How G2 Took Over The LEC

Just two weeks into the LCS, fans have been able to watch aphromoo play four different supports in four games. The veteran has so far played Leona, Lulu, Bard and Thresh. Despite Dignitas' ugly 0-4 start to the split, aphromoo alongside his AD carry Johnsun "Johnsun" Nguyen have performed well in the bot l


Similar to the Animal Crossing: New Horizons delay, the PS5 and Xbox Series X are both manufactured in China, and with a lot of manufacturing grinding to a halt, this could effect the availability of the systems when they launch later this year. The extent of what these manufacturing delays might mean is still yet to be seen, as neither Sony nor Microsoft has come out to address any delays they may be currently suffering from. As a result, this might be a similar situation to the launch of the Nintendo Switch, which saw consoles flying off the shelf faster than the company could hope to stock t


After 2019, Dignitas made major changes to the roster that competed in Worlds under the Clutch Gaming brand. The organization shook up their entire five man roster, making changes at nearly every position. One of those changes was famously the young, talented support Philippe "Vulcan" Laflamme. who was bought out by Cloud9 for a whopping $1.75 million . He went on to win the Spring Split with his new team and now looks like the clear best at his position in North Amer


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


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


This is more of an experimental build that really struggles in the early game, but can be very annoying for the enemy in the mid to late-game. In the beginning put points into Strut to really boost movement speed to avoid enemies while you hunt minions with last hit, at level seven-ish put a few points in Double Up, then at level 14 alternate between Make It Rain and Bullet T


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


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


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


It's no secret just how many issues have seemed to plague Dignitas since their return to the LCS. Now with the team's 0-4 start to the Summer Split, they'll look to their veteran support to help dig themselves out of the hole they've been stuck


This strategy works because League of Legends Tips 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
