Twitch star Tyler1 defeated Gen.G star mid-lane Chovy in a ranked game, labeling him “predictable” on stream and claiming players from the LPL and LCK are “frauds” following his triumph.
Having international pros in North America for Worlds 2022 has produced some wonderful moments within Champions Queue, but some pros have taken their practice hours outside of Champions Queue operating hours.
Twitch sensation Tyler ‘Tyler1’ Steinkamp faced off against Gen.G mid laner Jeong ‘Chovy’ Ji-hoon in a game, and he was not impressed.
He went on to discuss Chovy’s shortcomings as a player when he got to play against him, and declared that “all of these LCK/LPL players are frauds, I believe.”
Chovy’s fame precedes him. With CS figures that frequently top the LCK, his laning has always been a center of emphasis for why he’s such a powerful player.
After playing against him, Tyler1 stated that Chovy’s strength at farming and catching waves may be a drawback in its own right.
Tyler went on to say that Chovy was predictable and that his map play was easy to read.
While there didn’t appear to be a VoD for this match, Tyler1 wasn’t lying, as evidenced by his op.gg. He was playing Sion mid, and his jungle was none other than T1’s Oner.
Tyler1 then claimed that LCK and LPL players are “frauds.” He didn’t think much more of North America’s pro athletes, calling them “frauds” who also sucked. After all, how many of them have played all five roles in Challenger?
