Being the most experienced support in the LCS, aphromoo talked about the current bot lane meta and if Dignitas plans to shake up their picks at all. “Meta is important but once you finally start meshing as a team, you’re able to branch out. So, we’ll definitely be branching out a bit more, I would s
When asked if solo queue still can help players improve mechanically, the support responded, “Yeah, of course. But once you get to the team-macro, see you later, bro,” he said with a laugh. “It’s out the window, so you literally just do whatever you can pretty mu
If you’re a fan of League of Legends , you likely either love or hate these odd little furballs. These lovable little scamps follow you around on the Howling Abyss map and make furry window dressing in advertisements and spino
The lone player that team retained on their starting roster was Heo “Huni” Seung-hoon, who signed a massive contract extension with Dignitas for $2.3 million . Just one split after signing the deal, Huni and Dignitas parted ways and the top laner left to join Evil Geniu
Top Esports mid laner Zhuo “knight” Ding’s performance in the Mid-Season Cup was nothing short of brilliant. The twenty-year-old on Corki, despite losing both games on the champion, popped off, even winning teamfights single handedly to turn the tides of the games. Knight was able to get his hands on Syndra twice, before the champion, for all intents and purposes, became a perma-ban for his opposition due to his unrivaled skill on the Dark Sovere
The smoke has cleared from the league Of legends runes of Legends Mid-Season Cup, 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
Ssumday also had a solid game during 100 Thieves’ first game of the week against TSM, but couldn’t manage to get the win alongside his struggling teammates. During week 5, Ssumday led all top laners in KDA (kill/death/assist ratio) with 6, while also managing to get a whopping 3 solo kills, cementing himself as one of the week’s best players. Currently sitting in 6th place at 4-6, 100 Thieves will continue to count on Ssumday to be their driving force for the remaining half of the sea
With the season just halfway through, it can be argued that all five Cloud9 members are worthy of winning the Spring Split MVP. Each of them are dominating in their own way, but perhaps none are more deserving than Zven. Playing excellent both mechanically and mentally, Zven along with his support Vulcan have dominated the bot lane this season, and week 5 was no different. Zven played an excellent Varus against CLG, who Cloud9 unsurprisingly beat. What was surprising, however, was Cloud9’s choice of bot lane in their second game against Immortals. Zven actually played “support” Senna, while Vulcan went Tahm Kench, acting as the “carry.” This is a strategy similar to what Dignitas Academy employed in their matchup against Golden Guardians Academy, where AD carry Fenix went Senna and support Olleh went Galio. Fenix “supported” Olleh as he farmed with Ga
Although Top Esports looked phenomenal this tournament, they were about the only ones who did. Both LPL and LCK teams were no strangers to mid-game throws, literally throwing away their advantages and losing games because of
FunPlus Phoenix, although still one of the most dangerous teams in the world, still have issues they need to iron out. They constantly make poor decisions, and their in-your-face, aggressive play backfired against teams who were ready for
Dignitas went through even more inconsistency in the following Spring Split, benching their new jungler Jonathan “Grig” Armao in favor of Matthew “Akaadian” Higginbotham. After missing out on playoffs, Dignitas dropped Grig and acquired jungler Joshua “Dardoch” Hartnett and top laner Omran “V1per” Sho
The Coronavirus, or at least the new strand of the virus referred to as the Wuhan Coronavirus, has been affecting mainland China for months now. Since it’s first reported case on December 1st, 2019, the virus has heavily affected everyday life in China as well as imports and exports coming in and out of the coun
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
This strategy works because of a mechanic with Senna, where killing minions has a chance of dropping souls, which Senna can collect, granting her bonus attack damage. So Senna actually doesn’t need the gold from CS to get stronger, she can just collect the souls that drop as her laning partner farms. Although DIG Academy lost with this strategy, Zven collected enough souls early game to the point where Immortals couldn’t handle his damage output, and Cloud9 was able to take the win. Zven and Vulcan will look to continue their domination for Cloud9 in the second half of the spring sp
