Following their disappointing 2019 Worlds performance, DWG returned to Summoners Rift with a revamped roster with their sights set on returning the Summoners Cup to Ko

SKT T1 finished the Summer Split in third place and still managed to qualify for Worlds due to their Spring performance. After overcoming their rivals, the Rox Tigers, in the semi-finals, SKT T1 went on to defeat Samsung Galaxy, securing their second consecutive World Championship title and third franchise ti

It's equally useful for when players need to retreat. Let's be real, it's impossible to win every fight, right? Majorly slowing enemy champions down so they can't give chase is wonderful, and some will even simply run away instead of continuing to put the pressure

Being able to completely shrug off a single powerful projectile-based ability can be the difference between a winning encounter and being crushed. Plus, putting Braum at the front of a fight can help to make tower pushes far easier in general if opponents are nearby with this abil

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

This effect cannot occur on the same target more than once every few seconds, but during this immunity period affected targets instead take 20% of the trigger damage as bonus magic damage from Braum 's basic attacks and Winter's B

In 2011, before there were Korean servers or multi-million dollar prize pools, Riot Games hosted the Season 1 World Championship during Dreamhack Summer in Sweden for a relatively small audience. The tournament finals pitted the European powerhouses Fnatic against aAa (against All authori

Although SKT T1 had beaten Royal Club in the 2013 Worlds finals, the renamed Star Horn Royal Club and their marksman, Uzi, were back with a vengeance.

Eschewing the aviator jacket for the raiment of a king's inner court, the costume's blues and golds quickly signify this Ezreal's aristocratic nature. Interestingly, the power gauntlet, rather than being ornate or bejeweled, is more mundane, as it appears similar to the armored gloves soldiers might wear— though the inconspicuous nature of Ezreal's weapon is surely an ace up his sle

It should be obvious, but competitive gamers often need to be reminded of one simple fact: being uncooperative and aggressive towards teammates is the quickest path to defeat. Remember that the team functions as a unit and that while teammates might be on different skill levels, that's not an excuse to be toxic towards th

The Teamfight Tactics Fates Championship will take place from April 7 to April 9, 2021, and will feature a new three-day Swiss format. While official times will be announced closer to the Championship, if the format follows any of the regional qualifiers for the game, then coverage will most likely begin around 6PM CT each day.

Braum propels ice from his shield in the target direction, dealing magic damage to the first enemy hit and slowing them by 70% decaying over 2 seconds.

Look at just how much enemies get slowed! Landing Winter's Bite can be the difference between a successful ambush on the enemy or an opponent getting away. It's an amazing way to force the opposing team to turn around and fight a questionable battle because their retreat has become likely impossi
