Astralis just had their worst performance at a tournament in a long time.
I’ve written a lot about 2018 being the year that professional League of Legends changed. Apparently, though, no-one told SK Telecom or G2.
Team Solo Mid has already worked one miracle to reverse-sweep their way out of an unfavourable semi-final, but the final against Team Liquid demands a second one. Can the seemingly untouchable Bjergsen do it again?
Magic’s first true foray into esports took place this past weekend and it was… interesting.
Last week I wrote that Europe seems to be heading down the same route it always does, with Fnatic being the in-form team at the end of the season. In North America, though, things are, er, exactly the same, more or less.
Esports, being as young as it is, doesn’t have a lot of tried and tested clichés, but everyone beats everyone and Fnatic wins in the end is quickly becoming one.
Despite being one of the oldest esports franchises – arguably one of the inaugural ones – Counter-Strike hasn’t really changed that much over the years. Now, though, Valve is looking to switch things up.
IEM Katowice was almost the major at which all our memes ceased being dreams, but ENCE couldn’t quite make it past the final hurdle.
It’s a difficult time to be a fan of Blizzard games that aren’t called Overwatch. Despite posting record-breaking revenue figures for last year, the company recently went through a series of massive layoffs.
After a week in which new talent and less-favoured teams seemed to be all the rage, the champions stage of 2019’s first Major looks disappointingly familiar.
The qualifier is over and, apart from Fnatic, most of the big boys made it through. Your pick-‘ems were safe all along. Well, apart from the 3-0 slot but Renegades? Really? Who could have seen that coming?
Theoretically, 1pm on the third day of the Major qualifiers is an awkward time to write a column. As I write this intro, the first map of Vici vs Vitality just finished with an overtime win for the French team.
For League of Legends, 2018 was a year of great change.
I don’t usually like to write about the same thing two weeks running. But when G2’s unbeaten run continues, and when Fnatic’s depressingly poor run carries on, what’s a boy to do?
It’s easy to write about the best, but it can be difficult about it in an interesting way. This is exactly the dilemma that faces me this morning seeing G2 at the top of the LEC with the only undefeated record.
2019 looks like it might be a good one for me. We’re less than a month into the year and already one of my wishes has already come true.
I am not naturally a superstitious man, but League of Legends might be changing that. We all know about the caster curse, and journalists often end up praising a team just before a fall, but how about a t-shirt curse?
After recently making a wish list for League of Legends, it seemed to make sense to do one for my other primary focus: CS:GO.
That was definitely the “oh my god it’s really happening” moment, I agree.
Anyone can win Worlds this year: Why not G2?
