    Reignover has experienced an in-game problem with his Q ability, Barrel Roll. Referees and technicians will investigate the issue and come to a decision. If the issue is deemed to have affected the gameplay in a significant way, Fnatic could be offered a remake of the game.

  8. 20 minutes in and all is calm on the Riftpublished at 15:53

    Why is this game so slow compared to the first? Both teams have champions who scale well and have multiple carries. Neither team wants to fight early on but rather when they reach the point where they are strong.

  9. What is 'scaling'?published at 15:51

    Richard 'Pulse' Kam
    eSports Caster

    Scaling refers to how a champion grows in power as the game progresses. If a champion has poor scaling, they are strong in the early game but weaker later on. If a champion has good scaling they are the inverse; weak to begin, but will gradually get stronger via items, levels or both.

  10. What is a 'hyper carry'?published at 15:49

    Richard 'Pulse' Kam
    eSports Caster

    A carry refers to a champion who is generally weaker in the early stages of the game but ramps up in power as the game progresses and literally carries the rest of their team to victory, as long as they're protected.

    A hyper carry is a champion who does that - but to the extreme. With low durability, they die fast, but also kill fast and can rip through multiple opponents in mere seconds.

  12. What is 'Kiting'?published at 15:46

    Richard 'Pulse' Kam
    eSports Caster

    Kiting typically refers to a longer ranged champion keeping their target at a distance so that they can attack their target but the target can't return fire.

  14. Mordekaiser, the Master of Metalpublished at 15:44

    Richard 'Pulse' Kam
    eSports Caster

    From his lore, very little is known of Mordekaiser. A giant suit of metal encases an unknown entity. One day Mordekaiser just turned up and demanded to be allowed into the League.

    Mordekaiser had his entire kit reworked recently, gearing him toward the bottom lane rather than his old home that was the mid lane. Morde has a lot of tools when he gets into close range but is mostly defenseless at long range which means as long as your don't get too near, Mordekaiser's effectiveness plummets.

    Mordekaiser's passive allows him to control the Dragon if he assists in killing it. For a moderate duration or until it dies (again), he can have the dragon do his bidding adding a sixth temporary member to the team.

  15. EDG slay the first dragonpublished at 15:41

    Mordekaiser captures the dragon's soul and uses it to siege down the middle lane.

  18. Champion selectionpublished at 15:36

    Game 2 - Fnatic vs Edward Gaming

    Edward Gaming (blue side)

    Bans: Elise, Kennen, Sivir

    Picks: Mordekaiser, Thresh, Rek'Sai, Kassadin, Fiora

    Fnatic (red side)

    Bans: Lulu, Kalista, Tahm Kench

    Picks: Gangplank, Gragas, Braum, Vayne, Azir

    Mordekaiser is a very different champion to grace the bottom lane. Typically long range champions will be the character of choice for the marksman role as the name would suggest. Mordekaiser is melee ranged but if he gets near you, you're probably already dead.

    Gangplank is also locked in, often banned out because of his insane damage output. Gangplank is able to place down barrels which, when detonated by Gangplank, cleave through the health bars of anyone caught in the blast radius.

    This is the craziest champion select we've had so far and we're only two picks in...
