After being deemed worthy by the Arbiter, Tyari becomes "The Traveler," and is the first confirmed transgender character within the League of Legend s canon, no longer using he/him pronouns. Like Cithria, this story serves to inspire and is very satisfying when learning of its conclusion. Tyari has traveled far to become the person she always knew that she

Best of luck to everyone and keep an eye out for players who may be overextending themselves with these new changes, as they likely have not read the notes and are ripe for Angry Beavers characters a quick kill until they figure it

In the background, players can see Tyari fitting the necklace around his neck and an unnamed climber who seems to be the only one not wearing a necklace at all. The other two climbers are named in the flavor text. Halley is a Noxian woman looking to prove herself to her people by climbing Targon, and Emir is an optimistic Demacian who wants to prove he’s capable of something amazing. As of the beginning of the journey, there are four people attempting the cl

OG has made numerous headlines recently with their roster changes, so much that it makes fans fear for the future of its adored Dota 2 team. With Anathan "Ana" Pham taking an extended break and Jesse "JerAx" Vainikka retiring from the professional scene, it makes people wonder what's going to happen to OG. But with OG Seed and OG CS: GO being newly introduced, this could mean a new chapter for the esteemed organizat

The next time Cithria makes an appearance is in the card art for "Vanguard Squire." Here, Cithria is shown to have become a faceless soldier within the Demacian army. Her voice lines and flavor text indicate that she is still just a humble soldier trying to do her part in any way she can. That is until her final appearance in the card "Cithria the Bo

So far, there does not seem to be much of a change in which items players prioritize in game, however the price difference has meant that matches see a longer delay before they can be purchased, or they are forgone entirely in favor of saving up for another, more expensive item a little earlier. Overall, the price changes seem healthy as before it was too simple to stock up on key items too quic

In his first split as a part of Gen.G, BDD was one of the best performing mid laners in the LCK, with a 6.2 KDA (kill/death/assist) ratio, which was good for second in the LCK Summer Split, behind only DAMWON’s Heo "ShowMaker" Su. Although many consider bot laner Park "Ruler" Jae-hyuk to be the main carry of the team, BDD brings a ton of talent and leadership to the team, making them one of the favorites from Korea to win the entire ev

Patch 7.26a has now been live in Dota 2 for a few days and we can finally discuss how the most recent changes are affecting players in both casual and competitive games.

JerAx said to OG, " I have no willingness nor passion to play Dota 2 anymore, and I have trouble fitting myself into my competitor’s shoes." Which means just like Ana, JerAx also continues to face the underlying problem that is having to face the same challenge you've already completed. By the look of things, the issue isn't that they don't have the skills to play, it's that they don't have passion. It's unknown if whether the rest of OG's Dota 2 team feels the same, but if they do, this could mean the end for OG's competitive reign in Dota

Garen's third active, Judgement, will cause Garen to spin quickly and swing his blade in a circle for a few seconds while dealing damage to those who are hit by the spinning blade. Initially, Garen will spin his blade 7 times over 3 seconds, but the number of spins will increase by 1 for every bonus 25% attack speed Garen gets from items or just leveling up. Enemies hit by 6 or more spins will lose 25% of their armor for more than a few seconds. If you try to activate Judgement again while it's being performed, you can stop it early which may be useful if you need to quickly use another ability and can't wait for Judgement to
