How G2 Took Over the LEC

The 2020 League Of Legends Ranked Guide of Legends Spring Split has come and gone. Cloud9 won North America, G2 Esports won Europe's title, T1 took home the LCK Championship and JD Gaming won the honors in China's LPL. The split was a wild ride for fans and teams across the globe, from Konstantinos-Napoleon "FORG1VEN" Tzortziou controversially stepping down from FC Schalke 04 to Team Liquid benching Yiliang "Doublelift" Peng , to COVID-19 throwing a giant wrench into it


Ssumday also had a solid game during 100 Thieves' first game of the week against TSM, but couldn't manage to get the win alongside his struggling teammates. During week 5, Ssumday led all top laners in KDA (kill/death/assist ratio) with 6, while also managing to get a whopping 3 solo kills, cementing himself as one of the week's best players. Currently sitting in 6th place at 4-6, 100 Thieves will continue to count on Ssumday to be their driving force for the remaining half of the sea


Flyquest has outperformed all exceptions this split, in large part due to their 22 year old German mid laner. Along with having the coolest name in the LCS, PowerOfEvil has led his team to four victories in a row. During week 5 he flexed his expansive champion pool, playing Orianna against Golden Guardians and Corki against Counter Logic Gaming, both firsts for him this split. PowerOfEvil was also the first player in the world to win a game as Corki this year. Immortals' Eika and DAMWON Gaming's ShowMaker in Korea were the only other players to use Corki, both losing their games on t he daring bombardier . As Flyquest looks to finish out the season strong, they will lean on PowerOfEvil to be a dominant force in the mid l


For abilities you want to start with Double Up, then about level eight switch to Strut and at level 14 focus on Make It Rain. You’ll spend most of your time accompanying a tank and providing brutal DPS while they keep the enemy b


Miss Fortune has been with League of Legends for ten years now and she remains very popular. She doesn’t fit a particular role, but her generalist nature and powerful ultimate allow her to step in where needed and provide some serious firepower, especially in team fig


This is a fun build that works surprisingly well on standard matches, but will likely struggle in ranked matches. Your goal, in the beginning, is to farm minions before pushing hard in the mid-game. The end-game is where you’ll sh


This offseason has definitely had its fun and crazy moments, but fans are ready to watch their teams get back to the action. With the Summer Split set to kick-0ff mid June, League of Legends fans will have to wait on the edge of their seats until t


G2's first game in the LCS was on January 14th, 2016. Following the departure of SmittyJ and Jesse, G2 added Kim "Trick" Gang-yun and Kim "Emperor" Jin-hyun to play in the jungle and bottom lane. Still led by Kikis and Perkz (although no longer with a capital "z"), the fresh young team faced off against Elements and former Gamers2 mid laner Eika, in their first LCS g


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


This build sets you up to evaporate your foes with great timing and a one-shot ultimate. The key to this build is to obliterate foes with that one hit or you’re going to die quickly when they recover. Dark Harvest, Cheap Shot, and Coup De Grace help with the one-shot, and Ravenous Hunter helps you stay alive until you can use


The rest of the 2016 Spring Split was no different for G2, going 15-3, dropping games only to H2k, Vitality and Fnatic. They finished the split in 1st place, and would soon defeat Fnatic in the semi-finals and Origen in the finals to capture the organization's first title in their first-ever sp


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


TSM has now won six out of their last eight games, finding their way to 3rd place in the LCS Spring standings. Dardoch has been a major part of this surge, playing Lee Sin both games this past weekend against 100 Thieves and Evil Geniuses, winning both handily. One of the main jobs of a jungler is to secure neutral objectives, such as baron and dragon, as these give buffs that increase the stats of the players, helping them win fights. During week 5, TSM gave up 6 dragons, taking just 3 for themselves. This was done intentionally, however, as they decided to exchange early game dragons for objectives elsewhere on the map, such as map pressure and turrets. Early game dragons were weakened this past off season, and making these trade-offs helped TSM get early advantages. In doing so, this enabled Dardoch to secure baron buffs, an arguably more important late game objective. He managed to secure his team 100% of the barons taken this past weekend, which led to TSM winning both games. In terms of personal stats, Dardoch led junglers with a 14 KDA this week, dying just once. TSM will look to Dardoch to be a strength in the jungle, as they chase Flyquest in the standi
