Dignitas Aphromoo: «Last Split, We Weren’t Together on Anything»
The smoke has cleared from the League 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
league of legends Guide of Legends ’ latest champion took the top lane by storm. His versatility was praised by many players and in professional leagues from around the world, it’s expected for him to be close to 100% picked or ban
Aphromoo also explained how the team makes transitions easier for the new players. «We scrim in-house, so everyone’s always together. We do some team activities where we play whatever game and stuff like th
Standard ability distribution, Youmuu’s Ghostblade, and Duskblade of Draktharr are key for lethality, then Grasp of the Undying for incredible DPS in long fights and enhanced sustainability. Overgrowth is also important for getting stronger while you’re minion farm
When asked if he thinks Clash has helped with any of the issues in solo queue, Aphromoo laughed and said, «No, I’ve never played Clash in my life man.» The support added his thoughts about solo queue, saying, «But, even though solo queue still sucks man, I still play it anyway. It’s the only type of practice you can do by yourself. There’s nothing else besides in-houses but once teams start actually practicing, no one wants [to play solo queue] n
The addition of Dardoch presented a situation where Akaadian and Dardoch had to compete for the starting jungler position. Since TheGamer spoke to Aphromoo, Dignitas has announced that Akaadian will be the starter for the foreseeable future. Aphromoo gave his thoughts on the situation. «I do think everyone definitely is coming with their best foot forward and I’m not personally too shy of having that kind of thing happ
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
Aphromoo spoke about how he and his teammates are adjusting to all the new faces. «I know most of the guys, so I don’t think there’s too much adjusting going on. I think right now we just had tryouts for about a week so far to see who’s going to be playing on the LCS main roster and who’s gonna be playing on Academy. So, we’re still figuring that o
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
Just two weeks into the LCS, fans have been able to watch aphromoo play four different supports in four games. The veteran has so far played Leona, Lulu, Bard and Thresh. Despite Dignitas’ ugly 0-4 start to the split, aphromoo alongside his AD carry Johnsun «Johnsun» Nguyen have performed well in the bot l
Although League of Legends players have been occupied with the start of another ranked split and Patch 10.10, a brand new event is just around the corner. After the Galaxies 2020 event ended several weeks ago, Pulsefire 2020 is ready to take its place starting tomorrow. Running from May 14th to June 15th, the event has much to offer for those playing through
Flyquest has outperformed all exceptions this split, in large part due to their 22 year old German mid laner. Along with having the coolest name in the LCS, PowerOfEvil has led his team to four victories in a row. During week 5 he flexed his expansive champion pool, playing Orianna against Golden Guardians and Corki against Counter Logic Gaming, both firsts for him this split. PowerOfEvil was also the first player in the world to win a game as Corki this year. Immortals’ Eika and DAMWON Gaming’s ShowMaker in Korea were the only other players to use Corki, both losing their games on t he daring bombardier . As Flyquest looks to finish out the season strong, they will lean on PowerOfEvil to be a dominant force in the mid l
The 2020 Mid Season Cup was no different, with Gen.G being the lone LCK team to make it out of the group stage. Many pegged T1, who recently won the 2020 LCK Spring Split, as the favorites to win the tournament. Despite getting off to early leads in their games thanks to some nutty plays from Lee «Faker» Sang-hyeok, T1 looked near-clueless at times, losing their advantages and allowing their opponents to come back and
