If a group fight starts off with Glacial Fissure hitting most of the enemy team they can kiss their sorry butts goodbye. This is why this ability has a long casting time in general. Players need to be absolutely sure this move works but when it does, it can make engaging the enemy a bre

Those feelings are undoubtedly what makes this movie poster recreation both remarkably ridiculous and disappointingly true. One loss is far from the end of the world, but dealing with a player who ruins your game is easily one of the most relatable feelings throughout the g

The fact that it's still going to this day is amazing -- especially given how fervent and active the competitive scene still is. It's a living part of history that's great for all sorts of gamers who want something challenging, classic, and beautifully polis

"This is my dream, honestly," said Fabian, who also emphasizes that he’s a very competitive video game player. In fact, at one point he was a top 20-ranked Clash Royale player and even made decent money as a coach during that time. "The idea of having this platform where the best players in the world across every game are all in one place, that's the coolest thi

I selected a timeslot based on Canadas’s availability. The platform allows players to send their prospective coaches a message, so I included a note explaining that I have more than 1800 hours in the game but continue to struggle to keep up with my friends, particularly after switching from Xbox to PC roughly a year ago. He promptly accepted my appointment t

Score was afflicted by the "second place curse" as it was generally called. This became a meme because, for many years when competing in the LCK, Score would end in second. Luckily for him, the curse was broken in 2018. After that moment of hard-earned success, the player retired in 2

Before embarking on this endeavor, I spoke to Josh Fabian , Metafy’s cofounder and CEO. A product specialist who previously founded the anime social sharing site Kitsu , Metafy is his newest endea

Maintaining a presence in the lane is one thing, but staying too long is an often fatal mistake. After chasing down an opponent and killing them, many beginners will push towers while at low health, because there is no one there to challenge them. This opens the player up to being ganked by another en

Braum propels ice from his shield in the target direction, dealing magic damage to the first enemy hit and slowing them by 70% decaying over 2 seconds.

Look at just how much enemies get slowed! Landing Winter's Bite can be the difference between a successful ambush on the enemy or an opponent getting away. It's an amazing way to force the opposing team to turn around and fight a questionable battle because their retreat has become likely impossi

Dota started the MOBA genre and trend for a good reason and that's because its map was incredibly straightforward to understand. Stairs made for clear pathways, the foliage was all extremely large and explicit, and there were few obstacles that would make it hard to see what's going on on your scr

This effect cannot occur on the same target more than once every few seconds, but during this immunity period affected targets instead take 20% of the trigger damage as bonus magic damage from Braum 's basic attacks and Winter's B

If you’ve never played the ARAM game mode on the Howling Abyss, this Reddit meme is a great visualization of what it’s like. The hallway is still certainly more complex and competitive in the standard Summoner’s Rift, but it’s easy for the lane to turn into a vivid and destructive battlefie

One of the things that prove his mechanical superiority in the game is the fact that he held the highest CS/M throughout every season of LPL that he was in since 2015. He also managed to get five pentakills in LPL games. However, though he was a remarkable player, he has had attitude and discipline issues like many professional 2V2 League Of Legends play

I left the session feeling overall positive and quickly signed up for another session. For our second lesson, Canadas ran down my in-game graphic settings with me. He recommended turning some of the game’s graphic enhancements down, noting that things like V-Sync can cause delays that are mere miliseconds, but are enough to impact gamep

He founded the Counter Logic Gaming team (more commonly known as CLG) -- a team that placed 5th in the Riot Season 1 Championship back when items like Leviathan still existed . The last time we saw George in action was in 2014; currently, he is a retired esports player who is focused on managing his t

A quick Google search brings up several platforms for esports coaching. Among the most notable is Gamer Sensei , which gaming hardware company Corsair purchased late last year. Still, with its sleek, black design and easy-to-navigate interface, it’s no surprise that Metafy has captured the attention of people such as Naval Ravikant (co-founder and former CEO of AngelList ), Matt Cooper (CEO of Skillshare ), who helped fund a $3 million seed investment round in Janu
