Ginnique Ends a Ranked League of Legends Night on Seven Straight Losses, Still Smiling

ALGORHYTHM PROJECT — Ginnique ended a Tuesday night of ranked League of Legends on a seven-game losing streak, then told viewers he had enjoyed the evening anyway.

The Algorhythm Project streamer went live at about 9:40 p.m. Thailand time. He said he had first thought about singing but decided to open a stream to sit, chat and play instead. The opening stretch was small talk with viewers, including the first cool, windy weather of the season where several of them live, before he started queuing for ranked games.

“Rule number one of League of Legends: there is no such thing as the last game.” — Ginnique, partway through the losing streak

Over roughly four hours he moved through the roles. He started in the jungle, farmed through long stretches and said he mostly wanted to avoid fighting over dragons in ranked. Later he said he was done and would rather play support, then took a top lane game, where he talked about how much nerve that lane takes. In one game he pushed down two towers and called it a success for the champion he was playing. He met the same opposing pick in three games, kept forgetting to ban it, and said that whenever it was on the other side his opponents did nothing but shove his lanes.

The night turned after a run of defeats around the three-hour mark. He half-sang a line from a song about sudden tears, said he could no longer hold the key, and told chat the game really does change people. Not long after, a loss prompted him to joke that the last game of the night does not exist. He also opened a room for viewers to queue with him, saying with a laugh that he wanted them to carry him, and played one game with someone who joined.

When the seventh straight loss ended the session, he said the day might simply not have been one for winning. He added that he had still had a lot of fun: with his attention hard to focus lately, he liked chatting with viewers while clicking through a game. He thanked chat, told everyone heading to work or school tomorrow to do well, and wished them good food and good sleep.
