The Best Player From Each Lane During Week 5 of the LCS

G2 Esports once again was the team to beat during 2016 summer, rounding out the split in 1st place. The team would go on to win the summer playoffs and capture their second title in as many seasons. Swiping Origen’s bot lane from under their noses and stealing Europe’s limelight away from Fnatic, combined with the team’s unforgiving dominance and MSI controversy, in less than a year, G2 Esports quickly became the villains of Eur

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, leagueoflegendsportal.com 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

A defeated Rammus seems to replace the iconic Koopa Troopas as Teemo jumps to hit a block and produce a mushroom. This is great since Teemo’s ultimate ability is to plant these mushrooms to everyone’s demise. Assuming this mushroom impacts Teemo as it does Mario, this should lead to his transformation into Super Teemo. We just hope he’s able to avoid the trap Caitlyn has planted where he should l

With Doublelift gone, Team Liquid have flipped their history book to a fresh, blank sheet, and they’ll be turning to Edward «Tactical» Ra to help fill in the pages. Team Liquid had won four consecutive titles before Cloud9 won the 2020 Spring Finals, dominating North America for two straight ye

The 2020 League of Legends Spring Split has come and gone. Cloud9 won North America, G2 Esports won Europe’s title, T1 took home the LCK Championship and JD Gaming won the honors in China’s LPL. The split was a wild ride for fans and teams across the globe, from Konstantinos-Napoleon «FORG1VEN» Tzortziou controversially stepping down from FC Schalke 04 to Team Liquid benching Yiliang «Doublelift» Peng , to COVID-19 throwing a giant wrench into it

The organization’s roster is still pretty similar to the one that won those four titles. Along with Tactical, the only different face is Mads «Broxah» Brock-Pedersen, who replaced Jake «Xmithie» Puchero in the jungle before the 2020 Spring Split. Team Liquid is still the stacked roster they were before, and Tactical’s potential to become a homegrown star is a positive sign for the franch

Despite the hyper attitude of Jinx in the game and her depiction as such in most of her splash arts, Jinx is considered by most players to be a rendition of an alternative emo girl. She dresses in a more gothic manner, dyes her hair, has some visible tattoos, and so forth. This comic captures that idea and shows us a friend who just wants a hug and is turned away by The Loose Can

The person impacted the most by the Doublelift trade may be none other than Kobbe. The 23-year-old left his home in Europe to play for TSM at the end of last year. After just one split with the team, where he arguably was one of the best bot laners in the league, TSM replaced him with Doublel

TSM has now won six out of their last eight games, finding their way to 3rd place in the LCS Spring standings. Dardoch has been a major part of this surge, playing Lee Sin both games this past weekend against 100 Thieves and Evil Geniuses, winning both handily. One of the main jobs of a jungler is to secure neutral objectives, such as baron and dragon, as these give buffs that increase the stats of the players, helping them win fights. During week 5, TSM gave up 6 dragons, taking just 3 for themselves. This was done intentionally, however, as they decided to exchange early game dragons for objectives elsewhere on the map, such as map pressure and turrets. Early game dragons were weakened this past off season, and making these trade-offs helped TSM get early advantages. In doing so, this enabled Dardoch to secure baron buffs, an arguably more important late game objective. He managed to secure his team 100% of the barons taken this past weekend, which led to TSM winning both games. In terms of personal stats, Dardoch led junglers with a 14 KDA this week, dying just once. TSM will look to Dardoch to be a strength in the jungle, as they chase Flyquest in the standi

Believe it or not, the Spring Split of the 2020 League of Legends Championship Series is already past its halfway point, and teams and players are starting to see themselves separate from the rest of the pack. Cloud9 leads the way, extending their dominant streak and continuing their quest for the coveted 18-0 undefeated season. Flyquest, now in sole possession of 2nd place, impresses once again and they now sit comfortably behind Cloud9 at 7-3. TSM continues to flip-flop between strong and shaky weeks, but the Bjergsen-led squad rounds out the top three at 6-4. As they and the rest of the players fight it out on the rift to distinguish themselves and their teams, some performances stood out from the r
