Since winning Worlds with Samsung Galaxy in 2017, Lee ‘Crown’ Min-ho has been on a bit of a rollercoaster ride. But if the first two weeks of LCS are anything to go by, the Optic mid-laner may have rediscovered his mojo.
So much for the French Revolution, eh? At best, it’s on hold after Faze and Furia made light work of G2 and Vitality in Dallas.
The French are no strangers to revolution, in real life or in our own little corner of it. Now, Vitality (and to a lesser extent G2) are looking to start yet another, using tried and tested Gallic classics. No, I’m not talking about the guillotine. I’m talking about the AK-47 of NBK and the AWP […]
Today is an exciting one for The Roar’s esports section.
G2’s victory at the Mid-Season Invitational was a touchstone moment for League of Legends, especially in Europe.
One of the paradoxes of sports journalism is that it’s often at its most entertaining when you are wrong.
I hate Team Liquid. Not because they beat the best team in my native region, but because, in doing so, they ruined 850 words I had written.
With the Korea vs World gap definitively closing in the past 18 months, MSI has drawn attention to a different skill division: the wildcard regions.
Live by the sword, die by the sword: the final match of the HCT World Championship showed us the best and worst of Hearthstone in one, neat, little RNG-shaped package.
With the Mid-Season Invitational just seven days away I thought this week I’d have a bit of fun with this week’s column.
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.
That was definitely the “oh my god it’s really happening” moment, I agree.
Anyone can win Worlds this year: Why not G2?
