The smoke has cleared from the League of Legends Mid-Season Cup, project k which saw China’s top talent square off against Korea’s finest in place of the canceled MSI. After a tournament full of mechanical outplays and some head-scratching throws, the LPL’s Top Esports were the final team standing, besting the reigning World champions FunPlus Phoenix 3-1 in the Mid-Season Cup fin
This build sets you up to evaporate your foes with great timing and a one-shot ultimate. The key to this build is to obliterate foes with that one hit or you’re going to die quickly when they recover. Dark Harvest, Cheap Shot, and Coup De Grace help with the one-shot, and Ravenous Hunter helps you stay alive until you can use
G2 Esports won yet another European title, and they did it after the role swap of Rasmus “Caps” Winther and Luka “Perkz” Perković. Lo and behold, the duo will be swapping roles again for the 2020 Summer Sp
DAMWON Gaming showed flashes of brilliance, but their overconfidence and questionable draft choices, such as support Cho “BeryL” Geon-hee playing Karma time and time again despite being near useless on the champion, led to their ultimate downf
Although their situation may seem dire, Team Dignitas is in an okay position. Johnsun showed true potential as AD carry, and with veterans Henrik “Froggen” Hansen and Zaqueri “aphromoo” Black, Team Dignitas may be able sneak themselves into competition s
Invictus Gaming, despite their success in the regular season, looked absolutely lost, and couldn’t secure even a single win. On the Korean side of things, DragonX seemingly had a lead with three dragons every game, before choking in the late game almost every time. T1, barring Faker, struggled heavily and threw their leads away as w
The Lego Batman Movie came next, taking one of the most memorable characters from the original and going ‘full DC’ with a whole cast of superheroes. Despite lacking the same box office clout as its predecessor, Lego Batman earned much praise from audiences, and comic book fans were especially impressed by the lighter, heartfelt take on the Caped Crusader. Unfortunately, that waning box office was a sign of things to come for Warner Bros.’ Lego Cinematic Universe . The Lego Ninjago Movie followed shortly after Will Arnett’s Dark (Yellow) Knight spin-off, but to much less fanfare and considerably lower revenue, perhaps paying the price for a more niche Lego concept. A direct sequel to the original, 2019’s The Second Part , failed to reverse those fortunes and other planned projects were swiftly axed. More recently, the Lego company have shifted focus back to toys after their own dip in revenue and Warner Bros. lost the movie rights to Universal earlier this year. Turns out everything isn’t awesome after
There’s a lot to unpack from 2020’s first international tournament, from Korean champs T1 being eliminated in the group stage, to Kang “TheShy” Seung-lok’s concerning performances. But here are five of the biggest takeaways from the 2020 Mid-Season
This is more of an experimental build that really struggles in the early game, but can be very annoying for the enemy in the mid to late-game. In the beginning put points into Strut to really boost movement speed to avoid enemies while you hunt minions with last hit, at level seven-ish put a few points in Double Up, then at level 14 alternate between Make It Rain and Bullet T
G2 lost their first four games at MSI, ultimately coming in second to last place and missing the playoffs entirely. This was devastating not only to G2, but to Europe as a whole, as this placement meant that the region would miss out on a Pool 1 Seed at Worlds. In regards to their poor play, the organization hastily put out a statement halfway through day two of the event, explaining how the team had taken vacation time after a “rigorous Spring Split.” SKT would go on to win MSI, with Faker receiving
“If at first you don’t succeed, try, and try again.” Those were the words of Gamers2 for those two years as the organization struggled, split after split. Despite his team’s poor performances, Ocelote was set on his vision of building a winning team, and was willing to take the necessary risks to do so. On June 2nd, 2015 , the young owner took a chance on sixteen-year-old Luka “PerkZ” Perković to be the team’s mid laner of the future, replacing Jérémy “Eika” Valdena
Even though the Lego universe ultimately did fail, the franchise at least dropped a couple of solid efforts before fading into cinematic obscurity. The same can’t be said for Warner Bros.’ planned King Arthur universe. Released in 2017 and starring Charlie Hunnam in the title role, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword certainly had promise as a standalone venture, with Guy Ritchie directing and Jude Law in a key villainous role. In reality, the movie was widely trashed in reviews and made a huge loss for Warner Bros. financially. All of which makes the studio’s plans for a six-film shared universe seem all the more ridicul
