Breaking Down The Crazy Few Days of League of Legends Roster Moves

Flyquest has outperformed all exceptions this split, in large part due to their 22 year old German mid laner. Along with having the coolest name in the LCS, PowerOfEvil has led his team to four victories in a row. During week 5 he flexed his expansive champion pool, playing Orianna against Golden Guardians and Corki against Counter Logic Gaming, both firsts for him this split. PowerOfEvil was also the first player in the world to win a game as Corki this year. Immortals' Eika and DAMWON Gaming's ShowMaker in Korea were the only other players to use Corki, both losing their games on t he daring bombardier . As Flyquest looks to finish out the season strong, they will lean on PowerOfEvil to be a dominant force in the mid l

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 Riot Games trading card game 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

The smoke has cleared from the League of Legends Mid-Season Cup, which saw China's top talent square off against Korea's finest in place of the canceled MSI.

Joining Dardoch is former Flyquest top laner Omran "V1per" Shoura, who recently signed with Dignitas after the team let go of Heo "Huni" Seung-hoon. Dignitas came into the Spring Split with moderately high expectations, fielding a roster of grizzled veterans Huni, Henrik "Froggen" Hansen, Zaqueri "aphromoo" Black and up-and-coming rookie Johnson "Johnsun" Nguyen. The team struggled heavily though, benching their jungler Jonathan "Grig" Armao in favor of academy jungler Matthew "Akaadian" Higginbot
