Fnatic cleanly swept them 3-0 and won the 2018 Spring Split. The European fan-favorites would win again during the Summer 0f 2018, while G2 suffered an early exit from the Summer playoffs at the hands of Misfits in the quarterfinals. Despite the somewhat disappointing 2018 Spring and Summer Splits, G2 secured themselves a spot to compete in the 2018 World Champions

The Lego Movie was a big hit for Warner Bros. in 2014. Taking Emmet (voiced by Chris Pratt ) through a colorful brick world and encompassing characters from a multitude of franchises and brands, the long-awaited debut of the Danish toy company on the big screen was enjoyed by adults and kids alike. Once again, this success set off the shared universe alarm at Warner Bros. HQ and it wasn’t long before a direct sequel and a multitude of spin-offs were green

After 2019, Dignitas made major changes to the roster that competed in Worlds under the Clutch Gaming brand. The organization shook up their entire five man roster, making changes at nearly every position. One of those changes was famously the young, talented support Philippe “Vulcan” Laflamme. who was bought out by Cloud9 for a whopping $1.75 million . He went on to win the Spring Split with his new team and now looks like the clear best at his position in North Amer

While it might not have been the first, the Marvel Cinematic Universe spearheaded by Kevin Feige and now under the ownership of Disney has refined the formula for a modern audience. Beginning with Iron Man in 2008 and exploding thanks to The Avengers 4 years later, the MCU pumps out multiple movies per year, almost all of which have garnered considerable critical and commercial success. Seeing the success Marvel Studios were enjoying, rival studios clamored to adopt the shared universe approach, but many of these pretenders have since fallen by the ways

Despite the team’s seemingly never-ending inconsistencies, the Dignitas bot lane has been a glimmer of hope for fans of the franchise. Johnsun, the young AD carry acquired in the Vulcan deal, has impressed North American spectators. Born in Canada, Johnsun has proven himself valuable in a region where young, native talent is a rare commod

Even though the Lego universe ultimately did fail, the franchise at least dropped a couple of solid efforts before fading into cinematic obscurity. The same can’t be said for Warner Bros.’ planned King Arthur universe. Released in 2017 and starring Charlie Hunnam in the title role, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword certainly had promise as a standalone venture, with Guy Ritchie directing and Jude Law in a key villainous role. In reality, the movie was widely trashed in reviews and made a huge loss for Warner Bros. financially. All of which makes the studio’s plans for a six-film shared universe seem all the more ridicul

“If at first you don’t succeed, try, and try again.” Those were the words of Gamers2 for those two years as the organization struggled, split after split. Despite his team’s poor performances, Ocelote was set on his vision of building a winning team, and was willing to take the necessary risks to do so. On June 2nd, 2015 , the young owner took a chance on sixteen-year-old Luka “PerkZ” Perković to be the team’s mid laner of the future, replacing Jérémy “Eika” Valdena

“No one wants to pick up Dardoch, that’s not my fault.” In what was perhaps the most talked-about news in League of Legends this year, Team SoloMid president Leena Xu’s controversy with Yiliang “Doublelift” Peng and Joshua “Dardoch” Hartnett caused an explosion in the community when Leena was overheard on Doublelift’s stream saying in a phone call that now-infamous series of words. Well, it turns out she was wrong, as the twenty-two-year-old jungler became the latest player to sign with Digni

G2’s 2018 spring was inconsistent at best, but they managed to finish the split in 2nd place, behind Fnatic. Despite finishing outside of the top spot for the first time ever, G2 managed to make the Spring finals where they’d play Fnatic to defend their title, and try for their fifth straight champions

In Evil Geniuses’ first split back in the LCS, they made waves by signing high profile players in reigning MVP Dennis “Svenskeren” Johnsen, former Team Vitality mid-laner Daniele “Jiizuke” di Mauro and Bae “Bang” Jun-sik, who won two World Championships back when he was a part of SKT T1 in 2015 and 2016. The team also added former Cloud9 youngsters Tristan “Zeyzal” Stidam and Colin “Kumo” Zhao. Despite looking inconstant at times, EG finished the split in 3rd place, losing to Flyquest in the semi-fin
