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
The recent meta has seen tank supports dominate the bot lane, such as Sett, Tahm Kench and Thresh. Throughout the 2020 Spring Split, the Dignitas support played a total of five champions; Thresh, Nautilus, Braum, Leona and Tahm Ke
Believe it or not, the Spring Split of the 2020 league of legends beginner Guide 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
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
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
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
Support: This role is to protect and support the ADC. If needed, this means taking hits and sacrificing their lives so the ADC can survive. Abilities focus more on crowd control like silences, stuns, slowing down the enemy. Their main mission is to support the t
Adding more about his mechanical skills, aphromoo said, “It’s important to have hands and God bless Johnsun, he’s got the hands. But other than that, he plays very well himself. I do think as a team-first, we all have to be on the same page and it’s a lot easier to see those patterns that happen in ga
Being the most experienced support in the LCS, aphromoo talked about the current bot lane meta and if Dignitas plans to shake up their picks at all. “Meta is important but once you finally start meshing as a team, you’re able to branch out. So, we’ll definitely be branching out a bit more, I would s
Ability Resources : Depending on the champion, this could be energy, fury, or mana. Mana is indicated by the blue bar and slowly fills back up over time. Energy is the yellow bar (recharges faster than mana but max value cannot be increa
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
