Ssumday also had a solid game during 100 Thieves’ first game of the week against TSM, but couldn’t manage to get the win alongside his struggling teammates. During week 5, Ssumday led all top laners in KDA (kill/death/assist ratio) with 6, while also managing to get a whopping 3 solo kills, cementing himself as one of the week’s best players. Currently sitting in 6th place at 4-6, 100 Thieves will continue to count on Ssumday to be their driving force for the remaining half of the sea

Ssumday continued to be one of the most impactful players this past weekend, being the first in the LCS this split to use Lucian in the top lane. While playing against Golden Guardians on the versatile marksman, Ssumday outperformed his top lane opponent Hauntzer, who was playing Gangplank, by out farming him by 25 CS (creep score) at the 15-minute mark. In terms of XP (experience points), every one of Ssumday’s teammates was losing to their respective opponents at the 15-minute mark while Ssumday himself led Hauntzer by an impressive 912 XP. The South Korea native utilized this early game advantage to carry his team to an impressive victory over the Golden Guardi

Miss Fortune is back in the meta and stands out as one of the most efficient ADCs in League of Legends . This is mainly because of the highly oppressive laning phase and the chance to easily build armor penetration early in the g

Although their situation may seem dire, Team Dignitas is in an okay position. Johnsun showed true potential as AD carry, and with veterans Henrik “Froggen” Hansen and Zaqueri “aphromoo” Black, Team Dignitas may be able sneak themselves into competition s

Diana used to be a weak champion until level 6, but the already-mentioned skill swap changed that. Skilled players can gain a huge laning advantage and can easily roam to influence other lanes. Also, the champion can be played in different ways, with various possible builds via

This strategy works because of a mechanic with Senna, where killing minions has a chance of dropping souls, which Senna can collect, granting her bonus attack damage. So Senna actually doesn’t need the gold from CS to get stronger, she can just collect the souls that drop as her laning partner farms. Although DIG Academy lost with this strategy, Zven collected enough souls early game to the point where Immortals couldn’t handle his damage output, and Cloud9 was able to take the win. Zven and Vulcan will look to continue their domination for Cloud9 in the second half of the spring sp

In the world of League of Legends , there’s a K-pop band called K/DA, and Akali happens to be a part of it. She’s still deadly despite the looks of a teenage idol, and cosplayer Shinku_真紅 delivers an unbelievably authentic recreation and the duality of the charac

The only problem with Ornn is that the champion is much more difficult to master than most players initially think. Unstoppable Breath helps avoid hard CC and the chance to forge item buffs for other champions offers thousands of dollars in extra gold during late g

There used to be a time when nobody in Europe knew what a “G2” was. Or maybe they did, but they thought it was just something you drank during a workout. In late August of 2015, the European League of Legends Strategy of Legends Championship Series was barely three years old and Fnatic was fresh off their second consecutive title, winning a whopping five out of the league’s first six. Meanwhile, an organization called Gamers2, owned by Carlos “Ocelote” Rodriguez Santiago, had been battling their way through the EU Challenger Series for the two years prior, trying to earn themselves a spot to compete in the European

TSM has now won six out of their last eight games, finding their way to 3rd place in the LCS Spring standings. Dardoch has been a major part of this surge, playing Lee Sin both games this past weekend against 100 Thieves and Evil Geniuses, winning both handily. One of the main jobs of a jungler is to secure neutral objectives, such as baron and dragon, as these give buffs that increase the stats of the players, helping them win fights. During week 5, TSM gave up 6 dragons, taking just 3 for themselves. This was done intentionally, however, as they decided to exchange early game dragons for objectives elsewhere on the map, such as map pressure and turrets. Early game dragons were weakened this past off season, and making these trade-offs helped TSM get early advantages. In doing so, this enabled Dardoch to secure baron buffs, an arguably more important late game objective. He managed to secure his team 100% of the barons taken this past weekend, which led to TSM winning both games. In terms of personal stats, Dardoch led junglers with a 14 KDA this week, dying just once. TSM will look to Dardoch to be a strength in the jungle, as they chase Flyquest in the standi
