With no shortage of surprising roster swaps and eyebrow-raising decisions, it’s been tough trying to keep up with everything that’s happening. There’s no need to fret, however, because here is a breakdown of the biggest moves to happen these past few d
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
One strange effect of the Coronavirus lately, has had more to do with gamers directly as opposed to the industry behind selling and developing games. Some titles with surface level similarities to the virus have been skyrocketing as fears of the Wuhan Coronavirus have swept across the world. In fact, popular mobile title Plague Inc. has excelled in China since worries of the virus started spreading throughout the coun
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
Similarly, Resident Evil began trending online as players noticed some eerie similarities between the company working on a vaccine and the in-game Umbrella Corporation. So, in some rare cases, certain games have even benefited from the fears of the Coronavirus and how they relate to the illness. However, the effects of this virus might wind up spreading even further into the future, as the manufacturing of this years most anticipated consoles may be at r
With the season just halfway through, it can be argued that all five Cloud9 members are worthy of winning the Spring Split MVP. Each of them are dominating in their own way, but perhaps none are more deserving than Zven. Playing excellent both mechanically and mentally, Zven along with his support Vulcan have dominated the bot lane this season, and week 5 was no different. Zven played an excellent Varus against CLG, who Cloud9 unsurprisingly beat. What was surprising, however, was Cloud9’s choice of bot lane in their second game against Immortals. Zven actually played „support” Senna, while Vulcan went Tahm Kench, acting as the „carry.” This is a strategy similar to what Dignitas Academy employed in their matchup against Golden Guardians Academy, where AD carry Fenix went Senna and support Olleh went Galio. Fenix „supported” Olleh as he farmed with Ga
A similar situation can be seen happening to Nintendo’s Animal Crossing : New Horizons as the manufacturers for the custom Switch that comes with the Switch Bundle are located in China. Again, the industry is a worldwide collection of independent companies and tech giants all coming together to deliver games, and in the past a majority of the manufacturing has been performed in China. As a result, when something like the Coronavirus begins spreading through the manufacturing center of the world, production can halt and 2xko sett shipments get dela
After the whole Dardoch situation, many were left wondering just who TSM would announce as their starting jungler. The fan favorites turned in-house, deciding to promote Academy jungler Mingyi „Spica” Lu. Spica made his LCS debut with TSM back in Summer 2019, where he notably stole baron against Flyquest in his first ever LCS game. He then stole baron again in his playoff debut later that season against Clutch Gam
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
After just recently sweeping Fnatic in the 2020 Spring Finals, G2 has now tied their rival for most European titles of all time. What Fnatic did in six years, G2 did in just over four. There is no doubt who the real kings of Europe are. But, the team’s goals go past winning their region. G2 Esports want to win Wor
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
