Invictus Gaming
Invictus Gaming has regained its old continuity and class and poses a real threat to the tournament favourites. In 2012 the team was at its peak when they won The International. In the years that followed, the team went through a crisis. Many roster changes, many strategy changes – but nothing should really lead to the goal. The franchise Invictus Gaming also suffered from the ongoing lack of success.
In 2016, however, a change was announced and since then Xxs, BoBoKa and Q holding have been whipping the team from tournament to tournament. Just one year later, the bite paid off and the team won the DAC 2017 with outstanding performance. In February of this year, Agressif and Srf were added and support the team veterans for the upcoming major tournament. We give Invictus Gaming a lot of chances to go far in this tournament.

- Carry: Aggressive

League of Legends explained – LoL for Dummies
The name of probably the most influential eSports title of the last few years – “League of Legends” – has been heard quickly; but what exactly it is all about is rather difficult to grasp, especially for the layman. Therefore, this complex game is broken down here to simple basic elements, understandable for everyone.
League of Legends or “LoL” is a video game published by Riot Games and belongs to the genre (game category) “MOBA”. MOBA is a sub-genre of strategy games and stands for “Multiplayer Online Battle Arena” – so it is an online team game that is played on a closed map that is always the same.
On this map, usually the so-called “Summoner’s Rift”, the teams compete in a five-against-five match with the goal of destroying the enemy base, the winner being the team that destroys the enemy’s main building, the “Nexus”. This usually takes between 25 and 35 minutes, but can also take an hour.
Each player controls one of over 140 available champions. These are selected before the start of each game and matched with the team. Each of these champions has its own skillset – i.e. abilities – and thus differs fundamentally from the others. Therefore, on the one hand it is important to perfect these champions as much as possible, but at the same time to know the skills of all champions in order to be able to compete effectively against them. This is also a long-term task, since new champions are added to the game all the time.
