The League Championship Series has been around for a while, but Riot is creating a blossoming esports scene for its tactical shooter Valorant , and is in the middle of leading the charge with Teamfight Tactics ‘ professional play. Previously, Teamfight Tactics had its first Global Championship toward the tail end of the Galaxies Teamfight Tactics set last year. Sixteen-year-old French player KC Double61 became the very first Teamfight Tactics World Champion with a wild three-round
When I heard about Metafy , a venture-backed startup dedicated to matching video game players with top-caliber pros for coaching, I wanted to give it a try. For as little as $20 a session, I’d work with a professional player who could coach me in my game of choice, Apex Legends . The platform also hosts coaches for a variety of other games, including games with huge pro scenes like League of Legends as well as games with niche competitive communities like Civilization
The Teamfight Tactics Fates Championship will take place from April 7 to April 9, 2021, and will feature a new three-day Swiss format. While official times will be announced closer to the Championship, if the format follows any of the regional qualifiers for the game, then coverage will most likely begin around 6PM CT each day. Fans will be able to watch all the action unfold on the official Twitch for Riot Games, plus plenty of co-stre
By watching the regionals, players have been able to see a variety of team compositions and strategic playstyles being used. Whether competitors play champions like the Daredevil Samira , Divine Kayle, or The Boss Sett, there are plenty of combinations fans could see in the Championsh
To be clear, there have absolutely been some significant upgrades in the Dota series over the years to keep up with changing technology and to make a smoother experience. The MOBA has had some fairly large overhauls, but at its core, this game is surprisingly similar in style and tone to how it originally appea
Unless the melee champion has an ability that would allow them to close the gap, fighting Teemo is going to involve a lot of hurt. Sometimes, it’s best to push the lane and try not to let Teemo dominate. That can be an uphill battle, tho
With over 140 champions available, League of Legends players are bound to have some favorite and not-so-favorite champions. One champion that is frequently on the receiving end of a lot of ribbing is Teemo. Described as a usually jovial yordle, Teemo can be unsettling at best and downright terrifying at worst, as he is able to switch quickly between charming and deadly seri
Since each Championship will likely happen at the end of each set, the Teamfight Tactics esports scene is already able to differentiate itself from the League of Legends esports scene . After the success of the Galaxies Championship, Riot Games decided to invest more in the upcoming Fates Championship by increasing both the player pool and the prize offerings. The Fates Championship will feature 24 competitors hoping to win a piece of the $250,000 prize p
New Teemo players may be tempted to just throw out their Noxious Traps wherever possible, hoping to catch an enemy in its explosion. An experienced Teemo player, however, will strategically place the poisonous mushro
As a ranged character, Teemo is an easy counter to most melee champions. He is able to do a lot of poke damage out of range of the enemy’s attacks. As such, many Top Lane melee mains, such as Garen players, despise Teemo Top Lan
Nonetheless, this meme exists to showcase the brighter sides of it. It’s fairly unclear whether the humble warrior is giving the lane to this smurf, or if they’re grateful to be playing it despite the smurf player asking, but either way, it’s refreshing to see a positive exchange with someone making such bold claims about their skill le
This roster of IG is noteworthy for playing the game with a fight-first mentality aiding in coining the term “LPL Aggression” by analysts and casters. The ultimate caveat of Invictus Gaming winning this world atlas League title is that they had virtually no path of resistance past defeating tournament favorites, KT Rolster, in the quarterfin
Canadas went on to explain that I should think of the game in terms of a mathematical give-and-take system of points. He noted how I should continuously note damage dealt versus damage sustained, and this should impact my decisions to push or withd
One of the greatest traits of the mid lane is the diversity of champions it allows you to play with and against. There are some aggressive physical fighters, many ranged spellcasters, a few atypical tanks, and even some health-centric mages like Vladimir with the unique power to drain the health from his oppone
The honor system in League of Legends is certainly well-meaning, but hardly an effective deterrent from negative players. Voting for your favorite player gives hardly any benefit, and most players are likely to give honor to the player with the highest KDA ra
