5 Takeaways from the League of Legends Mid-Season Cup

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

Korea’s reign of dominance over League of Legends news of Legends esports is long over. Teams from China’s LPL have repeatedly bested the Korean representatives not just in this tournament, but in all recent international events. After five straight Korean World champions, the past two Worlds finals saw two Chinese teams in Invictus Gaming and FunPlus Phoenix beat two European teams in Fnatic and G2 Esports, respectiv

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

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

Standard ability allocation, Infinity Edge to milk Critical Strikes, Essence Reaver to keep pausing abilities, and attack speed boosting items like Berserker’s Greaves and Rapid Firecannon are recommended. Early game you’re farming minions in the bot lane, mid-game you switch to objective stealing and assisting team fights, late-game you’re focusing on tower takedo

ADC/Marksman: ADC stands for attack, damage, carry. This role is responsible for dishing out damage to the enemy team. While these roles can attack and kill pretty easily, they are also one of the weakest in terms of defense. Using gold (gold will be mentioned later) the Marksman can become stron

Standard ability distribution of Double Up first, Strut at level eight, Make It Rain at level 14. High attack speed is critical for those last hits so get Berserker’s Greaves and Rapid Firecannon. Then start picking off weak units to stack Legends before delivering the Coup De Grace on enemy champi

We just couldn’t pass the chance to compliment our favorite Prophet of the Void reimagined in Iron Man fashi

Ssumday continued to be one of the most impactful players this past weekend, being the first in the LCS this split to use Lucian in the top lane. While playing against Golden Guardians on the versatile marksman, Ssumday outperformed his top lane opponent Hauntzer, who was playing Gangplank, by out farming him by 25 CS (creep score) at the 15-minute mark. In terms of XP (experience points), every one of Ssumday’s teammates was losing to their respective opponents at the 15-minute mark while Ssumday himself led Hauntzer by an impressive 912 XP. The South Korea native utilized this early game advantage to carry his team to an impressive victory over the Golden Guardi
