Nicholas “Jynxzi” Stewart is stepping into the Rift for the very first time this Sunday, with none other than Tyler “Tyler1” Steinkamp set to coach him through his League of Legends debut stream. The former-R6 player, made the announcement live on his stream, brushing off doubters who predicted he would quickly quit the game.
“I think if I apply every part of my brain cells to League of Legends, I can conquer that game,” Jynxzi said, setting his first goal as climbing out of Iron, the lowest rank in the game. Perhaps the biggest reveal, however, was that Tyler1 would be his coach through the League journey. The format follows Jynxzi’s previous forays in VALORANT and Clash Royale where he was coached by Tyson “TenZ” Ngo, and Ryley “Ryley” respectively.

I’ve never met Tyler1. A lot of people say we are twins, a lot of people say he’s my father.

Can Jynxzi escape Iron with Tyler1’s coaching?
Jynxzi has set a simple target for his debut League of Legends stream: escaping Iron. Iron is League’s entry-level rank, and a reasonable target for a MOBA beginner like him. With Tyler1’s experience and intense coaching style, the stream should be an entertaining one for both League players and Jynxzi viewers. Whether Jynxzi can survive the learning curve remains to be seen. The stream is scheduled for Sunday, April 26.
