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
G2 Esports once again was the team to beat during 2016 summer, rounding out the split in 1st place. The team would go on to win the summer playoffs and capture their second title in as many seasons. Swiping Origen’s bot lane from under their noses and stealing Europe’s limelight away from Fnatic, combined with the team’s unforgiving dominance and MSI controversy, in less than a year, G2 Esports quickly became the villains of Eur
James Wan’s The Conjuring was already spiritually connected to the sub-genre of jump-scare heavy modern horror releases in the vein of Insidious and Sinister , and Warner Bros. were no doubt hoping the effort would make enough money to produce a run of sequels. The Conjuring would indeed go on to frighten its way into fans’ hearts and spook the cash from their wallets, and it was only then that the widespread potential of The Conjuring not just as a film series but as a fully-interconnected movie universe became cl
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
Even though the Lego universe ultimately did fail, Bel’veth Guide the franchise at least dropped a couple of solid efforts before fading into cinematic obscurity. The same can’t be said for Warner Bros.’ planned King Arthur universe. Released in 2017 and starring Charlie Hunnam in the title role, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword certainly had promise as a standalone venture, with Guy Ritchie directing and Jude Law in a key villainous role. In reality, the movie was widely trashed in reviews and made a huge loss for Warner Bros. financially. All of which makes the studio’s plans for a six-film shared universe seem all the more ridicul
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
This should be made into a skin today. If you aren’t aware, there is an Amumu skin named Emumu which once featured similar splash art. In it, the emo version of The Sad Mummy was sitting in his room with references to champions Cho’Gath and Corki in plays on real-world bands Jimmy Eat World and Deathcab for Cu
Standard ability distribution, Youmuu’s Ghostblade, and Duskblade of Draktharr are key for lethality, then Grasp of the Undying for incredible DPS in long fights and enhanced sustainability. Overgrowth is also important for getting stronger while you’re minion farm
Fnatic cleanly swept them 3-0 and won the 2018 Spring Split. The European fan-favorites would win again during the Summer 0f 2018, while G2 suffered an early exit from the Summer playoffs at the hands of Misfits in the quarterfinals. Despite the somewhat disappointing 2018 Spring and Summer Splits, G2 secured themselves a spot to compete in the 2018 World Champions
Not to be confused with Universal’s Dark Universe (which failed, incidentally), the MonsterVerse is essentially a modern interpretation of the aforementioned Toho franchise that saw Godzilla and an array of other monsters do battle, usually in a surprisingly flimsy urban landscape. The franchise began with 2014’s Godzilla reboot, and by purchasing the rights to various other Toho beasts, Warner Bros. signaled their intention to develop the lore of their MUTO world . However, the MonsterVerse only kicked off proper with Warner Bros.’ involvement in Kong: Skull Island , a reboot of the titular gorilla’s big screen st
The off season has matched the regular season in the lunacy department thus far. With the disappointing news of the Mid-Season Invitational’s cancellation , fans will have to wait until the Summer Split to see their favorite teams play again, and until Worlds to see any international competition. So how exactly have teams been shaping up to prepare for the next half of the season? Here’s a breakdown of the biggest roster moves to happen so
In perhaps one of the biggest esports news drops of the year, Team Liquid shockingly traded franchise cornerstone Doublelift to Team SoloMid after a ninth-place finish in the LCS. Doublelift will be replacing Kasper „Kobbe” Kobberup as the team’s starting AD carry through at least 2
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
