Going into the League of Legends World Championship match-up today, the question wasn’t if the Korean powerhouse team SKT was going to lose to Taiwanese challenger ahq e-Sports Club. It was: “Will ahq manage to take a game or two off of SKT’s perfect winning streak?” SKT just answered with a resounding nope. SKT is…
Riot just reintroduced one of its whackiest creations back into League of Legends, the company’s inexplicably popular team-based multiplayer game where angry little gerbil things do battle against gigantic, vicious dragons. Only this time it’s missing everyone’s favorite bloodthirsty fuzz monster Teemo. “One For All” is a special alternate game mode that Riot first put…
Today’s League of Legends World Championship quarterfinals games are just getting started. It’s Korean powerhouse SKT 1 playing against Taiwanese team ahq e-Sports club. SKT 1 has even brought out its star player Faker for this one. My main question is: does ahq stand a chance? Watch Worlds on YouTube or Twitch.
The longstanding Dota 2 pro team Na’vi announcedthis morning that their current team roster is officially calling it quits and saying “GG” for the last time. And so ends the storied career of one of the longest-standing and most beloved teams in Dota 2’s eSports history. Na’vi’s decision to jettison their current roster and start…
Origen has only been a bona fide League of Legends pro team for a year now. And today they just won themselves a spot in the 2015 World Championship semifinals. Talk about beginner’s luck! Origen secured a spot in the semifinals today after beating Taiwanese League team Flash Wolves (FW) in a best-of-five match-up. This…
Taiwanese League of Legends team Flash Wolves was widely expected to beat European opponent Origen today in the World Championship quarter finals. The first game has probably changed some people’s perspective on the match up, thanks to an Origen landing a pentakill so efficiently they made it seem…casual. 30 minutes into the match, Flash Wolves…
After a disappointing run at the 2015 League of Legends World Championships that ended with their elimination on Sunday night, the Team SoloMid (TSM) is quite literally falling apart. The team just revealed three of its top players are stepping down, just days after their last loss at Worlds. In a statement posted on the…
One of the most memorable scenes in Fast & Furious 6 comes early in the film, when bad guy Owen Shaw drives out of a hideout wrecks the entire London police force using what looks like a giant metal door wedge. YouTuber RUNitsAlpha created Shaw’s killer door wedge in GTA V, and used it to…
The goal in Heroes of the Storm is to fight your way to the back of the enemy team’s base and destroy a structure known as “the core.” The core is normally heavily defended with an outer shield and turrets that make destroying it a risky endeavor. But a newly discovered bug lets one hero…

Teemo, nicknamed “Satan,” is such a famously infuriating champion to go against in League of Legends that many players (myself included) recoiled in terror upon hearing that he was getting buffed late this summer. But apparently his changes weren’t enough, because today Riot came back with even more. For those unfamiliar, Teemo is an adorable…
Well this is bound to be interesting. In it’s never-ending attempts to balance and re-balance its obscenely popular online multiplayer game League of Legends, developer Riot Games just revealed plans to rework aspects of Zilean, an old geezer who uses clock and time-based spells in battle to do stuff like: slow down his opponents, speed…
This is “Gummy King Tahm Kench” by RexSadio. It’s one of the many champion skin concepts that League of Legends fans love to post on the game’s official forums. It’s also a wonderful idea. That’s pretty much all I have to say about it. For comparison’s sake, here’s what the standard in-game Tahm Kench looks…
The first round of the League of Legends World Championships ended on a somber note today for fans of the game’s burgeoning North American region.

The League of Legends World Championship games are back in full swing. The past two days of the group stage haven’t been super exciting, since most everything ended up going the way people thought it would (i.e., the strongest teams won). The next two days, however, should be positively juicey. Here are the top teams…
League of Legends’ stone golem creature Malphite is known as a rock monster, an animate mountain, and an “earth elemental.” Now with the power of premium skins, he’s become what looks like a Transformer that can turn into…a pirate ship? Well, he can’t actually switch back and forth between pirate ship and anthropomorphized autobot-esque warrior.…
Thanks so much for watching. Especially those who stuck it out through my computer crashing. You all are amazing. I had a lot of fun with this and I’m going to try doing more playing-with-the-devs type things—provided I fix my computer first! There’s a tradition in League of Legends where players will reach out to…
I guess getting married is one consolation for not making it past the group stage in Worlds.
The winner of this year’s U.S. League of Legends Championship Series tournament is officially out of the game’s 2015 World Championship. Counter-Logic Gaming (CLG) lost its first two games today, meaning they don’t have enough wins to go past the Worlds group stage. They’re playing their final pride match now.
