What Happened To WB's FIVE Shared Universes

What Happened To WB's FIVE Shared Universes

"G2 are inevitable. G2 are inescapable," proclaimed LEC caster Aaron "Medic" Chamberlain as G2 Esports brought down the nexus of rival Fnatic, sweeping the 2020 LEC Spring finals, their third consecutive and seventh title in franchise hist

Believe it or not, the Spring Split of the 2020 League of Legends Championship Series is already past its halfway point, and teams and players are starting to see themselves separate from the rest of the pack. Cloud9 leads the way, extending their dominant streak and continuing their quest for the coveted 18-0 undefeated season. Flyquest, now in sole possession of 2nd place, impresses once again and they now sit comfortably behind Cloud9 at 7-3. TSM continues to flip-flop between strong and shaky weeks, but the Bjergsen-led squad rounds out the top three at 6-4. As they and the rest of the players fight it out on the rift to distinguish themselves and their teams, some performances stood out from the r

This phenomenon might be what has to led to him being the most banned top lane champion in the game with an insane ban rate of 67 percent. However, he wouldn't be banned so much if he wasn't so viable in-g

There used to be a time when nobody in Europe knew what a "G2" was. Or maybe they did, but they thought it was just something you drank during a workout. In late August of 2015, the European League of Legends Championship Series was barely three years old and Fnatic was fresh off their second consecutive title, winning a whopping five out of the league's first six. Meanwhile, an organization called Gamers2, owned by Carlos "Ocelote" Rodriguez Santiago, had been battling their way through the EU Challenger Series for the two years prior, trying to earn themselves a spot to compete in the European

With the season just halfway through, it can be argued that all five Cloud9 members are worthy of winning the Spring Split MVP. Each of them are dominating in their own way, but perhaps none are more deserving than Zven. Playing excellent both mechanically and mentally, Zven along with his support Vulcan have dominated the bot lane this season, and week 5 was no different. Zven played an excellent Varus against CLG, who Cloud9 unsurprisingly beat. What was surprising, however, was Cloud9's choice of bot lane in their second game against Immortals. Zven actually played "support" Senna, while Vulcan went Tahm Kench, acting as the "carry." This is a strategy similar to what Dignitas Academy employed in their matchup against Golden Guardians Academy, where AD carry Fenix went Senna and support Olleh went Galio. Fenix "supported" Olleh as he farmed with Ga

Garen currently enjoys a 51 percent win rate and while that isn't the highest on this list he does enjoy the lowest ban percentage out of all the current S rank champions at 13.57 percent. His simple kit and seemingly infinite heals for himself make him a solid frontline for any t

Cosmic and Dark Cosmic Lux are both Legendary skins that are variants of each other. Similar to Dawnbringer and Nightbringer Soraka, they are not package deals, but single skins each. Both cosmetics feature outer space vibes, black holes, and planetary aspects. The only difference is that Cosmic Lux consists of blue, white, and purple hues, while Dark Cosmic Lux is much warmer and features purple, pink, yellow, and orange shades. Both skins are legendary tiered cosmetics and will go for 1820 RP, which also makes it the last skin tier for Lux. And makes Lux the first champion to receive a skin in every skin t

Dump points into Reap in early game, a few into Terrify mid-game, and then a bunch into Bountiful Harvest at level 14. The idea is to use your scarecrow wards to keep tabs on enemies to prevent them from getting objectives done and making progress. It’s a bit of a challenge, but with some skill you can keep the enemies guessing and buy valuable time for your teammates to get stuff d

2019 marked the league's rebrand from the EU LCS to the LEC, the League of Legends European Championship. In their fourth year in the League of Legends walkthrough, G2 would drop the bombshell of the decade by signing former Fnatic mid laner Rasmus "Caps" Borregaar, and moving Perkz to the AD carry position. The team would go on to sign Mihael "Mikyx" Mehle as w

Riot Games have released official information about League of Legends Patch 10.6. The approaching update brings the usual balances and statistical champion changes. But it will also deliver some much-awaited skins for forgotten champions. And a legendary set of Lux skins that are out of this wo

Fnatic cleanly swept them 3-0 and won the 2018 Spring Split. The European fan-favorites would win again during the Summer 0f 2018, while G2 suffered an early exit from the Summer playoffs at the hands of Misfits in the quarterfinals. Despite the somewhat disappointing 2018 Spring and Summer Splits, G2 secured themselves a spot to compete in the 2018 World Champions

With a team composed of Wunder in the top lane, Jankos in the jungle, Caps in the mid lane and Perkz and Mikyx in the bot lane, G2 would find their old form. This roster, composed of faces both old and new, gelled together in a way that was previously unseen. Caps unlocked something, and the team started to win again. But this time, they weren't villains, they were her
