The young team finished last split in third place, and are well on their way to another great finish this summer. In the past two weeks, Mad Lions have had impressive victories against Fnatic, Origen and Rouge, the latter most earning them the exclusive first place spot in the standi
Week 3 was a wild ride for fans and players of the League of Legends European Championship. Mad Lions and Rouge sit atop the standings, while Fnatic hovers below the playoff threshold in seventh place with a 3-4 rec
One of the biggest problems with League of Legends is its original update pattern, adding champions at a constant rate before they could be properly balanced. This helps the game feel more full and diverse, but a metagame changes too quickly through major additi
Whenever Cho'Gath successfully eats something with his ultimate, his health increases along with his size, and when Riot released his Darkstar skin, it was noted that his appearance changed after several successful ults. With this in mind, Riot can offer players a variety of different looking Cho'Gath's-similar to how the Lux and Miss Fortune Skins w
Speaking of Death Prophet, players may be frustrated to hear that the character has received another round of nerfs following changes only recently. Apart from his starting speed reduced from 315 to 310, Exorcism now provides a movement speed bonus of 16/18/20%, down from 20% at all times, and the mana cost at all levels is now 50 more than before. The character will likely continue to see play, but mostly by diehard fans, and we hope this is the last round of nerfs the character is subjected to rece
As individual players, Misfits fields strong talent on their roster. But as a team, the lineup just hasn't gelled together how fans believe they could. Their macro play has been a point of inconsistency, with their players often on different pa
Kanavi may be the best jungler the LPL has ever sent to the World Championship. The Korean import fully embodies the patented LPL aggression with his champion pool (Lee Sin, Nidalee, Graves) and mechanics. He consistently finds advantages against enemy junglers through optimal pathing, counter-jungling, and ganking. He seems to know exactly when to start fights and how to set up his team for success. He spent the year outplaying some of the best junglers in the world, like Tian and Karsa, and he looks to do the same at Wor
While Ruler may be the perfect AD Carry , Jackeylove is a highlight waiting to happen. The former World Champion joined Top Esports at the beginning of the year and was the spark that the team needed. His fearlessness led to a lot of TES victories, and the occasional int. He looks to earn his second World Championship and cement himself as one of League’s greatest AD Carr
In addition, Supernova scepter upgrade no longer allows Phoenix to cast Sun Ray, whereas the level 20 Talent has changed from a +1.25 second Supernova Stun Duration to Sun Ray During Supernova. While no one enjoys seeing their favorite character nerfed, and there are many fans of Phoenix, these changes were necessary and simply take the hero from overpowered to within a far more acceptable range of po
Although the top team is up for debate, Mad Lions are currently the best performing team in European League of Legends . Just a split ago, they were a group of five rookies, and they've since transformed into potentially the most synchronous team in the
Gnar has been a mainstay in the top lane since his release in the summer of 2014, and many consider him to be the cutest of the Yordles, but appearances can be deceiving. When Gnar uses his ultimate he transforms into Mega Gnar, an angry behemoth who is capable of knocking back and slowing the entire enemy t
In general, players' regular builds will still work just fine in Nexus Blitz as it is easy to acquire gold. You still receive gold for last hitting minions , but you also receive a small amount of gold for just being near a minion when it dies. Plus, when the fighting starts you will be rolling in the gold from kills and assists. In terms of strong builds, A lot of players are picking AP carries and focusing on building a lot of AP and Cooldown reduction since a few of the events are just straight-up brawls where you will need to deal as much damage as quickly as possible. Although games generally last 15 - 20 minutes because of how quickly you accumulate gold, it is more than possible to six-slot your ADC champion archetypes due to all the gold coming in. Another reason why games only last 15 - 20 minutes is that the game will enter a sudden death mode where your Nexus will literally begin walking towards the other and vice versa. The shortness of the game mode is definitely part of the reason it was so highly requested. Nexus Blitz is a great way to take a short break from ranked while still practicing your team coordination and fighting with fun eve
In the same matchup against Rouge, Mad Lions purposely let through Varus, who has essentially been a global perma-ban in League of Legends as of late. Mad Lions then immediately locked in Senna and Wukong as their bot lane. They smashed the Varus-led Rouge, with Matyáš “Carrzy” Orság going 2/1/7 on Senna and Norman “Kaiser” Kaiser going 3/0/6 on Wuk(Image: https://wiki.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/images/Wiki.png)
