The next League of Legends event is finally arriving after Pulsefire 2020 previously ended over a month ago. From July 22nd to August 24th, Spirit Blossom 2020 is a summer celebration that brings back missions, prizes, and the Nexus Blitz MOBA game guide mode for participating play

"I think something as simple as stretching and doing something that’s not waking up, sitting in your chair, and going straight into scrims is really helpful. It just helps your mindset a lot," added Stix

The best individual laner in the world, Chovy takes any and every opponent to his lane kingdom. He averages 13.5 CS over enemy mid laners at 15 minutes, the highest amongst all qualified mid laners. DRX depends on Chovy, sometimes overly so, to dominate the lane early in order to gain advantages on other parts of the map. Luckily, he delivers. Chovy single-handedly carried an inconsistent and underperforming DRX roster to the LCK finals and, subsequently, Worlds qualification. May the church of Chovy bless the r

Spirit Blossom 2020 centers around the Ionian Spirit Blossom skins which are canon in League of Legends' lore. After a brief tease during this year's Anime Expo Lite stream, the skins were slowly revealed and culminated with a teaser video last week previewing Spirit Blossom's themes. While veteran players should be familiar with the reward structure, there are several different elements compared to past eve

If players need more tokens to purchase items, they can buy the Spirit Blossom Pass for 1650 RP. Purchasing the pass will automatically add 4 Kanmei Orbs and 200 Spirit Blossom Tokens. However they also get 25 tokens for each Spirit Bond rank for a total of 1000 extra Spirit Blossom Tokens. Finally, the pass also unlocks Milestone rewards and tokens for every match played during the ev

While the complexity of Spirit Blossom 2020 may be initially confusing, Spirit Bonds are just slightly renamed missions with a similar progression system. And there seems to be more to this Ionian festival and summer event than described so far, as several Spirit Blossom skins are releasing at a later date along with Yone, the presumed masked man from the teas

The talented Vietnam native has been one of many shining stars for the young Suning team. Together with Xiang "Angel" Tao, SofM comprises half of a strong mid-jungle duo, which helped lead to Suning grabbing China’s third spot at Worlds. With over 60% win percentages on Trundle, Lee Sin, Graves as well as Jarven IV, SofM easily lands among the top junglers in the wo

Still a part of CLG in 2020, Stixxay and his teammates finished dead last in the Spring Split, four games behind ninth-place Team Liquid. However, the team has gotten off to a 3-1 start in summer, already matching their win total from spr

In the returning Nexus Blitz game mode, there are bonus tasks for one specific Spirit Blossom champion during a random event that occurs every few minutes. Note that each one awards 3 favor upon completion for that champ

Mad Lions are in first place, but they've lost to G2 Esports. G2 may have beaten Mad Lions, but they've lost to Origen, SK Gaming and Vitality. Origen may have beaten G2, but they lost to Mad Lions, Misfits and SK. Misfits may have beaten Origen, but they've lost to Fnatic, Rouge and SK. Fnatic may have beaten Misfits, but they've lost to G2, Mad Lions, Origen and Rouge. Rouge may have beaten Fnatic, but they've lost to G2 and Mad Li

He also lacks a key thing many currently popular junglers have: smite/ability steal capabilities. With the increasing importance Riot places on Dragon and Rift Herald, a jungler with no real way to cause or prevent enemy team objective theft has no place on the R

The champion who is often associated with "200 years" has been facing some adversity as of late. As one of the most heavily contested champions in the meta currently, Apehlios has gone 2-6 in its last 8 games in the

Instead of traditional missions, 10 Spirit Bonds will be forged during Spirit Blossom 2020. To start, players need to click on each champion's picture to meet them and begin earning favor, the point system for different rewards. Make sure to talk to all the available portraits immediately since favor won't count for champions that haven't been spoken

Stixxay talked about some of what he learned from his past bot lane partners. Speaking of aphromoo, who was his first-ever support in the LCS, Stixxay praised him for being a "personable" leader. "If I was in distress or I felt like I didn’t know what was going on with the team, he was always the guy that I’d message late at night and be like, ‘Yo, can you help me work through this because I just don’t know what’s going

Kanavi may be the best jungler the LPL has ever sent to the World Championship. The Korean import fully embodies the patented LPL aggression with his champion pool (Lee Sin, Nidalee, Graves) and mechanics. He consistently finds advantages against enemy junglers through optimal pathing, counter-jungling, and ganking. He seems to know exactly when to start fights and how to set up his team for success. He spent the year outplaying some of the best junglers in the world, like Tian and Karsa, and he looks to do the same at Wor
