In esports, a split-second can change everything. The right play can secure tournaments and money, or cement your reputation.

To put it simply, it can change your life.

But in the same way, a misplay can ruin you. One wrong click, errant skillshot or misplaced utility can scream disaster. Now if you're lucky, you can escape the life sentence of humiliation. Not that your record is ever clean of course. The internet is forever.

But some people have been able to take a terrible situation and turn it to their benefit. Flipping one monumental screw-up into a lighthearted meme. And one man has been able to flip an awful play into his own personal brand of self-deprecating humour.

Caedrel, professional Jungler turned LEC caster by day and sardonic streamer by night has used his unique charm and unmatched knowledge to produce one of the most rousing career stories in recent history.

He's become League of Legend's newest streaming sensation, and it all started with one misplay.
