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
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
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
Dignitas went through even more inconsistency in the following Spring Split, benching their new jungler Jonathan “Grig” Armao in favor of Matthew “Akaadian” Higginbotham. After missing out on playoffs, Dignitas dropped Grig and acquired jungler Joshua “Dardoch” Hartnett and top laner Omran “V1per” Sho
Flyquest has outperformed all exceptions this split, in large part due to their 22 year old German mid laner. Along with having the coolest name in the LCS, PowerOfEvil has led his team to four victories in a row. During week 5 he flexed his expansive champion pool, playing Orianna against Golden Guardians and Corki against Counter Logic Gaming, both firsts for him this split. PowerOfEvil was also the first player in the world to win a game as Corki this year. Immortals’ Eika and DAMWON Gaming’s ShowMaker in Korea were the only other players to use Corki, both losing their games on t he daring bombardier . As Flyquest looks to finish out the season strong, they will lean on PowerOfEvil to be a dominant force in the mid l
2019 marked the league’s rebrand from the EU LCS to the LEC, the League of Legends European Championship. In their fourth year in the league, G2 would drop the bombshell of the decade by signing former Fnatic mid laner Rasmus “Caps” Borregaar, and moving Perkz to the AD carry position.

Season 10 of the ranked ladder in League of Legends is well underway and millions of players from around the world have started their climb. With data coming in from various online sources, like Mobalytics and OP.GG , several characters are starting to stand out as viable solo queue champi
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
The reason why Rumble is viable in season 10 in the mid lane is that many of the popular picks do not have a strong pushing potential. When this champion is played, the goal is to push the lane and then influence the top lane or bottom l
“No one wants to pick up Dardoch, 2Xko roster that’s not my fault.” In what was perhaps the most talked-about news in League 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.

League of Legends ’ latest champion took the top lane by storm. His versatility was praised by many players and in professional leagues from around the world, it’s expected for him to be close to 100% picked or ban
In the beginning, you’re largely avoiding fights or you’re helping another teammate take down enemies faster. In the end, when you’re skills are up and you have items like Bloodthirster and Black Cleaver, you’re relying on massive DPS from Make It Rain and your ultimate to keep health topped
This is a fun build that works surprisingly well on standard matches, but will likely struggle in ranked matches. Your goal, in the beginning, is to farm minions before pushing hard in the mid-game. The end-game is where you’ll sh
