Today was a tough day for Western League of Legends fans. After 100 Thieves’ disappointing performance against T1, North American teams officially went winless on the third day of the 2021 World Championship group stage. Things were looking promising for 100 Thieves after their win against DetonatioN FocusMe yesterday. They represented the last glimmer of hope for LCS fans watching the tournament today, who had just witnessed the dismantling of both Cloud9 and Team Liquid at the hands of DWG KIA and Gen.G, respectively, and were searching for something to

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

DWG KIA seemed to have a very specific game plan against FPX coming into this match, giving Yuumi to support BeryL paired with mid laner ShowMaker’s LeBlanc to roam around the map and seek kills. Although Yuumi’s priority has progressively risen after the latest
