Mineski

Everyone knows Mineski, but not much is known about the team apart from their fans. Because the great successes are either not remembered or have not taken place. Don’t worry, we’ll shed some light on this. First of all – the team has not yet taken part in any The International and we congratulate the coach and players on their great personal success. Because in 2017/2018 the team made a name for itself in a few smaller tournaments and qualified as a result.

The Mineski Roaster is accordingly inexperienced, or in other words – full of youthful zest for action. Only Ninjaboogie has been around since 2016, making it a team veteran. At the moment, however, someone else is making a hit and Iceiceice on the offlane is celebrated by the team and feared by the opponents. Maybe it will be the offlane that can lift the team to the next round. However, the odds are slim and we’ll just have to wait and see how the team fares in the tournament. Here are the facts:

Biggest success so far:  Winner of Dota 2 Asia Championships 2018

Team Roster:

• Carry: Mushi
• Mid: Moon
• Offline: iceiceice
• Roamers/Support: Jabz
• Hard Support: ninjaboogie (Captain)

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.
