Twitch star Timthetatman eventually won a game of Fall Guys

As the world wrestles in the clutches of a seemingly never-ending wave of chaos, one Twitch streamer gets his heart-warming battle to win a game of the new battle royale sensation Fall Guys is a story that we can all happily round out.

Timothy “TimTheTatMan” Betar, a streamer best known for playing popular Battle Royale games and his close friendships with other famous names in the Fornite and neighboring communities, has struggled to claim a crown since the release of UK developer Mediatonic Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout on August 4th.

His countless failed attempts and growing comic frustration morphed into a meme, with the official Fall Guys Twitter account goes and trolls him about his failures and fellow streamers tackling fun.

But on Wednesday, Tim claimed victory – and did so with close to 340,000 live viewers on Twitch.

In the two weeks since its release, Fall Guys has become a worldwide sensation, routinely held a top spot on Twitch and lures players everywhere to its slapstick game show-inspired antics, relatively smooth difficulty curve, and all around cartoony and pastel aesthetics.

It’s the feel-good game of the summer, made even more rewarding by how easy it is to master its simple challenge: be the last jellybean-shaped avatar left standing from a group of 60. It combines all competing profession of Fortnite of Call of Duty: Warzone with the accessibility and kid-friendly atmosphere of a Nintendo classic like Mario Party.

It’s not that hard to win – that’s part of the profession. But it requires a little good luck and some fierce and measured focus. Yet for TimTheTatMan, getting the coveted dub was no easy feat. Time and time again he would fall victim to a bad time dive as one of the signing moments of the game of extreme, uncontrollable randomness that sends you, and not the person next to you, flying off the card or into ‘ the air creeps as you land in a pool of pink slime.

In the end, it seemed like there were other forces at play. Some participants openly felt saddened by Tim watching his stream and trying to compete in his lobby, where he would be gripped and shoved until eliminated. In one viral clip, he can be seen falling right through the floor, the victim of a seemingly rare glitch.

But against all odds, Tim won, winning one last round of the Hex-A-Gone mini-game to claim his first crown. Within minutes, the hashtags #hedidit and #iwashere started trending, and congratulations from some of the biggest names in gaming quickly crept in.
