Bjergsen is also known for being the first European player to become a start in North America. He scored the first pentakill ever in the EU LCS with his Syndra -- a champion he used to pick since before she was even seen as meta. His champion pool is as deep as the Marianas Trench and he put the entire team on his back many a t
He founded the Counter Logic Gaming team (more commonly known as CLG) -- a team that placed 5th in the Riot Season 1 Championship back when items like Leviathan still existed . The last time we saw George in action was in 2014; currently, he is a retired esports player who is focused on managing his t
Once considered the most well-known North American player, Yiliang "Peter" Peng played for CLG, TSM, and Team Liquid. Although he was primarily known for being amazing with Blitzcrank, Poppy, and Lee Sin, it was his bot lane performance that made him the amazing player he became. As an AD Carry, he was one of the best in his region, but certain things have always held him b
The rush of getting a kill in League of Legends is a tempting reason to rush past enemy towers and chase down an opponent. No matter how many kills a player gets, though, they are weighed down by the number of deaths they have endu
Because of his legendary skills, people used to say that the MiG on his tag didn't stand for the name of the team (Maximum Impact Game) but for Madlife is God. Unlike many esports athletes, he prefers to be called by his full name, Hong Min-gi, instead of by MadL
While Riot Games might be in hot water , there's no denying that their game, League of Legends , is enjoying more popularity than ever before. How many other games get eight million concurrent players a day? It's been a perfect game for those stuck at home due to the pandemic and as a result, many new players are trying out the g
If a group fight starts off with Glacial Fissure hitting most of the enemy team they can kiss their sorry butts goodbye. This is why this ability has a long casting time in general. Players need to be absolutely sure this move works but when it does, it can make engaging the enemy a bre
League of Legends is essentially a game of attrition, at its core. The goal is not to take on opponents head-on, but rather to collect resources, XP, and slowly but surely crawl ahead of the enemy team. Each champion in the team takes their place in one of three lanes (or the jungle) and collects XP and gold from fallen enemy mobs while taking out that lane's defensive tow
In the early season, Sunfire Aegis was by far the best tank mythic item. After several nerfs, the three tank items have become much closer in balance. Balanced stats means the items are evaluated based on their active abilities less than the raw numbers. For Turbo Chemtank, that active makes the i
Alternately, if you've never watched one of the introductory sections of a League of Legends Championship Series (LCS), you've missed out on some incredible shows. These events absolutely cater more to the fans of the game with some featuring live music concerts with stars around the World atlas league like (G)I-DLE and Madison Beer to introduce the final games of the official competitive sea
Braum raises his shield in the target direction, creating a barrier that intercepts incoming non-turret enemy projectiles and reduces the damage he takes through the shield. The first instance of damage blocked by his shield is negated comple
Andy Dinh is an esports player who managed to get the first Pentakill in competitive play with his Gragas. As a player and a coach, Reginald is known for his temper which eventually led to him being nicknamed Ragein
As great as these events are though, League of Legends has done an incredible job of creating a consistent show with its LCS to create constant content for League players to watch. The production quality on this game's tournaments has always been through the roof and is incredibly addictive to keep up with if you know what's going
Perhaps the greatest advantage of League of Legend's map is from an update just a few short years ago. The dragon objective near the bottom lane of the map could shift between four elements. Each of these would give different random buffs to add more variance to each match. But even cooler was the shift to the environment based on the second dragon sl
When the enemy team is knocking out teammates left and right, it's always a safer bet to stay out of the way than to feed their killstreak. It might not be the most exciting option, but it's always better to stay alive than to give the enemy the k
Pings are the best way to warn teammates of both threats and opportunities. When a champion disappears into the fog of war, or when a group of enemies suddenly shows up near a vision ward, ping that location to alert allies that something is am
This player is mostly known for one of the most famous plays in League history. He managed to backdoor a nexus with his Kassadin during a thrilling 1v2 situation. Since then, because the LCS picture-in-picture camera would many times show split pushes and backdoors, it started being called "the Peke C
