Ahead of the 2020 Spring Split, Counter Logic Gaming acquired former world champion Lee "Crown" Min-ho. After a 1-7 start, Crown was benched for veteran Eugene "Pobelter" Park. "When [Pobelter] first joined, the team was kinda off the rails in a way," Stixxay said while laughing. "We forgot about a lot of the fundamentals and basics of the game cause we’d just been losing so mu

"I think something as simple as stretching and doing something that’s not waking up, sitting in your chair, and going straight into scrims is really helpful. It just helps your mindset a lot," added Stix

Getting to know Garen's abilities and leveling them in the right order is essential to playing him well. A good basic order for Garen to level up his abilities is putting the first point into Decisive Strike, followed by Judgement, and then a point in courage. From there, you are going to want to prioritize leveling Judgement but still be sure to level up your Ultimate when you can. Once Judgement is maxed out or close, prioritize Decisive Strike and then finally Courage. It is also recommended to use Flash and Ignite as your Summoner Spells. For runes, use Conqueror and get Triumph, Tenacity, and Last St

Talking about some of what the Counter Logic Gaming management provides for the players, "It's really helpful... we have two, maybe more, people that come in and help us with physical training," explained Stix

For old school League players , this entry should come as no surprise. Unlike the support items today, all three of these items give passive gold over time. They were initially for supports, but mostly every lane started buying them. Because of the passive or the item is in the build tree for another item, they give tons of gold with no coun

After all, it requires perfect timing and/or lots of team communication. In solo queue ranked play or even in normals, that kind of thing just isn’t likely to happen. Like Galio and Volibear, Pantheon also reveals how Riot prioritizes competitive play over average fan/player experience. The visual rework also gave him that "shiny" look, removing the weathered and worn warrior aesthetic he previously

Despite the rocky start to 2020, the Counter Logic Gaming roster believes in themselves to turn it around this summer. And even if fans of the LCS may be doubting their ability to, Stixxay is certainly

League of Legends has its own mobile version coming called Wild Rift , and even there it’s clear they’ve simplified things quite a bit for a platform without a keyboard too. MOBAs thrive on complex characters and situations, but having too many could be just as big of a prob

His previous ultimate where he turned to stone and cc’ed/damaged nearby enemies was extremely useful late MOBA game items once getting Zhonya's Hourglass. It could incapacitate all the right enemies so a Katarina, Akali, or Darius could bop around annihilating people. Though Galio’s new kit has more utility, his ultimate feels like a weaker Stand United from Shen and his other abilities feel like watered-down versions of his past ones. That said, the rework did remove the "flash taunt" move which most players regarded as super bro

Though players referred to old Sion as a "feast or famine" champion in that players either got super ahead or very behind, many older players miss his previous kit a great deal. Sion was a champion players could do almost anything with originally. Want to build AP Sion and destroy top lane until reaching the inhibitor at 15 minutes? Boom. Want to go full lifesteal, attack speed, and crit? Do it. There’s no risk of death at

Garen's ability, Courage, is both his second active and second passive ability. The passive ability is a permanent buff granted to Garen for slaying enemies. For every unit killed by Garen, his armor and magic resistance increase by 0.25 points until he reaches a total of 30 points. Once at 30 points (or stacks) Garen will gain an additional 10% increase to both his armor and magic resistance stats. Courage's active protects Garen by reducing all incoming damage by 30% for a few seconds and during the first 0.75 seconds of the ability being active, Garen is also granted a bonus shield and 60% Tenacity. Tenacity decreases the time Garen is affected by crowd control abilities based on the percentage of Tenacity, which can help prevent Garen from being locked down or kited. Use Courage's active ability during Judgement or immediately after if you expect to be hit hard by enem

To put it frankly, G2 may not have made the playoffs were it not for Caps’ MVP season. Even after six straight domestic titles, an MSI victory, and back to back World’s Finals appearances, Caps continues to find ways to impress. In a region famous for its mid laners, Caps stands above. He comes into the tournament with hopes for a third shot at the title and to finally prove the best player in the world does not have to come from the e
