Nightblue3

About

Rabia Yazbek, known as Nightblue3, is a League of Legends streamer who explains the jungle role at Challenger level. His videos also turn unusual champion choices into experiments: the A-Z Jungle series works through the game's roster alphabetically, including champions rarely used in the role.^[1][2]

Choosing streaming over the LCS

He began streaming League in 2012, according to his Twitch profile.^[3][1] He later reached Challenger on the North American and EU West servers.^[3] In early 2014, he joined TSM's streaming network and became a substitute jungler. He left in May without playing an LCS match and explained that professional training was taking time away from teaching the game and developing his broadcasts. He planned to build a network of creators around his stream.^[1]

The Nubrac dispute and GlitchCon

In June 2019, he threatened to get fellow player Nubrac suspended during a match after objecting to his roaming Teemo support strategy. Nubrac defended the strategy as an attempt to win. Riot subsequently gave Nightblue3 a two-week League suspension for his comments.^[4]

In November 2020, Twitch suspended his channel following the GlitchCon tournament. Twitch Rivals said he had cooperated in stream sniping to influence an opposing team's play; it also barred him from its events for six months and removed his prize winnings.^[5]
