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
G2 will still be one of the top teams in the world either way, but this move does represent their thirst for a Worlds championship title. The team is tired of winning split after split in Europe, and now they have their eyes set on Worlds 2
This move should be an immediate upgrade for TSM, who suffered an early exit in the spring playoffs at the hands of Flyquest. Doublelift will be reuniting with former teammates Søren „Bjergsen” Bjerg and Vincent „Biofrost” Wang, who Doublelift won three consecutive titles with from the summer of 2016 to the summer of 2
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
Taric is among those few champions of League of Legends who look absolutely stunning. It’s not hard to believe that players pick him because of the smashing exterior rather than his gameplay qualities. He is able to steal the attention completely once he enters the battlefi
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
The Coronavirus, or at least the new strand of the virus referred to as the Wuhan Coronavirus, has been affecting mainland China for months now. Since it’s first reported case on December 1st, 2019, the virus has heavily affected everyday life in China as well as imports and exports coming in and out of the coun
Similar to the League of Legends cancellation, the Overwatch League of Legends strategy also saw delays , as the February and March matches in China have also been cancelled due to concerns of the Wuhan Coronavirus. Both of these cancelled events will surely impact both Blizzard and Riot, as these esports leagues tend to draw in massive crowds for both the present audience, as well as online. However, it’s likely the esports players and teams that will likely be feeling these delays the hardest, as their livelihoods are built on their performance and sponsorsh
Believe it or not, the Spring Split of the 2020 League of Legends Championship Series is already past its halfway point, and teams and players are starting to see themselves separate from the rest of the pack. Cloud9 leads the way, extending their dominant streak and continuing their quest for the coveted 18-0 undefeated season. Flyquest, now in sole possession of 2nd place, impresses once again and they now sit comfortably behind Cloud9 at 7-3. TSM continues to flip-flop between strong and shaky weeks, but the Bjergsen-led squad rounds out the top three at 6-4. As they and the rest of the players fight it out on the rift to distinguish themselves and their teams, some performances stood out from the r
The recent addition of Yu „JackeyLove” Wen-Bo seems to have unlocked something in this team. The upcoming Summer Split will be JackeyLove’s first full split with Top Esports, and fans can expect the young bot laner to be one of the main contributors as they compete in the
