"If at first you don’t succeed, try, and try again." Those were the words of Gamers2 for those two years as the organization struggled, split after split. Despite his team's poor performances, Ocelote was set on his vision of building a winning team, and was willing to take the necessary risks to do so. On June 2nd, 2015 , the young owner took a chance on sixteen-year-old Luka "PerkZ" Perković to be the team's mid laner of the future, replacing Jérémy "Eika" Valdena

Standard ability distribution, Youmuu’s Ghostblade, and Duskblade of Draktharr are key for lethality, then Grasp of the Undying for incredible DPS in long fights and enhanced sustainability. Overgrowth is also important for getting stronger while you’re minion farm

For the most part this build is meant to capitalize on the team fights that happen in mid-game by using impressive DPS and health steal to stay alive. Press The Attack, Conqueror, and Overheal are powerful runes for this bu

G2 found plenty of success at the 2018 Worlds, defeating China's Royal Never Give Up in the quarterfinals, before losing to the soon-to-be champions Invictus Gaming in the semi finals. Fnatic would wind up beating North America's Cloud9 in the semis and losing to Invictus in the fi

Dignitas went through even more inconsistency in the following Spring Split, benching their new jungler Jonathan "Grig" Armao in favor of Matthew "Akaadian" Higginbotham. After missing out on playoffs, Dignitas dropped Grig and acquired jungler Joshua "Dardoch" Hartnett and top laner Omran "V1per" Sho

After the whole Dardoch situation, many were left wondering just who TSM would announce as their starting jungler. The fan favorites turned in-house, deciding to promote Academy jungler Mingyi "Spica" Lu. Spica made his LCS debut with TSM back in Summer 2019, where he notably stole baron against Flyquest in his first ever LCS game. He then stole baron again in his playoff debut later that season against Clutch Gam

After a series of roster shakeups and additions, notably Mateusz "Kikis" Szkudlarek in the jungle, Ocelote finally built a Gamers2 roster that would find success. Taking down SK Gaming in the promotion series, Gamers2 qualified for the 2016 EU LCS Spring Split. The team would later rebrand to G2 Esports following their qualificat

After just recently sweeping Fnatic in the 2020 Spring Finals, G2 has now tied their rival for most European titles of all time. What Fnatic did in six years, G2 did in just over four. There is no doubt who the real kings of Europe are. But, the team's goals go past winning their region. G2 Esports want to win Wor

Although Top Esports looked phenomenal this tournament, they were about the only ones who did. Both LPL and LCK teams were no strangers to mid-game throws, literally throwing away their advantages and losing games because of

Start putting points in Double Up until level eight or so then focus on Make It Rain, then switch to Strut at level 14. Movement speed isn’t as critical considering you’ll spend most of it tower farming. You want to get strong quickly and harass opponents in the early to mid-g

Just two weeks into the LCS, fans have been able to watch aphromoo play four different supports in four games. The veteran has so far played Leona, Lulu, Bard and Thresh. Despite Dignitas' ugly 0-4 start to the split, aphromoo alongside his AD carry Johnsun "Johnsun" Nguyen have performed well in the bot l

The 2020 Mid Season Cup was no different, with Gen.G being the lone LCK team to make it out of the group stage. Many pegged T1, who recently won the 2020 LCK Spring Split, as the favorites to win the tournament. Despite getting off to early leads in their games thanks to some nutty plays from Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok, T1 looked near-clueless at times, losing their advantages and allowing their opponents to come back and

The rest of the 2016 Spring Split was no different for G2, going 15-3, dropping games only to H2k, Vitality and Fnatic. They finished the split in 1st place, and would soon defeat Fnatic in the semi-finals and Origen in the finals to capture the organization's first title in their first-ever sp

Dignitas rejoined the LCS in 2020 after a two year hiatus by merging with Clutch Gaming. Before the merge, Clutch Gaming represented North America by competing internationally at Worlds 2019. After just one split, Dignitas has replaced every single member of that Clutch Gaming 2Xko roster and missed out on the spring playo

G2 lost their first four games at MSI, ultimately coming in second to last place and missing the playoffs entirely. This was devastating not only to G2, but to Europe as a whole, as this placement meant that the region would miss out on a Pool 1 Seed at Worlds. In regards to their poor play, the organization hastily put out a statement halfway through day two of the event, explaining how the team had taken vacation time after a "rigorous Spring Split." SKT would go on to win MSI, with Faker receiving
