I left the session feeling overall positive and quickly signed up for another session. For our second lesson, Canadas ran down my in-game graphic settings with me. He recommended turning some of the game’s graphic enhancements down, noting that things like V-Sync can cause delays that are mere miliseconds, but are enough to impact gamep

Before I signed up for the session, I wanted to understand Metafy from a coach’s perspective. I spoke with Perry "KnowKami" Vinson , a partnered Twitch streamer , YouTuber and top-level Dragon Ball FighterZ player. Vinson said he joined the site after seeing other players tweet that they’d started coaching on Met

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

New Teemo players may be tempted to just throw out their Noxious Traps wherever possible, hoping to catch an enemy in its explosion. An experienced Teemo player, however, will strategically place the poisonous mushro

For instance, Doublelift is known for constantly trash-talking his opponents. He even has his own catchphrase: "everyone else is trash" which made him very entertaining for fans of the esport. Many were sad to see him separated from his long-time bot-lane partner Zaqueri "ahpromoo" Black. He remains an active player for Team Dignitas (DIG). As of March 9, 2021, Doublelift did "rejoin" TSM as a streamer, but (so far) he has no indicated that he will compete ag

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

League of Legends professionals are mostly very young and many don't stick with esports as competitive players for too long. Generally speaking, these players retire in their mid to late 20s and take alternative career paths within their niche. Many become coaches, team owners, streamers, commentators, or something similar. Just look at Phreak, Kobe, Saintvicious, Jatt, and many others for evide

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

This is the number one rule of playing as Braum — always be stacking Concussive Blows. Once the first hit is landed, make sure to get allies to add on with some basic attacks of their own. It's far easier to take down everything from dragons to enemy champions if they're stun

Draven throws his axes in a line in the target direction, dealing physical damage to all enemies hit, knocking them aside and slowing them for 2 seconds.

It's important to note that Stand Aside has a bit of a cast time, so players will need to make sure they use this ability proactively and not reactively. This ability also acts as a knockup that other champions can capitalize off of nic

Although he started playing League of Legends during its beta stages, he did not stick for long as a pro player. At first, ocelote became a star when he was playing for SK Gaming, but eventually founded his team: Gamers2. He was banned twice throughout his career because of his toxic behavior during games (a long-running issue in the LoL community). With time, Carlos has taken steps to change his behav

It's important to remember that, despite League of Legends Currency changes of Draven and the other bonuses for doing so, it's okay to drop axes. In fact, sometimes experienced Draven players should. The enemy team can see where the axe should fly to return to Draven and may possibly decide to aim their skill shots in that direction. It can be a great way to make them miss by simply letting an axe drop as b

Once a fresh-faced, eager mid laner for TSM, Søren "Bjergsen" Bjerg was declared one of the best mid laners among those who played in the NA LCS. He was the second player to move from the EU LCS to the NA LCS. Over the course of his career, he won six LCS titles and participated in five world championships with the same t

Whether it's his seemingly pure desire for exploration or petulant disregard for rules or others in the pursuit of adventure, there is almost something childlike about Ezreal's propensity for travel. Posing with the affectation of an outlaw, @leoontimboo channels this aspect of Ezreal's personality and brings it to life through his cosp

Paying homage to the genre of Magical Girls, the "Star Guardian" line of skins reimagine champions in a scenario reminiscent of Sailor Moon . As an adventurer and explorer, Ezreal is at home within this thematic context, and cosplayer @pixelcosplay represents this iteration of the champion with stunning precis
