Joining Dardoch is former Flyquest top laner Omran “V1per” Shoura, who recently signed with Dignitas after the team let go of Heo “Huni” Seung-hoon. Dignitas came into the Spring Split with moderately high expectations, fielding a roster of grizzled veterans Huni, Henrik “Froggen” Hansen, Zaqueri “aphromoo” Black and up-and-coming rookie Johnson “Johnsun” Nguyen. The team struggled heavily though, benching their jungler Jonathan “Grig” Armao in favor of academy jungler Matthew “Akaadian” Higginbot
There’s no game in the world like League of Legends. Modern-day eSports can be grateful for the success of the game. While eSports has existed for decades in the form of competitive Quake and Call of Duty tournaments and competition, neither has even come close to what League of Legends has accomplished. It’s completely understandable while people would want to play this game. An entire business has been built around this single game. Although for beginners, try collecting a group of friends and learning together. It could be their next favorite g
For abilities you want to start with Double Up, then about level eight switch to Strut and at level 14 focus on Make It Rain. You’ll spend most of your time accompanying a tank and providing brutal DPS while they keep the enemy b
After wining the 2019 Spring Split, G2 traveled to Taipei for the Mid-Season Invitational. They’d take down Korea’s SKT and North America’s Team Liquid to win Europe their first MSI title. G2 went on to win their sixth title during Summer 2019 and would eventually make it all the way to Worlds Grand Final before losing to China’s FunPlus Phoe
“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 Champion Guide 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
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
G2 lost their first four games at MSI, ultimately coming in second to last place and missing the playoffs entirely. This was devastating not only to G2, but to Europe as a whole, as this placement meant that the region would miss out on a Pool 1 Seed at Worlds. In regards to their poor play, the organization hastily put out a statement halfway through day two of the event, explaining how the team had taken vacation time after a “rigorous Spring Split.” SKT would go on to win MSI, with Faker receiving
G2’s first game in the LCS was on January 14th, 2016. Following the departure of SmittyJ and Jesse, G2 added Kim “Trick” Gang-yun and Kim “Emperor” Jin-hyun to play in the jungle and bottom lane. Still led by Kikis and Perkz (although no longer with a capital “z”), the fresh young team faced off against Elements and former Gamers2 mid laner Eika, in their first LCS g
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
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
