[@chessintern]

[@luckersteef7985]

not many people will understand the gravity of what Tyler has accomplished in league. Especially because his success in league utilizes a very macro-oriented, pattern recognizing playstyle. He's made for chess. When Tyler looks at a frame of league he intuitively understands where each player is, where the value is, what everyone's win condition is and makes the right move accordingly. He did this for all 5 roles of the game. He didn't succeed because he's just mechanically gifted on a strong champion and downing Adderalls. He wins with the same tools that you win with chess. He's also an addict.

[@redridingcape]

Not only that, but he's able and willing to put in enough time to succeed. That's actually one of the hardest things to do when learning something new.
