2019 marked the league's rebrand from the EU LCS to the LEC, the League of Legends European Championship. In their fourth year in the league, G2 would drop the bombshell of the decade by signing former Fnatic mid laner Rasmus "Caps" Borregaar, and moving Perkz to the AD carry position. The team would go on to sign Mihael "Mikyx" Mehle as w
It's possible he plays for TSM's Academy squad, although his skill level as a player is well above Academy. It's also possible he goes back to Europe to play in the LEC. Either way, the Denmark native is still young and his future in esports is still bri
So, let's take a look at how exactly this recent epidemic has affected the gaming industry and how it might continue to alter the plans of developers and tech giants like Sony and Microsoft. With doctors on China's front line to contain the spread of the virus and tend to those afflicted, these effects will hopefully end soon, as will the suffering of the victims. However, for now, it looks like we may be seeing the effects of this delays all year, as one of the world's largest manufacturing centers grinds to a h
Winning the Spring Split meant that G2 would be traveling to Shanghai for the 2016 Mid-Season Invitational. Going into the tournament, the public had high expectations for the European champions, but many doubted their chances of beating the legendary Faker and the rest of Korea's SK Telecom
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
G2 found plenty of success at the 2018 Worlds, defeating China's Royal Never Give Up in the quarterfinals, before losing to the soon-to-be champions Invictus Gaming in the semi finals. Fnatic would wind up beating North America's Cloud9 in the semis and losing to Invictus in the fi
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 beginner tank Support the remaining half of the sea
A similar situation can be seen happening to Nintendo's Animal Crossing : New Horizons as the manufacturers for the custom Switch that comes with the Switch Bundle are located in China. Again, the industry is a worldwide collection of independent companies and tech giants all coming together to deliver games, and in the past a majority of the manufacturing has been performed in China. As a result, when something like the Coronavirus begins spreading through the manufacturing center of the world, production can halt and shipments get dela
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'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
As a result of China's manufacturing taking a hit, a number of products that were originally meant to be delivered worldwide have been halted or delayed. This has affected a number of industries, including the tech, toy, and gaming industries, delaying product construction and events like Taipei Game Show that were meant to be showcase new produ
Finally, the pass also unlocks 20 milestone missions that reward various prizes including Prestige Points, League of Legends emotes, Little Legend eggs, and 2 Gemstones. Each mission requires 15 points from matches to compl
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
