Everyone was able to take a deep breath after the first day of the 2021 League of Legends World Championship group stage, but the second day of the tournament’s main event refused to take its foot off the gas. At multiple points throughout the day, the supposed “game of the tournament” was played, only for another game later in the schedule to usurp the previous one of its title.  Now, after 16 full games have been played during the group stage, some groups are already appearing to be complete washes

Experience and progress are directly related variables in theory. But when a player has already eclipsed every competitor in their field with just a few years of proven experience, “progress” quickly turns into “greatness.” Coming off of a League of Legends World Championship title in 2020, DWG KIA mid laner ShowMaker is the bannerman for an ever-growing wave of the game’s next-gen superstars. With an MVP award, several All-Pro accolades, four domestic championships, and the Summoner’s Cup all in his trophy case, the question for ShowMaker is simple: how much

A breach of Twitch’s data exposed information regarding payouts for streamers over the course of the past 26 months, and as you might expect, some of the platform’s top streamers have made millions. The Twitch payout leaks only include money from subscriptions, bit donations, and advertisement revenue. The figures do not include any personal sponsorships or direct donations a streamer might have had over that period of time. The payouts also do not include any money they may have received from Twitch directly for signing a contract to stream exclusively

Worlds is back, and the League of Legends meta is reaching one of its most diverse points of the season. More than half of the champions on the game’s roster were selected over the 38 games in the play-in stage, setting the field for one of the most appealing World Championships in the game’s history.   Eighty champions were contested during the play-ins, with 75 being picked at least once, and five more being banned but never seeing playtime on Summoner’s Rift. For reference, that’s an increase from last year’s play-in

This article is sponsored by DJ Esports. DWG KIA had their fair share of ups and downs this season, but somehow, the team has found its way back to the World Championship as the LCK’s top seed.  After a roster change in the middle of the summer—one that placed legendary mid laner ShowMaker at the AD Carry position and the team’s starting AD Carry Ghost on the bench—the team struggled to find its identity in the season’s second half. Still, they were able to catch fire in the back-end of the

After a five-game battle against the CBLOL’s RED Canids today, the LCO’s PEACE have won the chance to play in another best-of-five series against Cloud9 tomorrow to decide who will enter the main event of the 2021 League of Legends World Championship. Throughout all five games, PEACE and RED Canids showed the willingness to fight in any situation. They weren’t scared to commit teleports, summoner spells, and ultimates for random skirmishes. But in many moments, both squads became overzealous with their aggression. In fact, the second game of the series
