 began to grow his fan following by streaming new types of content. He continued to stream other video games, such as Player Unknown’s Battleground. 

In 2017, one of the employees of Riot Games made humiliating comments about him on the official discord League of Legends server. The employee commented that he would die from a coke overdose or testicular cancer from all the steroids.

Because of this, the gaming company apologized to him and the rest of the gaming community. Later that year, Riot lifted the ban on his accounts on the condition that his accounts would not be used for any form of abuse. In 2018, he streamed League of Legends again for the first time. There were nearly 400,000 views, which at that time broke the record of most concurrent views by a single streamer on Twitch.

Later, he shared stories about his addiction to League of Legends, which encouraged his followers to share their addiction stories and seek advice from the game’s employees. In October 2020, Steinkamp joined the South Korean eSports team as a content creator.

In November 2017, he had also hosted an online League of Legends tournament called the Tyler1 Championship Series.

The Tyler1 Championship Series returned in November 2018, this time with an increased price of $50,000, which was again funded by him alone.
