How G2 Took Over the LEC

"No one wants to pick up Dardoch, that's not my fault." In what was perhaps the most talked-about news in League of Legends this year, Team SoloMid president Leena Xu's controversy with Yiliang "Doublelift" Peng and Joshua "Dardoch" Hartnett caused an explosion in the community when Leena was overheard on Doublelift's stream saying in a phone call that now-infamous series of words. Well, it turns out she was wrong, as the twenty-two-year-old jungler became the latest player to sign with Digni

Similarly, Resident Evil began trending online as players noticed some eerie similarities between the company working on a vaccine and the in-game Umbrella Corporation. So, in some rare cases, certain games have even benefited from the fears of the Coronavirus and how they relate to the illness. However, the effects of this virus might wind up spreading even further into the future, as the manufacturing of this years most anticipated consoles may be at r

This move should be an immediate upgrade for TSM, who suffered an early exit in the spring playoffs at the hands of Flyquest. Doublelift will be reuniting with former teammates Søren "Bjergsen" Bjerg and Vincent "Biofrost" Wang, who Doublelift won three consecutive titles with from the summer of 2016 to the summer of 2

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, reference 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

G2's first game in the LCS was on January 14th, 2016. Following the departure of SmittyJ and Jesse, G2 added Kim "Trick" Gang-yun and Kim "Emperor" Jin-hyun to play in the jungle and bottom lane. Still led by Kikis and Perkz (although no longer with a capital "z"), the fresh young team faced off against Elements and former Gamers2 mid laner Eika, in their first LCS g

G2 lost their first four games at MSI, ultimately coming in second to last place and missing the playoffs entirely. This was devastating not only to G2, but to Europe as a whole, as this placement meant that the region would miss out on a Pool 1 Seed at Worlds. In regards to their poor play, the organization hastily put out a statement halfway through day two of the event, explaining how the team had taken vacation time after a "rigorous Spring Split." SKT would go on to win MSI, with Faker receiving

At the moment, this is still hearsay, as no event was announced and Sony hasn't commented on exactly what reveals may have been delayed as a result of the convention's delay. It is entirely possible that we've already seen the effects of this delay, with Final Fantasy 7 Remake 's new trailer dropping suddenly online as opposed to being revealed at a press event. With that being said, while it may have been a strong business tactic to reveal the system at Taipei, with worldwide coverage reaching close to the huge Chinese gaming market, Sony will likely be holding the PS5 announcement in a more private venue in the fut

The 27-year-old had previously given his thoughts about solo queue issues in League of Legends , suggesting that third party leagues and tournaments similar to those in CS:GO might benefit the game. Riot has since released Clash, which is similar to what CS:GO offers to players trying to climb the lad

The rest of the 2016 Spring Split was no different for G2, going 15-3, dropping games only to H2k, Vitality and Fnatic. They finished the split in 1st place, and would soon defeat Fnatic in the semi-finals and Origen in the finals to capture the organization's first title in their first-ever sp

After just recently sweeping Fnatic in the 2020 Spring Finals, G2 has now tied their rival for most European titles of all time. What Fnatic did in six years, G2 did in just over four. There is no doubt who the real kings of Europe are. But, the team's goals go past winning their region. G2 Esports want to win Wor

The addition of Dardoch presented a situation where Akaadian and Dardoch had to compete for the starting jungler position. Since TheGamer spoke to Aphromoo, Dignitas has announced that Akaadian will be the starter for the foreseeable future. Aphromoo gave his thoughts on the situation. "I do think everyone definitely is coming with their best foot forward and I’m not personally too shy of having that kind of thing happ
