In their game against Excel, after a team fight win in the mid lane, the team split up. Kobbe went to push the wave in the top lane, while Iván “Razork” Martín went for Rift Herald and the rest of the team stayed mid to take the to

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

The week was full of significant matchups and exciting plays. While there's still a lot to discover about Europe's professional League of Legends teams, fans did learn a lot from the matches this past week. Here are five takeaways from Week 3 of the

Still a part of CLG in 2020, Stixxay and his teammates finished dead last in the Spring Split, four games behind ninth-place Team Liquid. However, the team has gotten off to a 3-1 start in summer, already matching their win total from spr

While slowing down releases of new champions, League of Legends has spent a ton of time reworking older characters to fit into the game better. Classic characters like Fiddlesticks and Volibear have had huge recent overhauls on their attacks and animations, and while they might play better now, it can be jarring for returning play

Alright, that heading is a bit of an exaggeration, but Phoenix is the character to have received the most significant nerfs in this patch. The three main changes are that Fire Spirits has had its cooldown increased from 45/40/35/30 to 51/44/37/30, leaving the ability virtually unchanged in the late game but more difficult to spam in the early g

In some player's eyes, the current Black Cleaver is a shadow of what the original item once was. In early season 3, Black Cleaver has armor penetration as a base stat and shreds past 40 armor on full sta

Stixxay is aware of the negative sentiment surrounding his team, even if he's not in agreement with it. “I just don't think it's true,” Stixxay said of the public's view. “I don’t think we’re a 10th place team, so last split was really disappointing for us. It just put a sour taste in everyone’s mouth… I think we had a really bad split and we worked a lot in the offseason to fix a lot of those thin

It can be intimidating for new players to see the list of characters in League of Legends, but thankfully not all of them are difficult to play. There are tons of simpler characters with clear, straightforward abilities like Veigar and Soraka, and Pokémon Unite could benefit greatly from having simple and approachable characters like them for new play

Teams picking Volibear have the ability to flex the champion top or jungle, which will always add strength to the pick through versatility. But Volibear has only gone top twice in the LEC, and it has a 1-1 record in the top lane. In the jungle, the recently reworked champion has gone 3-3 and has looked inconsistent at ti

The AD carry also explained how he's learned to follow his instincts while playing, and how those instinctual decisions are usually the correct ones. “I think if you’re really confident in yourself, you tend to make more of the correct decisions or do what naturally feels right, or follow your instinc

Older players got to experience this item's power and know why it was quickly removed. Before the start of season three, Madred's Bloodrazor continues to dominate the rift. A very high-cost item but allows each basic attack to deal 4% of the target's maximum health as bonus magic damage. Pairing with a 40% attack speed makes this item extremely powerful. Primarily built on champions with AD, it allows them to destroy tanks who stack armor resist because of the bonus magic damage. Along with the odd stats it has, it wasn't easy to play against and is why it makes the l

Force of Nature was an essential item for tanks, due to the amount of self-sustaining healing it gives. This item regenerates 1.5% of your max HP every second, which provides an insane regeneration on top of an additional 200% base regen it also gives. Building Force of Nature with items like Warmog's Armor and Spirit Visage makes tanks nearly unkillable without anti-healing items. Later, Force of Nature's passive transfers to Warmog's Armor , and then removed. These items brought about the first tank meta in League of Legen

The young team finished last split in third place, and are well on their way to another great finish this summer. In the past two weeks, Mad Lions have had impressive victories against Fnatic, Origen and Rouge, the latter most earning them the exclusive first place spot in the standi
