If there’s one thing that teams in 토토사이트추천 the LEC are known for, it’s their ability to defy any and all expectations in crucial moments. Fnatic did just that on the second day of the group stage at the 2022 League of Legends World Championship, running through a team many are expecting to lift the Summoner’s Cup once more.

Fnatic have advanced to the top of group A in a shockingly dominant victory over the LCK’s T1, marking yet another chapter in their Worlds story 메이저사이트 since qualifying from the play-ins stage. From beginning to end, T1 could not match the tempo of their opponents from the LEC, having misplaced the communication across the map that has led to one of the successful years in the history of the organization.

Two of the best bot lanes in the world

Fnatic’s bot lane pair, Upset and Hyllisang, locked in Lucian and Nami almost immediately, despite the combination having been nerfed heavily. Because 메이저토토사이트 of these nerfs, the Fnatic bot lane have refrained from locking in these two champions together for the entirety of their Worlds run thus far—yet with only so many options left after the ban phase, they locked in the pair almost without hesitation.

An early misstep from T1’s jungler, Oner, provided the Fnatic bot lane with a sizable lead, but that alone would not be enough to deter the duo of Gumayusi and Keria, who together helped to bring T1 one of their most successful years in history. Gumayusi expending crucial abilities was the signal for the Fnatic duo to dive straight into him, quickly amassing more deaths as the LEC representatives focused heavily on this side of the map.

The massive lead that Upset had secured over his lane opponent made it dangerous for the T1 bot lane to even think about stepping up to him. With Razork at the helm stopping enemies from accessing Upset in the back line, the ADC was free to melt his enemies with ease, even using his mobility to dangerously dive into enemies and secure kills, rather than back away.

Upset and Hyllisang walked away from this decisive victory with not only a combined 8/3/25 KDA, but the satisfaction in knowing they had thrown off the momentum of the three-time world champions in their first defeat of Worlds 2022.

The LEC is here to win

Following this victory for Fnatic, each LEC representative at this year’s Worlds have emerged victorious in their day two matches, giving the region a headstart in three of the four groups.

For Fnatic in particular, the road to this point has been anything but smooth. Between a rough Summer Split that almost removed the organization from Worlds contention for the first time in its history, to having to first qualify for groups through one of the most competitive play-ins stages in recent history and experiencing major set-backs from COVID pre-Worlds, the LEC’s third seed needed to overcome mounds of obstacles to get to this point.

Razork, who is making his debut at Worlds this year, proved to be one of the most defining factors in Fnatic’s win today after tracking Oner around the map for nearly the entire game. Though most of the kills landed in the hands of Upset, it was Razork that enabled his veteran ADC to become the powerhouse that he would end up being almost as soon as the laning phase ended 토토사이트

In the post-game interview with Sjokz, Upset acknowledged that this snowball through the bot lane was only possible through Razork, helping the bot lane pair to advance out of a “close” laning phase.

While at the top of group A for now, Fnatic have yet to play against the reigning world champions: the LPL’s EDG. They’ll have the chance to do so tomorrow to end the first weekend of the Worlds 2022 group stage.

For three years, the VCS has been unable to take part in the League of Legends World Championship. Thanks to the difficulties in traveling due to COVID, the talented players from Vietnam have been forced to watch the biggest international 메이저놀이터 event from afar, uncertain as to when they’d be able to return.

Today, the VCS made their triumphant 메이저토토 return to the Worlds stage in the form of GAM Esports, the team that has controlled the Vietnamese scene for nearly two years to earn their spot as the region’s first seed. Unfortunately for GAM, their first game back had them staring right at the LPL’s second seed, Top Esports, who turned their valiant return into a wake-up-call.

Welcome back to Worlds

While the VCS’ official return to international tournaments was at this year’s MSI, their representative was Saigon Buffalo, not GAM Esports. Therefore, GAM had quite a bit to prove to the world in their first match of Worlds, as they have not been seen internationally since representing the VCS at Worlds 2019, where they were unable to progress out of groups.

GAM sought to follow the slow, more methodical playstyle that earned TES a top finish in the LPL. But in a sharp pivot to the strategy, as soon as members of the GAM squad gained access to their ultimates, they came together to catch the LPL representatives in their blind spots. Yet jumping straight into a W from Tian’s Poppy brought the team back to reality, handing over four quick kills that turned into a near-unstoppable snowball lead for TES.

Every teamfight, even if initiated with strong engage from GAM, turned in the favor of TES. Mark’s Yuumi hopping back and forth between the members of TES kept them healthy enough to run through all of GAM’s players, while Tian’s Poppy ensured that engages from Bie’s Rell would prove futile and even backfire for the VCS representatives.

While this was only GAM’s first match of the tournament, they face an uphill battle following this loss to TES, as soon they’ll have to face some of the best players that the LEC and LCK have to offer. Though this game proved their team-wide communication is strong, successfully committing to those plays can take them to the next level.

Ice, ice baby

One Everfrost wasn’t enough to satisfy TES’ hunger for a win. Instead of opting for a standard Mythic item like Moonstone Renewer, or focusing more on damage with Luden’s Tempest, Mark instead built an Everfrost on Yuumi. Regardless of which carry he attached himself to, this unorthodox Mythic item allowed the TES support to further inflict crowd control on his enemies outside of the slow on his Q and root with his ultimate.

When attached to Knight’s Ahri in the mid lane, who had also built an Everfrost, no member of GAM was able to move past the immense amounts of CC. This combination of damage, mobility, and CC—when combined with a bit more damage and healing from Yuumi—turned Knight into a one-man wrecking machine capable of starting and ending fights as soon as he entered them 메이저토토사이트

Thanks to this assistance from the Magical Cat, TES’ carries ended a sub-25-minute game with a combined 17/2/25 KDA, while Mark himself earned a 3/0/20 scoreline, even out-damaging multiple players across teams.

Following this game, every team competing in the Worlds group 메이저놀이터추천 stage has competed in at least one match thus far. All of the LPL representatives have earned at least one win, and are on the cusp of ending the first weekend of groups at or near the top of their respective groups. GAM will compete again tomorrow against Rogue, while TES will face DRX to close tomorrow’s action.

League of Legends is a competitive game where periodic updates and changes always cause the meta to evolve. While champions can become dominant in specific moments of the season, others have stayed in Summoner’s Rift for 토토사이트 almost the entire year.

Here are the five most picked 안전놀이터추천 champions in professional play this summer.

5. Zeri

Not only is Zeri one of the most banned picks in professional play but she also is the most-played marksman in the 2022 season. Ever Since she made it to 토토사이트추천 the public servers at the beginning of the year, the Spark of Zaun was omnipresent in competitive.

Despite the numerous nerfs and attempts at tuning her down, players were always able to find new ways of making her relevant. Her long-range poke with her W and ability to kite enemies infinitely made her the perfect late-game carry.

No matter the region, Zeri was a pick-or-ban for the majority of the season, until she was hard-hit with major nerfs that made her obsolete before the 2022 League of Legends World Championship. Despite that, she still has a 64 percent pick and bans presence, according to Games of Legends, and it will likely stay above 60 percent when the season ends.

4. Nautilus

Thanks to his powerful kit, the support champion was the most popular pick for the year. While he hardly ever was the best pick for any given patch, his abilities made him the best champion when it came to engaging and making picks around the map.

His hook or his ultimates are perfect tools for pinning enemies down and paired with the slow from the E as well as the root from his passive, Nautilus guarantees you enough crowd control. It’s exceptional when you want to play aggressively and look for openings to punish.

His stats, however, aren’t the greatest. Despite being the fouth most-picked champion in the world this season, he only has a 50 percent win rate, according to Games of Legends. The champion has clear weaknesses and in a season mainly dictated by enchanters, Nautilus didn’t find much success. Nevertheless, he hasn’t been touched by the balance team and he will likely stay as the most picked support for this season.

3. Viego

Riot Games is known for wanting to push the newest champions in competitive play, and Viego was no exception. That said, Viego didn’t have much success this year, as his win rate is the lowest among the top five, currently at 47 percent.

This is mainly because tanks and utility-based junglers fit better in this year’s meta. Viego was one of the few carry junglers to still be relevant, and the fact that he could possess souls and use other champions’ abilities made him a valuable pick.

The downside of picking Viego was the difficulty in giving him resources and the transition into the late game. With the introduction of the durability patch, all champions became harder to kill. It became a great indirect nerf for a champion like Viego, who based his strengths on bursting enemies and getting resets. Nevertheless, players still love to play him, making him one of those “evergreen” champions that people are willing to play even when they are not meta.

2. Gnar

Despite being dependent on his switch of forms, Gnar is one of the game’s most complete and all-rounded champions. The yordle has both the kitability and mobility with his mini form and the tankiness and crowd control with the Mega form. It’s basically a bargain: you pick one champion to get two of them.

The champion is also not that hard to pick up and master and players love to abuse the enemies with the range advantage of his mini form. Not to mention that he has a game-changing ultimate with his Mega form, which is perfect for engaging or turning around teamfights.

Paired with the fact that the champion only has a few bad matchups, Gnar has been of the best picks for this season, especially as a blind choice.

1. Wukong

The Monkey King is and will be the iconic champion of the 2022 season. After the balance team pushed him as a jungler, Wukong has had the highest pick or ban presence this summer, with an incredible 84 percent and a 57 percent win rate.

In a meta dictated by prolonged teamfights, bruisers like Wukong are the best picks possible. He offers tankiness, damage, and sustain, making him almost impossible to kill.

Despite Riot’s intention of nerfing him down as it did with Zeri, Wukong continued to be the most popular jungle pick. Just like last year’s Xin Zhao and Lee Sin before them, Wukong has been the go-to jungler in 2022. Now that he received repeated nerfs, Wukong has dropped in priority. With that being said, it is highly unlikely that others will replace him as the most-picked champion of the season 안전놀이터

Another day, another accolade earned by the player 메이저토토사이트 touted as the best professional League of Legends has ever seen.

As of today’s 2022 World Championship 메이저사이트 group stage match against Cloud9, T1’s mid laner Faker has officially surpassed 100 games played across multiple Worlds, consisting of 72 wins and 28 losses.

While this might just be another accolade for the three-time world champion to add to his collection, it marks yet another milestone in his nearly ten-year career no others have yet contested.

Many believed this year would be Faker’s opportunity to win his fourth world championship as soon as the year began. T1 had a historic run through the LCK Spring Split in which they went undefeated, only dropping one game in the Playoffs before becoming the Spring champions. This momentum followed them into the Summer Split where the competition in the region grew fiercer, resulting in a second-place Playoffs finish for the team.

Since starting this year’s Worlds through the group stage only two days ago, Faker has yet again been a dominant part in T1’s success, having successfully taken down the reigning world champions in EDG—though suffering a surprise loss yesterday to the LEC’s Fnatic. In both games Faker has opted for Akali, a champion he has a 64-percent win rate across his entire career according to Oracle’s Elixir, that while leads him to struggle in the laning phase, leads to him being a menace in team fights 토토사이트추천

Today, Faker debuted Lissandra at this year’s Worlds to become a major source of engage for his team and giving multiple members of T1 access to a handful of kills. His lane opponent today, Jensen, sits at third in most games played at Worlds at 83, while Team Vitality’s Perkz is second with 86 games played.

Faker’s seemingly-endless League career will continue 메이저토토 into next Thursday, where all of group A will play out their second round robin. This will determine if T1 stays on track to progress towards their fourth championship, or if they are once more surprised.

A fire has reignited for the LCK at the 2022 League of Legends World Championship. The winless day yesterday for the three teams representing 토토사이트 the region acted as fuel for their desire to bring more accolades home—and today, that fire burned bright.

To round out the third day of the group 메이저놀이터 stage, DRX, the third seed of the LCK that fought their way up from play-ins, exceeded any and all expectations through their decimation of the LPL’s second seed, Top Esports.

As soon as the draft phase began, DRX appeared to have crafted a strategy that would earn them a lopsided victory—seemingly getting revenge for RNG’s dominant victory over the LCK champions Gen.G a few days prior.

Complete control of the map

TES’ near insta-lock of Draven for Jackeylove in the first round of the draft phase showed their commitment to the ADC as their win condition. Complete with a Nautilus and Vi at his side, DRX had to prepare themselves for heavy focusing from their opponents from the LPL on the bot side of the map—forcing DRX to institute some mind games.

After meeting Tian in the jungle a few times in the early game, Psyosik shifted his attention to the top side of the map for some gold in the hands of Kingen, despite knowing this would lead the TES jungle to collapse on the DRX bot lane.

But this appeared to be exactly what DRX wanted.

Knowing Tian was on his way down the Rift, DRX’s mid laner Zeka rotated as well, catching the opposition before they could earn more than one kill and leading his team to pressure Jackeylove into a large deficit.

In doing so, DRX completely silenced the LPL-favored crowd in the Hulu Theater—stagnating cheers filling the arena as DRX continued to cement a massive lead.

TES’ last resort was to initiate fights themselves. Yet, their all-in composition backfired immensely as Zeka’s Sylas stole valuable ultimates for himself, not only refusing to allow the enemy team to overlook him but proving to the world that he deserves to be part of conversations regarding dominant LCK mid laners.

The LPL’s second seed could only earn two kills in this entire game, one at the beginning and one at the very end, before DRX laid waste to their nexus. Multiple DRX fans in the audience were moved to tears as they witnessed the LCK underdogs emerge victorious from what many believed to be a clear win for TES.

Toppling the giants

Heading into the play-ins stage, fans were uncertain as to how DRX—the fourth seed of the LCK—would perform with the massive disparities in experience among the members of their team. DRX had not taken part in last year’s Worlds following the departure of Chovy and Keria, leading to instability within the team that was only answered with further roster changes this year.

Yet it was that uncertainty from fans and players alike that fed the momentum of DRX, allowing them to run through the competition of play-ins undefeated and bypass the qualification and elimination rounds completely.

Now, by successfully predicting TES’ game-winning strategy within the first few minutes of the game, DRX has secured their biggest win of Worlds thus far and advanced in their group to tie the team they just defeated 메이저토토

Tomorrow DRX will face GAM Esports to close the first half 토토사이트추천 of the Worlds 2022 group stage, inching closer to the possibility of quarterfinals qualification.

If DRX can bring this aggressive early style—one uncharacteristic of the LCK—into their next matches, there will no longer be any reason to doubt their capabilities.
