SK Gaming finished as the second-worst team in the League of Legends jungle guide of Legends European Championship this past spring. After winning just four out of their eighteen total games, SK announced some major roster shakeups that they hope will help propel them back into competition among Europe's fin

TSM has now won six out of their last eight games, finding their way to 3rd place in the LCS Spring standings. Dardoch has been a major part of this surge, playing Lee Sin both games this past weekend against 100 Thieves and Evil Geniuses, winning both handily. One of the main jobs of a jungler is to secure neutral objectives, such as baron and dragon, as these give buffs that increase the stats of the players, helping them win fights. During week 5, TSM gave up 6 dragons, taking just 3 for themselves. This was done intentionally, however, as they decided to exchange early game dragons for objectives elsewhere on the map, such as map pressure and turrets. Early game dragons were weakened this past off season, and making these trade-offs helped TSM get early advantages. In doing so, this enabled Dardoch to secure baron buffs, an arguably more important late game objective. He managed to secure his team 100% of the barons taken this past weekend, which led to TSM winning both games. In terms of personal stats, Dardoch led junglers with a 14 KDA this week, dying just once. TSM will look to Dardoch to be a strength in the jungle, as they chase Flyquest in the standi

Believe it or not, the Spring Split of the 2020 League of Legends Championship Series is already past its halfway point, and teams and players are starting to see themselves separate from the rest of the pack. Cloud9 leads the way, extending their dominant streak and continuing their quest for the coveted 18-0 undefeated season. Flyquest, now in sole possession of 2nd place, impresses once again and they now sit comfortably behind Cloud9 at 7-3. TSM continues to flip-flop between strong and shaky weeks, but the Bjergsen-led squad rounds out the top three at 6-4. As they and the rest of the players fight it out on the rift to distinguish themselves and their teams, some performances stood out from the r

Despite the team's seemingly never-ending inconsistencies, the Dignitas bot lane has been a glimmer of hope for fans of the franchise. Johnsun, the young AD carry acquired in the Vulcan deal, has impressed North American spectators. Born in Canada, Johnsun has proven himself valuable in a region where young, native talent is a rare commod

Ssumday also had a solid game during 100 Thieves' first game of the week against TSM, but couldn't manage to get the win alongside his struggling teammates. During week 5, Ssumday led all top laners in KDA (kill/death/assist ratio) with 6, while also managing to get a whopping 3 solo kills, cementing himself as one of the week's best players. Currently sitting in 6th place at 4-6, 100 Thieves will continue to count on Ssumday to be their driving force for the remaining half of the sea

Despite the hyper attitude of Jinx in the game and her depiction as such in most of her splash arts, Jinx is considered by most players to be a rendition of an alternative emo girl. She dresses in a more gothic manner, dyes her hair, has some visible tattoos, and so forth. This comic captures that idea and shows us a friend who just wants a hug and is turned away by The Loose Can

Ssumday continued to be one of the most impactful players this past weekend, being the first in the LCS this split to use Lucian in the top lane. While playing against Golden Guardians on the versatile marksman, Ssumday outperformed his top lane opponent Hauntzer, who was playing Gangplank, by out farming him by 25 CS (creep score) at the 15-minute mark. In terms of XP (experience points), every one of Ssumday's teammates was losing to their respective opponents at the 15-minute mark while Ssumday himself led Hauntzer by an impressive 912 XP. The South Korea native utilized this early game advantage to carry his team to an impressive victory over the Golden Guardi

League of Legends is a team-based game. There's absolutely no way around out. Working together with other players and properly selecting the roles the team needs is essential to emerging victoriously. It's important to communicate with the team as well. For example, if the team is rushing one specific section of Summoners Rift, that needs to be communicated. There's a reason why these roles exist, as each one picks up the slack of the others. One bad apple can ruin the entire game. As a new player, it's recommended to begin playing as each role until one feels like the right fit. Once it clicks, grind with that character until the player sees improvem

In Evil Geniuses' first split back in the LCS, they made waves by signing high profile players in reigning MVP Dennis "Svenskeren" Johnsen, former Team Vitality mid-laner Daniele "Jiizuke" di Mauro and Bae "Bang" Jun-sik, who won two World Championships back when he was a part of SKT T1 in 2015 and 2016. The team also added former Cloud9 youngsters Tristan "Zeyzal" Stidam and Colin "Kumo" Zhao. Despite looking inconstant at times, EG finished the split in 3rd place, losing to Flyquest in the semi-fin
