The Best Player From Each Lane During Week 5 of the LCS

With Doublelift gone, Team Liquid have flipped their history book to a fresh, blank sheet, and they'll be turning to Edward "Tactical" Ra to help fill in the pages. Team Liquid had won four consecutive titles before Cloud9 won the 2020 Spring Finals, dominating North America for two straight ye


The goal is to start as a dueler and transition to mobile support in late-game. Grasp of Undying is a critical rune as it uses Tahm’s large health to further damage enemies and heal you by two percent of total health. Devour is mostly used to hurl minions at enemy champions between Tongue Lashi


Generally speaking, he’s a brutal jungler thanks to his ambush friendly abilities and can turn the tide of a team fight. If you’re looking to unleash this Ancient Evil on your opponents then here are some popular builds you should consi


This is a mid to late-game build that has Tahm Kench stepping in as a support when needed and acting as a one on one champion dueler when not needed. In the beginning of the game you’ll want to farm in Top Lane with most upgrades going to Tongue Lash and a few points spread across the other abilit


This one is built around using the Phase Rush rune to overcome Tahm’s greatest weakness, which is his slow movement speed. Upgrades are slightly skewed towards Tongue Lash in the beginning with Thick Skin reserved for level 13 and


In the early game things are much more difficult as you’re constantly darting out of shadows to poke or occasionally ambush enemies. Once you hit the endgame you become a team fight support brute who can turn the tide of bat


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


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


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


Believe it or not, the Spring Split of the 2020 League of Legends Beginner guide of Legends Championship Series is already past its halfway point, and teams and players are starting to see themselves separate from the rest of the pack. Cloud9 leads the way, extending their dominant streak and continuing their quest for the coveted 18-0 undefeated season. Flyquest, now in sole possession of 2nd place, impresses once again and they now sit comfortably behind Cloud9 at 7-3. TSM continues to flip-flop between strong and shaky weeks, but the Bjergsen-led squad rounds out the top three at 6-4. As they and the rest of the players fight it out on the rift to distinguish themselves and their teams, some performances stood out from the r


It's an unfortunate situation for Kobbe, who took a major risk leaving his home to play in North America. It's currently unknown where the AD carry will wind up. He would usually have no issue finding another team, but with COVID-19, organizations are low on funds, and bringing in new players is an extremely difficult task with travel restricitions in pl
