A streamer taking the top spot in battle-royale style party game is hardly headline news, but Tim's story captured the attention of fans thanks to the struggle of his path to victory.
Fall Guys, one of the hit games of the summer, pits 60 egg-shaped competitors against each other, eliminating them through a series of mini-games until one is left standing. It's not exactly difficult to win, but it's frustrating, with luck as much a part of victory as skill.
For a streamer of Tim's prominence, grabbing a victory should not have taken long, but after a few frustrating days, it was clear the win wasn't going to come easy, and his failures quickly became a meme of sorts. Some fans began to cheer him on, but Tim suspected others of attempting to cue up in his games to thwart his effort.
