How G2 Took Over The LEC

There used to be a time when nobody in Europe knew what a "G2" was. Or maybe they did, but they thought it was just something you drank during a workout. In late August of 2015, the European League of Legends Championship Series was barely three years old and Fnatic was fresh off their second consecutive title, winning a whopping five out of the league of legends Ranked guide's first six. Meanwhile, an organization called Gamers2, owned by Carlos "Ocelote" Rodriguez Santiago, had been battling their way through the EU Challenger Series for the two years prior, trying to earn themselves a spot to compete in the European

G2 Esports once again was the team to beat during 2016 summer, rounding out the split in 1st place. The team would go on to win the summer playoffs and capture their second title in as many seasons. Swiping Origen's bot lane from under their noses and stealing Europe's limelight away from Fnatic, combined with the team's unforgiving dominance and MSI controversy, in less than a year, G2 Esports quickly became the villains of Eur


With a team composed of Wunder in the top lane, Jankos in the jungle, Caps in the mid lane and Perkz and Mikyx in the bot lane, G2 would find their old form. This roster, composed of faces both old and new, gelled together in a way that was previously unseen. Caps unlocked something, and the team started to win again. But this time, they weren't villains, they were her

Fnatic cleanly swept them 3-0 and won the 2018 Spring Split. The European fan-favorites would win again during the Summer 0f 2018, while G2 suffered an early exit from the Summer playoffs at the hands of Misfits in the quarterfinals. Despite the somewhat disappointing 2018 Spring and Summer Splits, G2 secured themselves a spot to compete in the 2018 World Champions

Following their poor MSI finish, that 2016 summer saw drastic changes to the G2 roster with the departures of Kikis and Emperor, and the arrivals of Jesper "Zven" Svenningsen and Alfonso "Mithy" Aguirre Rodríguez. Zven and Mithy previously composed the powerful bot lane duo from fan-favorite xPeke's Origen that G2 took down in the LCS finals just a few months prior. Armed with their shiny new bot lane, Perkz and the rest G2 marched into the 2016 Summer Split with high expectati


Here's how League of Legends games work out. Two teams of Five are to face off against each other on the map, Summoner's Rift. The player then will select champions to take control of for the match. Currently, the game has over 140 characters, each one with their own unique abilities and skills. In order to win the game, the team must destroy the enemy team's base. The challenges lie in seeing who can do this first while killing each other and protecting their own base. Also, champions can be leveled up in games and become stronger by earning experience and gold. One team will eventually fall behind and the other will be victorious. Sounds simple enough. Although, there's a lot of consideration when playing a game of League of Legends , especially when selecting a champion. Each game can be vastly different due to the difference in each champion. Let's start with choosing a r


With the season just halfway through, it can be argued that all five Cloud9 members are worthy of winning the Spring Split MVP. Each of them are dominating in their own way, but perhaps none are more deserving than Zven. Playing excellent both mechanically and mentally, Zven along with his support Vulcan have dominated the bot lane this season, and week 5 was no different. Zven played an excellent Varus against CLG, who Cloud9 unsurprisingly beat. What was surprising, however, was Cloud9's choice of bot lane in their second game against Immortals. Zven actually played "support" Senna, while Vulcan went Tahm Kench, acting as the "carry." This is a strategy similar to what Dignitas Academy employed in their matchup against Golden Guardians Academy, where AD carry Fenix went Senna and support Olleh went Galio. Fenix "supported" Olleh as he farmed with Ga


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
