From level 10 and up, we mainly want to level up our W ability, but overall, this will depend on your playstyle, so other points can be shifted elsewhere, though E is not necessary unless you are looking for a different style of p

The Philippine squad first turned heads at ESL One Hamburg with their barely scathed record of only one lost match. Subsequently, TNC won the tournament in October and took home $125 thousand because of their dominant Earthshaker and Morphling hero combination. Highlighting the superiority of meta cycling, TNC proved to be more than just a regular south-east Asian t

Finally, a win is worth a whopping 12 points. Remember that the top 10/5/3 finishes do not stack, so the maximum you can possibly earn in a single match is 17 RP (12 RP for winning the match and 5 RP for your first 5 kills). If you get three kills and finish in the top three you will earn 10 RP. If you can do this consistently, then you've got a decent shot at making it to Apex Preda

Mortal Kombat 11 's free in-game event begins on October 25, bringing four new Halloween-themed boss fights to the game which include flying witches and bats, falling pumpkins, black cats, and tombstones rising from the ground. To top off the fun, the event also adds new brutalities, Halloween consumables, and other in-game rewards to e

Refillable Potion too is a solid choice if you want to be more cost-effective, as it allows you to save gold for more important purchases later. This Regenerates 5.21 health every half second for a total of 12 seconds to restore a total of 125 health and holds two charges that refill at the st

It’s unclear whether universal control over games that operate under the catch-all domain of esports will ever exist. Escalating conflict between streaming platforms that compete for viewer attention certainly isn’t helping the case for unified growth. It’s also worth questioning whether universal control is even needed. Larger titles seem to be doing just fine supporting their own leagues. A 16-year-old just took home $3 million at the first-ever _ Fortnite _ World Cup, after

Thankfully, it is not possible to be demoted to a lower tier. Respawn has assured us that dipping below 480 RP, for example, will not drop you out of Diamond; once you have reached a new tier you are effectively at a new rank floor and are guaranteed to receive the season rewards for that tier. This may change in the future, but is a nice assurance for

Most video games incorporate some sort of equipment system, and league of legends Adc of Legends is no exceptions. Players will find various choices for purchasing swords, boots, armor, ranged weapons, shields, and helmets. There are even items that don’t fall into any of these categories. Their use is a bit more confus

Since Kennen has poor sustainability in lanes, Taste of Blood (heal when you damage an enemy champion) and Ravenous Hunter (unique takedowns grant permanent healing from ability damage) offset this weakn

With studios scrambling to keep up with light-speed growth, a reactive wait-and-see attitude seems like the industry-wide solution."I think it has all the tools to really go the distance and become something powerful," says Peter Guber, CEO of Mandalay Entertainment, to CNBC about the future of esports. This roughly translates to, "it looks cool, but no ones's really thought about it too hard yet." Until it becomes something more powerful, you can find me playing games instead of watching t

Season 2 of Apex Legends is here and with it comes a brand new ranked mode called Ranked Leagues. In Ranked Leagues, you gain points for your success, earn new and better titles as you progress, and once and for all show your squad mates who is the real al

Unlike some Champions, Kennen uses energy instead of mana. Knowing how to use your abilities to manage energy is vital. For example, it's important to know how the passive for Mark of the Storm refunds 25 energy when it procs and how damaging an enemy with Lightning Rush restores 40 ene

At the end of the day, esports is still relatively new. In the current state of things, most games are simply not worth watching. However, that may change. The most popular games will likely develop more polished ways of conducting business, acting as their own miniature industries. As a result, better coverage for games will take some time to arrive, with bigger titles leading the

It’s more than a semantic concern, however. Unlike traditional sports, it’s nearly impossible to tune in to games that you don’t play personally. For instance, I’ve never been into Overwatch , and although I understand how the gameplay works, Overwatch League is completely unenjoyable to watch. You can’t appreciate the level of difficulty that certain moves take to execute unless you’ve attempted them yourself. This rule is almost universally applied across all of esports. Unlike traditional sports, where pure athleticism can be appreciated void of any tactical or technical knowledge, esports requires a higher degree of familiarity. At best, this means that viewership rarely crosses between games. At worst, this means esports isn't viewer-friendly and may never have what it takes to reach wider audien
