In the 2013 World Championship finals, SKT T1 faced Royal Club in the finals. Tt was the battle of prodigies: the notorious unkillable demon king, Faker, vs. the greatest marksman to grace Summoners Rift, Uzi. This iconic series was the crucible that forged the Chinese Vs. Korean team rivalry in League of Lege
Pings are the best way to warn teammates of both threats and opportunities. When a champion disappears into the fog of war, or when a group of enemies suddenly shows up near a vision ward, ping that location to alert allies that something is am
It might be hard to believe, but League of Legends has been around since October of 2009. The free-to-play game has since released what feels like hundreds of skins for its ever-increasing champion pool. While some like the Star Guardian and Urf lines stand out, they aren't quite cool or intimidat
It's important to remember that, despite League of Draven and the other bonuses for doing so, it's okay to drop axes. In fact, sometimes experienced Draven players should. The enemy team can see where the axe should fly to return to Draven and may possibly decide to aim their skill shots in that direction. It can be a great way to make them miss by simply letting an axe drop as b
Fnatic and their roster consisting of xPeke, Cyanide, Shushei, LamiaZealot, and Mellisan got off to a rocky start. They narrowly made it out of group stages. But the team went on to perform an incredible miracle run by defeating CLG and EPIK Gamer. They eventually defeated aAa in the finals. Unfortunately, this Worlds was not incredibly memorable due to the lack of a defined meta, player storylines, and the relative newness of the game as it had only launched in 2
This roster of IG is noteworthy for playing the game with a fight-first mentality aiding in coining the term "LPL Aggression" by analysts and casters. The ultimate caveat of Invictus Gaming winning this world title is that they had virtually no path of resistance past defeating tournament favorites, KT Rolster, in the quarterfin
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
With over 140 champions available, League of Legends players are bound to have some favorite and not-so-favorite champions. One champion that is frequently on the receiving end of a lot of ribbing is Teemo. Described as a usually jovial yordle, Teemo can be unsettling at best and downright terrifying at worst, as he is able to switch quickly between charming and deadly seri
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
Brand isn't exactly a popular champion these days; no one reaches for the firestarter for ranked play. His skillset takes some learning and specific itemization or matchups to fully utilize. But this legacy skin pushed Brand toward the top tier for a hot min
SKT T1 finished the Summer Split in third place and still managed to qualify for Worlds due to their Spring performance. After overcoming their rivals, the Rox Tigers, in the semi-finals, SKT T1 went on to defeat Samsung Galaxy, securing their second consecutive World Championship title and third franchise ti
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
League of Legends is essentially a game of attrition, at its core. The goal is not to take on opponents head-on, but rather to collect resources, XP, and slowly but surely crawl ahead of the enemy team. Each champion in the team takes their place in one of three lanes (or the jungle) and collects XP and gold from fallen enemy mobs while taking out that lane's defensive tow
The amount of gold Draven amasses is absolutely massive, but they need to be extra careful to make sure Draven doesn't die or that they can cash out before losing all of their stacks. Sometimes, there's no way to avoid death after all. Keep an eye on those stacks, Source and if Draven is surrounded with no reasonable retreat, go all out instead of running a
New Teemo players may be tempted to just throw out their Noxious Traps wherever possible, hoping to catch an enemy in its explosion. An experienced Teemo player, however, will strategically place the poisonous mushro
TPA qualified for 2012 Worlds by clean sweeping every single team in Taiwan during the Season 2 Regionals in Taipei. Coming into the 2012 World Championship they were viewed as the dark horse of the tournament with most analysts predicting lackluster results considering their prior show game loss to CLG
