Defending champions DAMWON KIA kicked off the 2021 World Championship group stage with a statement win against FunPlus Phoenix, the LPL frontrunner in their group. The South Korean team ended the game in under 30 minutes to match the high expectations that weigh on their shoulders. 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

The last string that held Team Liquid together broke. The multi-time LCS champion team committed millions of dollars this past November, signing two high-profile free agents and renewing its mid laner to one of the biggest extensions in the league—and now, it looked all for naught.  It had already been a rough June for Liquid. One of those stars, top laner Alphari, got benched amid behavioral issues early in the month, and the other, Santorin, played through debilitating migraines and needed time to recover. Yet there was one more unforeseen

Worlds is back, and the League of Legends meta is reaching one of its most diverse points of the season.

For reference, that’s an increase from last year’s play-in

After a banger of a tiebreaker match against Cloud9 today, DetonatioN FocusMe have etched their names into the history books as the first Japanese League of Legends team to qualify for the group stage at a World Championship. Before the game, DFM looked like the hottest team in the play-in stage, picking up must-win matches against all other competitors in dominant fashion. The only team they had lost against was C9, but they had plenty of momentum on their side. C9, on the other hand, were reeling from an unexpected
