In 2011, before there were Korean servers or multi-million dollar prize pools, Riot Games hosted the Season 1 World Championship during Dreamhack Summer in Sweden for a relatively small audience. The tournament finals pitted the European powerhouses Fnatic against aAa (against All authori
This iteration of SKT T1 had an absolutely astounding Worlds run by going undefeated in the group stage. In fact, they only dropped two games in the entire tournament. To this day, no other team has won more than one World Championship title -- let alone th
The cosplay's casual and understated qualities are emphasized by the pedestrians in the background, but their presence also heightens Ezreal's roguish and mystical persona—almost as if the prodigious explorer briefly found his way into the world, posed for a picture, then shifted back to the Ri
Even though Teemo can be a formidable opponent, he still has fairly low health and armor compared to some of the champions he faces in lane. This means that it can be easy for inexperienced Teemo players to overextend and end up with more deaths than ki
Another item that's received buffs to its weak early state, Stridebreaker had a rough time breaking through. Goredrinker was previously in an overpowered state, and most bruisers would simply go for the superior option. With nerfs to Goredrinker, Stridebreaker has risen as an alternative that's arguably super
Samsung Galaxy's finals set against SKT T1 in 2017 was simply amazing. SKT T1 was going for a three-peat and their fourth Worlds title, trying to take home their second consecutive title after an incredible run in 2016. The roster of Huni, Peanut/Blank, Faker, Bang, and Wolf faced off against CuVee, Ambition/Haru, Crown, Ruler, and Cor
Following up Seeker's Armguard is its upgrade, Zhonya's Hourglass. Stopwatch is included here as well since every class of character can make use of the item. Stopwatch, on its own, arena 2V2 gives absolutely no stats at a cost of 600 gold. The rune "Perfect Timing" also grants the player a free Stopwatch after a period of time. This item can be combined into a variety of items, including the famous Zhonya's Hourgl
In 2020, DAMWON Gaming might have solidified themselves as the most synergized, "complete" roster to have ever competed in a World Championship. Following their disappointing 2019 Worlds performance, DWG returned to Summoners Rift with a revamped roster with their sights set on returning the Summoners Cup to Ko
While Riot Games has been under fire recently , their most popular title, League of Legends , is still going strong. It hits eight million concurrent players a day, which is absolutely mind-blowingly high numbers compared to most games. Needless to say, League of Legends isn't going anywhere anytime s
The roster consisted of Stanley, Lilballz, Toyz, Bebe, and MiSTakE who rose to prominence after their dominant flogging of Najin Sword and Moscow Five. The Taipei Assassins are widely regarded as the only "dark horse" team to hoist the Summoner's Cup due to the fact that they were an unknown team in the West prior to winn
As League of Legend's inaugural "Ultimate Skin," Pulse Fire Ezreal pushed boundaries and prominently showcased the evolving quality of cosmetics in the game. @samui_san brings the incredible design of the skin to life, posing with the gauntlet-turned-blaster at the re
Often, they'll try to trap enemy players between the deadly fungi and Teemo himself. This can also be a great play if Teemo's teammates are ready for a gank. Not so fortunate for those on the receiving end, tho
Due to his passive ability, Spinning Axe is the absolute bread and butter ability for this champion. The best Draven players are able to balance three axes at once when pushing waves into enemy turrets. When using the Q Ability, consider t
Even with an ability or trinket that can reveal stealthed traps, opponents still have the task of avoiding the poisonous mushrooms throughout the narrow paths of the Jungle. This can often mean having to take alternative routes, or being chased straight into one of the traps. Always be on guard when Teemo's aro
This allows players to have more control over the axe but also guarantees more damage. Players can force the enemy champion to take two hits if they immediately recall the weapon the moment it strikes them. It takes good timing, but veteran Draven players make sure to learn this vital skill with their ultim
The passive for Moonstone Renewer blesses a nearby ally with a heal on dealing damage to enemies. It also applies a heal on top of existing healing abilities. This includes all damage, like Brand's damage-over-time passive. This is a weak heal, but is on a short enough cooldown it applies multiple times during a fight. It also gets stronger the longer the user is in combat. A true Moonstone abuser will be able to sufficiently support their team and utilize the other cost-effective enchanter items, even on a midlaner's bud
