JerAx said to OG, » I have no willingness nor passion to play Dota 2 anymore, and I have trouble fitting myself into my competitor’s shoes.» Which means just like Ana, JerAx also continues to face the underlying problem that is having to face the same challenge you’ve already completed. By the look of things, the issue isn’t that they don’t have the skills to play, it’s that they don’t have passion. It’s unknown if whether the rest of OG’s Dota 2 team feels the same, but if they do, this could mean the end for OG’s competitive reign in Dota
In their game against Excel, after a team fight win in the mid lane, the team split up. Kobbe went to push the wave in the top lane, while Iván «Razork» Martín went for Rift Herald and the rest of the team stayed mid to take the to
Yone’s addition to League of Legends is significant, as Riot Games realized they struck gold when they released Yasuo in 2013. Yasuo has remained one of the most popular champions in League in the seven years since his release, and it’s apparent Riot wanted to take extra care in crafting a character to represent his brother. Yone is already a hit, making huge waves in the League community before he’s even made his way off of the Public Beta Environment. Along with the re-release of the League of Legends game mode Nexus Blitz , Yone’s release is sure to bring countless players to the Rift again, or perhaps even for the first t
Despite the rocky start to 2020, the Counter Logic Gaming roster believes in themselves to turn it around this summer. And even if fans of the LCS may be doubting their ability to, Stixxay is certainly
Counter Logic Gaming’s Trevor «Stixxay» Hayes has been through it all. He first joined the League of Legends organization as a substitute back in June of 2015. Nearly a year later, the bot laner won the 2016 North American Spring title in his first ever LCS sp
W: Spirit Cleave — Yone cleaves forward in a massive arc dealing a portion of the target’s maximum health. After successfully hitting an enemy Yone also gains a temporary shield. The shield’s power increases per champion str
For emerging victorious in an event, all members of the winning team are granted a temporary or permanent buff. Depending on the prize, it’s either a small benefit or one that drastically tilts the MOBA Game Advanced Tactics in that team’s fa

Last Saturday, OG revealed that the carry god himself, Anathan «Ana,» Pham would be taking an extended break and coming back next season. OG stated that Ana would be returning for the Dota Pro Circuit season of 2020-2021 to play as OG’s front line carry posit
Battle Sled: A respawning sled appears in base that can be steered by the first player that climbs into it. Other allies can hitch a ride by jumping onto the sled and everyone will explode out upon colliding with terrain or an en
Not only is he constantly getting nerfed and buffed, his kit just isn’t fun to play against and he’s a very «feast or famine» champion. Though his swamp/Catfish aesthetic is fantastic, Riot would basically have to completely rework his kit as opposed to performing surgery on some of his abilities for the champion to operate in a more balanced
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
However, the community remained adamant in their love for Nexus Blitz which resulted in Riot finally bringing it back, with a few changes, until the end of Spirit Blossom 2020. For first time Nexus players or returning veterans, there are several things to keep in mind during a chaotic Nexus Blitz ma
Stixxay described the veteran’s impact on the team, «When he came in, he would just point out very basic things like, ‘Guys we knew their jungler is right here, why are you dying?’ Stuff like that. Where nowadays, that’s obviously very straightforwa
Scuttle Racing: 2 Rift Scuttlers race down a track from top lane to the bottom lane. Champions with CC are extremely valuable in slowing down the enemy Scuttler, but the allied Scuttler is also coded as a champion so it can be buffed, sped up, or thrown across the finish line with some interacti
