The Best Player From Each Lane During Week 5 of the LCS

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

Miss Fortune has been with League of Legends for ten years now and she remains very popular. She doesn’t fit a particular role, but her generalist nature and powerful ultimate allow her to step in where needed and provide some serious firepower, especially in team fig

Support: This role is to protect and support the ADC. If needed, this means taking hits and sacrificing their lives so the ADC can survive. Abilities focus more on crowd control like silences, stuns, slowing down the enemy. Their main mission is to support the t

Tank: It sounds exactly like what it is. The Tank roll requires players to take in all the heavy damage since they have a higher defense. They can also help control crowds with support. This role focuses on taking down the enemy team Marksman and holding them in place while the rest of the team arrives so they can kill them toget

After wining the 2019 Spring Split, G2 traveled to Taipei for the Mid-Season Invitational. They'd take down Korea's SKT and North America's Team Liquid to win Europe their first MSI title. G2 went on to win their sixth title during Summer 2019 and would eventually make it all the way to Worlds Grand Final before losing to China's FunPlus Phoe

As mentioned, all champions begin at level 1 at the start of each match. Leveling in a game can provide perks like more HP, MP, movement speed and defense. In order to level up. champions will need to defeat enemies or kill opponent champions. Also going to jungle camps and killing there is another way to gain levels. They will also drop gold that can be used to upgrade specific stats and unlock abilities. The max level players can reach in a single game is

In a game of League of Legends, there are 1 of 5 roles players can take on, each with their own function in-game. These are what each role can accomplish. It's recommended to try each roll to find what fits comfortably with the player. Also, as its a team-based game, it's important to consider what role is needed for the team to succeed in bat

Garen currently enjoys a 51 percent win rate and while that isn't the highest on this list he does enjoy the lowest ban percentage out of all the current S rank champions at 13.57 percent. His simple kit and seemingly infinite heals for himself make him a solid frontline for any t

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 the remaining half of the sea

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 games 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, Riftbound 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

This could sometimes be to his deterrent but when his ultimate is used correctly and at the right time, especially during team fights, he could lock down that annoying assassin or ADC, take them away from the team fight and take them down before they could help out their team and do some dam
