OG 's Dota 2 team is undeniably one of the best eSports teams in the world. They have a long list of achievements, which includes being the only team to win the International two times and in a back-to-back fashion. The team has also won several Majors along the way and other Minor tourname

Force of Nature was an essential item for tanks, due to the amount of self-sustaining healing it gives. This item regenerates 1.5% of your max HP every second, which provides an insane regeneration on top of an additional 200% base regen it also gives. Building Force of Nature with items like Warmog's Armor and Spirit Visage makes tanks nearly unkillable without anti-healing items. Later, Force of Nature's passive transfers to Warmog's Armor , and then removed. These items brought about the first tank meta in League of Legen

Stixxay talked about some of what he learned from his past bot lane partners. Speaking of aphromoo, who was his first-ever support in the LCS, Stixxay praised him for being a "personable" leader. "If I was in distress or I felt like I didn’t know what was going on with the team, he was always the guy that I’d message late at night and be like, ‘Yo, can you help me work through this because I just don’t know what’s going

From within the depths of the Shadow Isles, there is a great tragedy; the tragedy of the Hapless Aristocrat. This story is far less wholesome or inspiring than that of Cithria’s. It all begins with the card "Arachnoid Sentry," with a gentleman caller approaching a house with a smug grin and four roses. From the card’s flavor text it’s revealed that he’s expecting dinner with some woman he’s fallen hopelessly in love with. But instead of being greeted by a beautiful woman at the door, he’s face to face with a giant spider and everything begins to unravel from th

Overall, without innovative and creative performances from OG's full active roster from 2018, Dota 2 could be more of a lackluster eSport than its ever been. Mainly because playing Dota 2 is a puzzle, and it's always different, but the guidelines for playing it are still the same. What OG did was completely go beyond that and create their own guidelines, for example, Topson plays absurd heroes for mid lane, Ana abuses his opponents as IO core, and Ceb takes a break when his team fights and then Axe calls. Together they made a team of unpredictability and top-tier skill, both of which are the ingredients to making history. So without the unquestionability of how an event will progress or turnout, it leaves the world disappointed that Dota 2 may never get as significant as it did when OG owned the professional scene. However, there is still hope. OG will play at ESL One Los Angeles Major Qualifier for a spot in the third Major of the sea

Additionally, OG announced that its position-three player Jesse "JerAx" Vainikka will be spending his days off the stage. JerAx has officially retired from professional Dota 2 and will not be on the front line of OG's active roster. He hasn't left the organization, but he will be supporting from the sideli

Bardle Royale (Paranoia): It's a bardle royale, but everyone has the nearsighted debuff and can only see what's close by. Champions with AOE skillshots like Brand and Vel'Koz can fire away until enemies inevitably get chunked or kil

As sad as it may be, accepting the reality of the situation is the first step of starting the next chapter for fans. But don't fret, there is hope. OG revealed last year that a new Dota 2 minor branched team would take its place at the backline of its active roster, the team is called OG Seed. OG Seed recently participated this month at Maincast Winter Brawl and placed second. This initial step could promise new takeovers for the active roster line in the future if they do w

Talking about some of what the Counter Logic Gaming management provides for the players, "It's really helpful... we have two, maybe more, people that come in and help us with physical training," explained Stix

However, there's a fun layer of story to the MOBA Game tournaments's world that the average player might not know. Hidden within the cards of Legends of Runtterra, players can often find stories that are linked through the games card art and flavor t

What makes this so broken was that the passive could stack with multiple Black Cleaver's , allowing about 150% armor shredding. With this, champions abilities that hit multiple times rapidly can destroy someone's armor to the point they are doing true dam

The next time Cithria makes an appearance is in the card art for "Vanguard Squire." Here, Cithria is shown to have become a faceless soldier within the Demacian army. Her voice lines and flavor text indicate that she is still just a humble soldier trying to do her part in any way she can. That is until her final appearance in the card "Cithria the Bo

In some player's eyes, the current Black Cleaver is a shadow of what the original item once was. In early season 3, Black Cleaver has armor penetration as a base stat and shreds past 40 armor on full sta
