Dantes jokes about his daughter's League of Legends career
During the stream, Dantes joked about starting a YouTube channel called “The Forlini Family” after the baby is born. He then imagined turning his daughter’s life into a League of Legends challenge, starting from the day she was born.
Dantes said:
“Okay, so just so everyone’s aware of the content plan: we’re starting a YouTube channel called The Forlini Family. The second she’s born, it’s going to be a speedrun from birth to Challenger. We’re hoping it takes less than six months. Every second of her life will be fully documented. It’s going to be crazy.”
The joke quickly spread after an X user shared a clip from the stream. While some viewers understood that Dantes was being sarcastic, others reacted as if he was seriously planning to make his daughter’s life part of his content.
One X user wrote:
“Do zero people in these comments realise it's a joke?”
Another viewer asked:
“Do people not understand sarcasm?”
Not everyone found the joke funny. One user criticized the idea of making money from a child’s life, writing:
“F*****g we*rdo, all about the money... Poor child.”
Another viewer added:
“I'd **** myself if this was my dad ngl.”
The mixed reactions came from a joke that was intentionally exaggerated, with Dantes using the language of League of Legends speedruns to imagine an impossible goal for a newborn.
Dantes jokes about naming his daughter Hecarim Dantes Jr.
Dantes continued with the League of Legends jokes during the stream, this time talking about his daughter’s name.

Dantes said:
“So, guys, we’re having a daughter named Hecarim Dantes Jr., and she’s literally gonna be the most amazing League of Legends player to ever grace this planet.”
