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

Even greater is the territory division with the top half of the map having a scorched forest compared to the more natural green woods of the bottom chunk. It's amazingly fluid and helps new players get deep into the game's more complex characters more eas

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

Blood Rush is also a very important part of Draven's kit. Movement skills are vital in League of Legends and this ability affects that a good deal. There's not as much to consider with the W ability, but when using it, remem

This tournament is just about the largest tournament of the year, and people often travel all around the world to watch it live. It's big enough that many who don't care about Dota 2 take it in as part of their own curiosity (an audience few Esports tend to be capable of attracti

The one, the only, the Moonstone Renewer. This item is the opposite of exciting, on the surface. Other items create impressive AoE effects, or amplify damage, or allow users to gain a second wind during a long fight. They create more damage numbers, and that's great. However, the Moonstone Renewer exists to fight back against damage by making it look like it never happe

It should be obvious, but competitive gamers often need to be reminded of one simple fact: being uncooperative and aggressive towards teammates is the quickest path to defeat. Remember that the team functions as a unit and that while teammates might be on different skill levels, that's not an excuse to be toxic towards th

League of Legends is essentially a game of attrition, at its core. The goal is not to take on opponents head-on, but rather to collect resources, XP, and slowly but surely crawl ahead of the enemy team. Each champion in the team takes their place in one of three lanes (or the jungle) and collects XP and gold from fallen enemy mobs while taking out that lane's defensive tow

Beyond its large audience, the game is also one of the largest and deepest to play thanks to over a hundred champions and weekly updates that alter the game's balance and mechanics. It's incredibly hard to put down yet also easy to get engaged in climbing the ladder with friends or on your own every few nig

Their passive abilities, however, is where much of their power is loaded. Both increase their respective defensive stat with minion kills. Seeker's requires a bit more scaling, but the value is fairly equal. Most mages already will build Seeker's against an AD midlaner, but Verdant Barrier needs to be considered against AP-reliant compositions. For example, a Lillia/Syndra midlane combo would be ideal to build Verdant Barrier against. While not exciting items, defensive power is a great way to guarantee a player can scale into later stages of the g

The rush of getting a kill in League of Legends is a tempting reason to rush past enemy towers and chase down an opponent. No matter how many kills a player gets, though, they are weighed down by the number of deaths they have endu

When asked about the platform's target audience, he told me that all types of people seek coaching for games via Metafy. Some examples include a 70-year-old who wants to improve at chess and 14-year-olds who want to defeat their friends at the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Further, he noted that some parents seek coaching just so they can play games more effectively with their k

Due to his passive ability, Spinning Axe is the absolute bread and butter ability for this champion. The best Draven players are able to balance three axes at once when pushing waves into enemy turrets. When using the Q Ability, consider t

Alternately, if you've never watched one of the introductory sections of a league of legends 2v2 of Legends Championship Series (LCS), you've missed out on some incredible shows. These events absolutely cater more to the fans of the game with some featuring live music concerts with stars around the world like (G)I-DLE and Madison Beer to introduce the final games of the official competitive sea

It's impossible to talk about either of these games without mentioning the competitive scene surrounding them. Both titles have highlighted some of the biggest events in gaming history. Few are bigger than The International -- the annual world championship for Dota 2 with increasingly obscene amounts of money on the l
