The unsung heroes: Support players to watch at Worlds 2021

When it comes to the most impactful roles in League of Legends, most players immediately look towards the jungle, which has been vital to solo queue success since the beginning of the 2021 season. But in the team-focused landscape of professional play, another role takes precedent in shot-calling, teamfighting, and overall map awareness: support. Support players in professional League have stood out as some of the most important and impactful players throughout 2021.

Riot Games issued an apology after inadvertently referring to the 2021 League of Legends World Championship play-in stage as a “fiesta.” The developers described the unfortunate wording as “placeholder copy” that was meant as an “ironic joke” due to their “frustration in not being able to support play-ins” with Worlds 2021 Pick’ems. In a post on Sept. 26, Riot had written: “Play-ins are happening and we don’t support that fiesta. Sit back, relax, and gather up your posse in preparation for the show.” It was later deleted.  Several notable figures

Where is TwitchCon 2022 being held?

Twitch announced today the return of its annual self-named convention for 2022, following two years without an in-person event. Last year, the livestreaming platform held an online event called GlitchCon after being forced to cancel TwitchCon due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
