Team Serenity

Team Serenity was founded in September 2017 with the starting five: Doodle, BiG_A, longGGG, mianmian and XCJ. After doodle, all members gradually turned their backs on the team. Only the founding father XCJ is still active and now plays together with zhizhizhi, Zyd, XinQ under captain Pyw. All the new members are inexperienced on paper and there wasn’t much time for the team to gain international experience.
Despite all the criticism, we recognize the strong performance in the qualifier tournament. Although the team had to mobilize all their strength for LGD.Forever Young and Invictus Gaming, Team Serenity still holds the coveted invitation card for the TI8 in their hands. The team is far from being a favourite, but if it can continue the opening games in the class, it could become a feared opponent in the course of the tournament…

Biggest success so far:  Winner of The International 2018 China Qualifier

Team Roster:

• Carry:  zhizhizhi
• Mid: Zyd
• Offline: XinQ
• Roamers/Support: Pyw  (Captain)
• Hard Support: XCJ

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.
