Upstairs

There have been many rumors about Team OG in the recent past. Apparently the opinions about the course of the tournament and success differ greatly. For the year 2018, the team could not show any notable successes and many bad followers speak more of a surprise qualification. Nevertheless, the team does not look at an empty medal wall in the living room, as they won the Kiev Major in 2017. Furthermore, the team was able to pocket money and titles at the Manila Major 2016, the Boston Major 2016 and the ESL One Frankfurt 2016.
The wound is still severe when Miracle, moonMeander and two other team players left the team in 2016. Only N0Tail is still considered a real veteran (team captain) and tries to give the games the decisive impetus. JerAx plays in place of Cr1t emeritus and seems to be doing a good job from appearances so far. All in all, however, realistic expectations are required and the team lacks a lot of gaming experience and coordination (newcomers Ana and Topson) with each other. Despite their international success in the previous two years, the team will still have to train a lot to have a chance on the podium next year.

Biggest success so far:  Winner of the Manila Major 2016, Frankfurt Major 2016, Kiev Major 2017 and Boston Major 2016

Team Roster:

• Carry: ana
• Mid: Topson
• Offlane:  7ckngMad
• Roamer/Support:  JerAx
• Hard Support: N0tail  (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.
