In 2020, DAMWON Gaming might have solidified themselves as the most synergized, "complete" roster to have ever competed in a World Championship. 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

This top lane-loving crocodilian out of Egyptian myth is a water creature by nature. So when Riot Games debuted his Pool Party skin, fans were naturally ecstatic. But no one knew just how iconic the lifeguard skin would prove to

Samsung Galaxy's finals set against SKT T1 in 2017 was simply amazing. SKT T1 was going for a three-peat and their fourth Worlds title, trying to take home their second consecutive title after an incredible run in 2016. The roster of Huni, Peanut/Blank, Faker, Bang, and Wolf faced off against CuVee, Ambition/Haru, Crown, Ruler, and Cor

I selected a timeslot based on Canadas’s availability. The platform allows players to send their prospective coaches a message, so I included a note explaining that I have more than 1800 hours in the game but continue to struggle to keep up with my friends, particularly after switching from Xbox to PC roughly a year ago. He promptly accepted my appointment t

This iteration of SKT T1 had an absolutely astounding Worlds run by going undefeated in the group stage. In fact, they only dropped two games in the entire tournament. To this day, no other team has won more than one World Championship title -- let alone th

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

This item was meant as a support tool but was partially removed because nearly every tank champion in any role could get an absurd amount of money from it. It even used to build into popular tank items like the Locket of the Iron Solari and Randuin's Omen, making it a must-have for nearly any l

Ahh yes, the dark days of League of Legends when Dominion was still a thing. This epically cool skin for the anchor wielder released the same year as Pool Party Renekton (2012). It featured some of the most surprising traits of skins to that po

Both rosters were absolutely fierce with SKT T1 coming off eliminating some very tough opponents in the Quarter and Semi-Finals. On the other side, Samsung Galaxy had won their previous sets in a dominating fashion. In the Finals, Samsung Galaxy would go on to sweep defending champions SK Telecom T1, dethroning the most iconic franchise in League of Legends hist

This is much because the game has built off a long legacy of Warcraft and its own roots as an original game. Any new cosmetic elements tend to fit the game's aesthetic smoothly and easily with few different styles clashing in most ga

This one just has so much panache and detail work to it. And no one can deny the romantic idea behind a cowboy samurai. His animations are also just really smooth; plus, his sword becomes a gun. Know what's cooler than a sword? A gun-sword. At least, that's what Squall Leonhart would have people beli

FunPlus Phoenix completely overhauled their roster going into the 2019 season by adding Doinb and Tian to the team. The new roster consisted of GimGoon, Tian, Lolgo.cc Doinb, LWX, and Crisp who absolutely dominated the LPL in their first year together as a team. Going into 2019 Worlds, FunPlus Pheonix had a relatively shaky group stage performance putting up a 4 - 2 rec

Unfortunately, its boosts to the user itself are so minimal that it ended up being mostly useless. The buff wasn't anywhere near enough to justify its cost compared to boosting the user more with a powerful Armor or Health item. It simply faded off in an update with few players likely notic

This early piece of clothing granted up to 20 health stacks based on your kills and assist., At 20 stacks, your champion would take 15% less damage. This was potentially quite powerful, but tanks tend to die a lot since their job is to take hits for fragile teammates, making this an awkward and forgettable opt

Fnatic and their roster consisting of xPeke, Cyanide, Shushei, LamiaZealot, and Mellisan got off to a rocky start. They narrowly made it out of group stages. But the team went on to perform an incredible miracle run by defeating CLG and EPIK Gamer. They eventually defeated aAa in the finals. Unfortunately, this Worlds was not incredibly memorable due to the lack of a defined meta, player storylines, and the relative newness of the game as it had only launched in 2

Further sessions included more gameplay reviews and recaps. He pointed out where I could have played differently and stressed the importance of communication, noting that even pro teams sometimes have breakdowns in communication that can cost them the game. In one session, we talked about being an effective jumpmaster. He reconciled two competing things I’d been told about dropping as efficiently as possible, suggesting there were certain scenarios where each might be applica
