Even a dachshund can play LOL, as long as it's with a magical cat

The Twitch streamer poopernoodle has captured the attention of social media users with a viral video showing her dachshund, Pea, playing League of Legends. In the recording, which quickly became a phenomenon, Pea presses buttons on a keyboard, making plays with Yuumi, a character from the popular game by Riot Games who, interestingly, is a magical cat.
This choice is not random; Yuumi is known for her low difficulty of use and her ability to attach to an ally, which simplifies gameplay, making it easier for Pea to participate in the action.
Yuumi does not require much skill
The story of Pea is not an isolated case in the gaming world. In 2019, a player known as Saskio caused a stir by using his feet to control Yuumi, which made it clear that ways of playing can be as varied as the players themselves. In the thread where Pea’s video was shared, several users recalled other similar experiences, demonstrating that creativity in gaming knows no bounds.
Pea joins a curious list of animals in the realm of video games. For example, Peanut Butter, a dog that earned a spot in the Guinness World Records for his speed in the game Gyromite. Likewise, research, such as a study conducted by Eckerd College, has documented dogs that manage to interact with video games in surprising ways.
This phenomenon can be explained by the combination of accessible design, meme culture, and the innate human fascination with watching animals play. Thus, the story of Pea, which echoes a joke in the gaming realm about the capabilities of teammates, has become entertainment for many, resonating deeply within the online community.
