The American Tyler “Tyler1” Steinkamp (28) is the world’s largest streamer of League of Legends on Twitch. He has now chosen Berlin as his headquarters to conquer the European LoL server “EUW” from Germany, but the man encounters difficulties. Because things are different in Germany than at home, he asks whether Germany is a third world country or is it still at the level it was in 1940. He quickly apologizes for the comparison with Nazi Germany.

8 a.m. and no delivery service brings Tyler1 his breakfast kebab
This is his problem: In one stream, Tyler1 was terribly upset that he couldn’t have his breakfast meal of choice delivered “in the heart of Berlin” at 8 a.m. on Saturday morning.
Because in Berlin, all the services he prefers deliver from 10 a.m. at the earliest. Leaving the room and going to any bakery or – God help it – having breakfast somewhere with the common people does not seem to be an option for the streamer. At home, mom cooks for him, whom he pays handsomely as a private cook. Otherwise he can obviously deliver everything.
Tyler1 insists that someone bring his “breakfast kebab” to his door, or a “bacon bun,” or a “breakfast bagel.” As long as it’s something with meat.
How upset is he? In a video compilation you can see that the frustration level of the 1.67 m tall colossus increases with increasing hunger:
Streamer compares Germany 2023 with Germany 1940
This is how it got really weird: Towards the end of the video compilation, Tyler1 is very surprised about Germany and the apparently lacking work ethic of the Germans.
He wonders when Germans work at all. Did they really start work at 10 a.m.? The American knows that breakfast should be available from 5 a.m. when people start work at 8 a.m.
He then gets angry that the delivery service can’t take the “syrup” off his food and asks if Germany is a “Third World” country or if North America is just so much better optimized:
“Come on today! It’s 2023, not 19-fucking-40. That makes me puke.”
The sentence with 1940 went too far even for him. He then has to laugh as he reads out the chat:
Did he just compare Germany 2023 to Germany 1940 because he couldn’t get the syrup off his blueberry pancake?
Okay… actually I didn’t know when [der Weltkrieg] exactly happened. So I apologize for that. I’m sorry – that [den Vergleich] I didn’t do it. 1970 Germany!
Is there also something in Germany that he likes? Yes. He likes the tap water here. He says the tap water in Europe is actually good and drinkable.
He would never drink from the tap in North America and thinks all people who drink tap water in the US are repulsive animals and gross.
How’s his challenge going? mixed. As reported by Dotesports, after 3 days of streaming 49 hours on Twitch, Tyler1 has now achieved Diamond IV, a medium rank.
As in Korea, Tyler1 struggles with people deliberately sabotaging his streams if they recognize him.
For these stream snipers, he has a clear message:
This is behind it: You have to realize that Tyler1 plays an on-camera role where he speaks “without a filter” and deliberately gets excited about things and simplifies them.
He’s actually a lot smarter than his “I can’t get anything to eat” rant makes him seem. That’s why he immediately flinches when he realizes how “Germany 1940” can also be understood. He says he never said that and sincerely apologizes for it.
But the fact that he doesn’t even begin to have an idea of when exactly Nazi Germany and World War II happened seems a bit strange – at least from a German’s point of view. But it is also normal for us to leave the house for breakfast and not have everything delivered to us.
Tyler1 not only has a big ego, but he’s got a lot:
