In 2018, for the first time since 2012, a Korean League of Legends team would not hoist the Summoners Cup. After years and years of falling short, a team from China would finally take home the championship trophy. At the time, Invictus Gaming's roster consisted of TheShy/Duke, Www.Lolgo.cc Ning, Rookie, JackeyLove, and Bao


It’s not just the mid-laner who needs to deal with the chaos of the central lane, it’s everyone. Thanks to how easy it is to reach, most team fights will usually surround this lane, with junglers trying to get behind entire teams from either side of the jungle and the other teammates trying to push up this primary ro


The ability system of the champions is basically the same, but the layout of it may appear to be a bit different. There are now buttons on the right side of your phone screen for you to press instead of the typical keys that you would hit to enact t


When taking a break from college, Goerge "HotShotGG" Georgallidis decided to play League of Legends. The sudden desire to try out the game came after playing DotA -- a game that made him realize he liked the MOBA genre. HotShotGG soon grew to be one of the best League of Legends players in the world which caused him to drop out of college in order to become a professional pla


Once considered the most well-known North American player, Yiliang "Peter" Peng played for CLG, TSM, and Team Liquid. Although he was primarily known for being amazing with Blitzcrank, Poppy, and Lee Sin, it was his bot lane performance that made him the amazing player he became. As an AD Carry, he was one of the best in his region, but certain things have always held him b


This player is mostly known for one of the most famous plays in League history. He managed to backdoor a nexus with his Kassadin during a thrilling 1v2 situation. Since then, because the LCS picture-in-picture camera would many times show split pushes and backdoors, it started being called "the Peke C


Score was afflicted by the "second place curse" as it was generally called. This became a meme because, for many years when competing in the LCK, Score would end in second. Luckily for him, the curse was broken in 2018. After that moment of hard-earned success, the player retired in 2


Both rosters were absolutely fierce with SKT T1 coming off eliminating some very tough opponents in the Quarter and Semi-Finals. On the other side, Samsung Galaxy had won their previous sets in a dominating fashion. In the Finals, Samsung Galaxy would go on to sweep defending champions SK Telecom T1, dethroning the most iconic franchise in League of Legends hist


That is until they faced Korea's Samsung White which consisted of Looper, Dandy, PawN, imp, and Mata. In an utterly embarrassing stomp (and on some of their signature champion picks), Samsung White defeated Uzi and Star Horn Royal Club to cement Korea as the most dominant region in the wo


As mentioned earlier, support players have absolutely seen the most significant changes to their items as builds have changed drastically over nearly every other season. Wards were a huge case for this as the Trinkets replaced many systems of buying individual wards and dedicated items to supply the team with vis


This makes it extremely entertaining for some and exceptionally frustrating for others, being a great place for independent players who love playing against a wide variety of champions. Fans have been making endless memes over the past decade of the game’s history surrounding just the tribulations lane, as well as some over the champions that call it h


The last item that only the oldest players might remember comes to us before the game's proper release, that being the Yordle Stomper boot upgrade. Before many players dived into the game, Summoner Spells weren't yet a thing in the game, and these boots provided the powerful Flash spell to any who had


Since their retirement announcements tend to come suddenly, those who don't follow the esports up close might only find out about it when the player appears doing something else professionally. Although they're not actively participating in team fights or trying to solo Baron, they left their own esports history and legacies (for better or wor


People all over the world enjoy League of Legends on PC as it is free-to-play and runs decently even on most toasters. But this game is not a port of the traditional PC League of Legends. Rather, it is a new mobile version of the ga


Every game needs to have a rollout plan at launch. The plan that the developers have set in place is to introduce two new champions to the game each month. This might seem like a steep order on top of fixing whatever bugs or issues come up in the mobile vers


The honor system in League of Legends is certainly well-meaning, but hardly an effective deterrent from negative players. Voting for your favorite player gives hardly any benefit, and most players are likely to give honor to the player with the highest KDA ra
