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. Well, it turns out she was wrong, as the twenty-two-year-old jungler became the latest player to sign with Digni

After just recently sweeping Fnatic in the 2020 Spring Finals, G2 has now tied their rival for most European titles of all time. What Fnatic did in six years, G2 did in just over four. There is no doubt who the real kings of Europe are. But, the team's goals go past winning their region. G2 Esports want to win Wor

LeagueOfLegends_PrestigeSpiritBlossomZed-1024x576.jpgThe person impacted the most by the Doublelift trade may be none other than Kobbe. The 23-year-old left his home in Europe to play for TSM at the end of last year. After just one split with the team, where he arguably was one of the best bot laners in the League of Legends support guide, TSM replaced him with Doublel

In Evil Geniuses' first split back in the LCS, they made waves by signing high profile players in reigning MVP Dennis "Svenskeren" Johnsen, former Team Vitality mid-laner Daniele "Jiizuke" di Mauro and Bae "Bang" Jun-sik, who won two World Championships back when he was a part of SKT T1 in 2015 and 2016. The team also added former Cloud9 youngsters Tristan "Zeyzal" Stidam and Colin "Kumo" Zhao. Despite looking inconstant at times, EG finished the split in 3rd place, losing to Flyquest in the semi-fin

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

Adding more about his mechanical skills, aphromoo said, "It’s important to have hands and God bless Johnsun, he’s got the hands. But other than that, he plays very well himself. I do think as a team-first, we all have to be on the same page and it’s a lot easier to see those patterns that happen in ga

Finally, the pass also unlocks 20 milestone missions that reward various prizes including Prestige Points, League of Legends emotes, Little Legend eggs, and 2 Gemstones. Each mission requires 15 points from matches to compl

With a team composed of Wunder in the top lane, Jankos in the jungle, Caps in the mid lane and Perkz and Mikyx in the bot lane, G2 would find their old form. This roster, composed of faces both old and new, gelled together in a way that was previously unseen. Caps unlocked something, and the team started to win again. But this time, they weren't villains, they were her

Aphromoo also spoke about his individual goals as a player. "What’s most important for me and for my goals is to make sure I play well and focus on vision score. I know my vision score has been lacking in the past years. Since I’ve come to DIG, I think our coach, Invert, was one of the first coaches that definitely coached me on my vision control ever, so that was ni

The off season has matched the regular season in the lunacy department thus far. With the disappointing news of the Mid-Season Invitational's cancellation , fans will have to wait until the Summer Split to see their favorite teams play again, and until Worlds to see any international competition.

Formerly the mid laner of Berlin Internatioal Gaming of the Prime League Pro Division, Dirk "ZaZee" Mallner recently joined SK as the team's starting mid laner, switching Janik "Jenax" Bartels to the top lane. The team also brought in twenty-three-year-old Jesse "Jesiz" Le to be the team's new head coach, who actually played mid lane for SK back in November 2013 to October 2014. Still led by veteran jungler Kim "Trick" Gang-yun, SK hopes their 2020 summer will be vastly different from their 2020 spr

As mentioned, all champions begin at level 1 at the start of each match. Leveling in a game can provide perks like more HP, MP, movement speed and defense.

They will also drop gold that can be used to upgrade specific stats and unlock abilities. The max level players can reach in a single game is

It's possible he plays for TSM's Academy squad, although his skill level as a player is well above Academy. It's also possible he goes back to Europe to play in the LEC. Either way, the Denmark native is still young and his future in esports is still bri

G2's 2018 spring was inconsistent at best, but they managed to finish the split in 2nd place, behind Fnatic.
