There’s a lot to unpack from 2020’s first international tournament, from Korean champs T1 being eliminated in the group stage, to Kang “TheShy” Seung-lok’s concerning performances. But here are five of the biggest takeaways from the 2020 Mid-Season
The 2020 Mid Season Cup was no different, with Gen.G being the lone LCK team to make it out of the group stage. Many pegged T1, who recently won the 2020 LCK Spring Split, as the favorites to win the tournament. Despite getting off to early leads in their games thanks to some nutty plays from Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok, T1 looked near-clueless at times, losing their advantages and allowing their opponents to come back and
Riot Games will need to focus on updating both the mobile MOBA and the PC title, meaning there are concerns over which title gets first priority and how “in-depth” the mobile MOBA will get. Moreover, players who want to “go pro” on one platform might not be able to do it with the other, given time constrai
The huge popularity of the game results in a fair amount of themed cosplay . There’re creators from across the globe who share their masterful visions with the community. Some of the characters recreated by them look so authentic that they could easily be life-size models of the in-game champions. And here’re some of t
Top Esports mid laner Zhuo “knight” Ding’s performance in the Mid-Season Cup was nothing short of brilliant. The twenty-year-old on Corki, despite losing both games on the champion, popped off, even winning teamfights single handedly to turn the tides of the games. Knight was able to get his hands on Syndra twice, before the champion, for all intents and purposes, became a perma-ban for his opposition due to his unrivaled skill on the Dark Sovere
Since Wild Rift will help League transition into mobile platforms, players will finally play League with a much simpler format. Interested players often complain about how OG League might be too complicated. This comment might pertain to item combos, Runes setups, or even Spell select
The hovering spirit with very few clothes is one of the obvious candidates for an easy cosplay, but don’t get fooled. Janna has some unique traits, and it’s not the simplest job to recreate her looks. Moreover, she serves as the pillar of hope, according to lore, and a potential cosplayer should consider that
2019 marked the League of Legends tier list‘s rebrand from the EU LCS to the LEC, the League of Legends European Championship. In their fourth year in the league, G2 would drop the bombshell of the decade by signing former Fnatic mid laner Rasmus “Caps” Borregaar, and moving Perkz to the AD carry position. The team would go on to sign Mihael “Mikyx” Mehle as w
After a series of roster shakeups and additions, notably Mateusz “Kikis” Szkudlarek in the jungle, Ocelote finally built a Gamers2 roster that would find success. Taking down SK Gaming in the promotion series, Gamers2 qualified for the 2016 EU LCS Spring Split. The team would later rebrand to G2 Esports following their qualificat
As a ranged hero, Xayah heavily relies on the deadly feathers that she throws with frightening precision. Her whole appearance tells that she’s wild and dangerous, and it goes along with her quest to protect her people. You shouldn’t be fooling around with such a masterful warr
In the west, G2 Esports and Cloud9 look like two of the strongest teams to ever play in their respective regions. G2 just recently lost to FunPlus Phoenix in the 2019 World finals while a North American team has never made it out of the semi-finals. With the lack of international competition, the chaos caused by COVID-19, and the Asian teams just looking weaker than usual, this could be the west’s chance to finally secure themselves a ti
Flyquest has outperformed all exceptions this split, in large part due to their 22 year old German mid laner. Along with having the coolest name in the LCS, PowerOfEvil has led his team to four victories in a row. During week 5 he flexed his expansive champion pool, playing Orianna against Golden Guardians and Corki against Counter Logic Gaming, both firsts for him this split. PowerOfEvil was also the first player in the world to win a game as Corki this year. Immortals’ Eika and DAMWON Gaming’s ShowMaker in Korea were the only other players to use Corki, both losing their games on t he daring bombardier . As Flyquest looks to finish out the season strong, they will lean on PowerOfEvil to be a dominant force in the mid l
There could be some exceptions, but a cosplay by Roulette is authentic to the core. Moreover, the creator stepped away from the original looks of the character and went for a lot more challenging (and equally more impressive) skin of Captain Fort
Taking cues from popular mobile MOBA, Wild Rift features dual-stick controls. While this makes point-and-click skills turn into skill shots, Wild Rift did overhaul the UI to make handling Champions much more fl
