This upcoming League of Legends off-season is going to bring some interesting changes

More than likely we are heading into the biggest western League of Legends roster shuffle to date. After a horrid post-season for both the LCS and LEC, plenty of teams are likely rebuilding their rosters from scratch. To make things even worse, the best the west had to offer did not come even close to contesting the LCK and LPL at Worlds ’22 while being relatively dominant domestically. We already have hints of some big roster moves coming our way, and more to come post Worlds.

League of Legends 2022 World Championship – Group B spotlight Part 1

DK has been the most successful Korean team in the “modern” League of Legends era (around 2 to 3 years). Knowing that, the Korean representative captained by ShowMaker and Canyon did have an underwhelming 2022 compared to previous achievements. The bot lane roster switch and the return of top lane prodigy Nuguri to the squad, netted only a third place finish in the LCK.

LPL strongest players, who to keep an eye for in the 2022 League of Legends World Championship – Part 3

Since back in 2019, we have been able to experience one of the best bot laners in League of Legends history. And after winning a Worlds trophy in 2021, Viper is coming in as the most lane dominant bot laner in the tournament. Viper managed to thrive last season even when the meta was focused outside of the bot lane. What separates Viper from all the other bot laners, is his clutch mentality. Viper stands out after tough situations, definitely being the comeback king in Worlds finals last year and in the LPL 2022 Summer Playoffs.

The best youngsters at the League of Legends 2022 World Championship – Part 2

The League of Legends 2022 World Championship is an incredible time for League fans and the esports community as a whole since they get to see their favorite squads and players fighting for the coveted Summoner’s Cup and the bragging rights of being a world champion. Since the organizations have to manage incredible mental resilience and consistency throughout the year, Worlds is absolutely full with talented and mechanically skilled players looking to prove that they are truly worthy of the spot and a chance at the title. Youngsters and rookies usually have the biggest hunger to show their talent during the event, not only to justify their current spot on a team but also to secure a juicy contract for the upcoming split. Even though their gameplay may be a bit rough around the edges to be up to the standards of Worlds title challengers, youngsters regularly have a different approach to the game that can counter the current meta and result in never before seen strategies shown in the biggest stage. This year’s Worlds tournament is filled with talented rookies and debutants who will stop against nobody to try and take the newly renewed Summoner’s Cup. Here’s our second list of all the rookies and Worlds debutants who have the skill ceiling to turn the scales in their favor in such an event like Worlds. -Flakked In the same line as Berserker, Victor “Flakked” Lirola Tortosa joined G2 Esports after bot laner legend Martin “Rekkles” Larsson’s departure from the LEC as a whole, meaning he was needed to fill up some big shoes on the franchise and show that he deserved his spot as G2 Esports’ next bot lane main. Even though there were, as usual, some doubts around the situation, Flakked absolutely stepped up with statistics such as having a 100 percent win rate on champions like Draven, Sivir, and Aphelios during the entirety of the Summer split, he showed his talent and potential is more than capable to be a replacement for Rekkles. Outside of that, his incredible performance during the 2022 Mid Season Invitational was nothing less than extraordinary and truly was his breakout event, with a total 83 percent win rate on Kai’Sa and a 100 percent win rate on Zeri similar to the LEC. -Zeus Choi “Zeus” Woo-je is by far one of the most exciting players who will be participating at Worlds 2022 thanks to his incredible adapting skills and huge champion pool, his methodical yet aggressive gameplay, and definite carry potential if given the resources for it. He achieved some impressive statistics in the 2022 LCK Summer Split, such as a 71.4 percent total win rate on Gangplank and 3-0 records on both Gragas and Camille. Zeus is no stranger to the biggest stage, however he is still considered a youngster similar to his teammates Oner and Gumayusi. Zeus will be looking to show why he is still considered one if not the best top laner in the world, even after a dodgy LCK Summer Split.

They fought hard against XL, but have later destroyed both Misfits and MAD Lions 3-0 and 3-1 respectively.

TSM was considering to leave LCS for LEC according to reports

If we take a look at the whole picture, this wouldn’t be an insane move from TSM. They’ve been struggling in many aspects, not only in their results. Their CEO was recently sanctioned by Riot Games after verbal assault allegations, their LCS squad isn’t looking that great at all, and there is so much drama surrounding this organization as of lately.

The 2022 LLA Summer Split is a close fight between 7 teams

In almost every single split of the Latin American League, we only see 2 or 3 teams as strong contenders for the title, while the rest just fight for a chance at getting a spot in the playoffs. Usually, by the 2nd or 3rd week, we already know which teams will be playing in the grand finals, or at least, we have a clear idea on which teams will be in the top 4.

Royal Never Give Up or T1, which team is looking better so far?

When it comes to the 2022 MSI, two teams stand out above the rest by a huge margin. Although in prior years we’ve seen many upsets, like back in 2019. We had a NA vs EU grand finals, where Team Liquid, the team that beat world champion Invictus Gaming in the semifinals, would try to take down a G2 that had just defeated Korea’s SKT T1. It’s crazy to think that something like that happened not too long ago because now coming into the 2022 MSI, it seems very unlikely that we’ll see something similar happen.

TSM drops mid laner Keaiduo, IMT signs Golden Guardians ADC Lost

Zhu “Keaiduo” Xiong will be leaving the TSM academy roster after not finding the desired results during the Spring Split. The 20-year-old Chinese mid laner was the main mid laner for TSM in the LCS but was later replaced by TSM Academy mid laner Takeover. If we take a deep look at TSM’s spring split run, it would be unfair to blame it all on Keaiduo as they were having clear issues on every lane. TSM’s lack of success was completely unexpected as this organization has been a top 3 team for the entirety of the LCS history.
