Varus seemed to be the only champion to be a perma-ban for every team in the Mid-Season Cup. The few times he slipped through the banning phase, he’d be immediately first picked by the blue team, making the red team who didn’t ban him regret
Being the most experienced support in the LCS, aphromoo talked about the current bot lane meta and if Dignitas plans to shake up their picks at all. “Meta is important but once you finally start meshing as a team, you’re able to branch out. So, we’ll definitely be branching out a bit more, I would s
With Doublelift gone, Team Liquid have flipped their history book to a fresh, blank sheet, and they’ll be turning to Edward “Tactical” Ra to help fill in the pages. Team Liquid had won four consecutive titles before Cloud9 won the 2020 Spring Finals, dominating North America for two straight ye
Dignitas went through even more inconsistency in the following Spring Split, benching their new jungler Jonathan “Grig” Armao in favor of Matthew “Akaadian” Higginbotham. After missing out on playoffs, Dignitas dropped Grig and acquired jungler Joshua “Dardoch” Hartnett and top laner Omran “V1per” Sho
This build leans on your team quite a bit but offers an unstoppable wall that can disrupt enemy attacks towards the late-game. Items like Righteous Glory and Shurelya’s Reverie enhance HP pools, regeneration, and movement sp

With a team composed of Wunder in the top lane, Jankos in the jungle, Caps in the mid lane and Perkz and Mikyx in the bot lane, G2 would find their old form. This roster, composed of faces both old and new, gelled together in a way that was previously unseen. Caps unlocked something, and the team started to win again. But this time, they weren’t villains, they were her
2019 marked the League Of Legends Ranked Guide‘s rebrand from the EU LCS to the LEC, the League of Legends European Championship.

Knight, along with JackeyLove, 369, yuyanjia and jungler Hung “Karsa” Hao-Hsuan will have their eyes on Summer Split title, looking to get revenge on JD Gaming for beating them in the 2020 Spring fin
When asked if he thinks Clash has helped with any of the issues in solo queue, Aphromoo laughed and said, “No, I’ve never played Clash in my life man.” The support added his thoughts about solo queue, saying, “But, even though solo queue still sucks man, I still play it anyway. It’s the only type of practice you can do by yourself. There’s nothing else besides in-houses but once teams start actually practicing, no one wants [to play solo queue] n
Although Top Esports looked phenomenal this tournament, they were about the only ones who did. Both LPL and LCK teams were no strangers to mid-game throws, literally throwing away their advantages and losing games because of
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 .
