[@photonicpizza1466]

Right? 2000 rapid games in just two months is insane, his sheer focus is unparalleled.

[@Leyrann]

He acts simplistic a lot of the time (no doubt in part for content), but if you take a closer look you can easily see he has a very sharp intelligence underneath that. Not everyone can make and stay Challenger for many years, or do it in every role on demand, and he clearly has good entertainment and business sense based on both his own projects and his appearances on Riot broadcasts and the like. It's hilarious to imagine Tyler1 playing (and raging about, no doubt) chess, but I'm not actually _surprised_ that he's improving quickly, and as Levy points out in the video, he has good potential. If chess is his new addiction, replacing League, well, I'm gonna say he'll get to 2000 elo at _least,_ assuming he puts some time into theory (and he's already putting time into puzzles so there's a good chance he will), and on top of that if he gets mad and start trolling/inting, unlike in League he won't be griefing anyone else, so that's a plus too. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next in this saga.

There was a sort of circle formed around him with tons of people and he turned it into an impromptu meet and greet, taking time to do selfies and talk to everyone.
