Why teamfighting will be the key for 100 Thieves at Worlds 2022 (Nerd Street)

It's League of Legends Worlds season and with that comes hope for every region to outperform expectations and create lasting storylines.

Abbedagge knows it, and the rest of the team believes in it. There’s a reason 100 Thieves ended up as the runner-up to the momentum of Cloud9; sometimes the drafts and the teamfighting do not go together. “It comes down to studying more VODs and other teams’ styles and what other players do with their champions, the reviewing with the team and extensive talks. It was more about controlling the map and ultimately never being in flux. Against Evil Geniuses in the LCS Championship in the final game of the series, the first big fight started with better control wards and vision. Much of the talk revolves around Cloud9’s reintroduction to the world stage and the continuing growth and potential of Evil Geniuses, yet it is 100 Thieves’ potential that may trump all the above.

Here's every minor region representative at LoL Worlds 2022 (Dexerto)

Unsure who to root for in the play-in stage of Worlds 2022? We've got you covered, with our handy guide to every minor region team at Worlds 2022.

They’re not the flashiest, or the best performing, of the play-ins teams. The LLA have, we’ll be honest, not had the best of showings internationally in recent years. But despite the youth of the org, the roster is chock full of veteran PCS talent – they’re a perfect microcosm of some of the best the region has to offer. In GAM’s absence from MSI 2022, Saigon Buffalo captured the hearts and minds of international fans with their first-ever appearance on the international stage. Expect fighting from minute one, and also expect them to be able to get some real solid hits in against the major region representatives in their group. This will be LOUD’s first Worlds, with the org only having entered League of Legends in 2021. Here’s a comprehensive guide to every minor region team at the 2022 World Championship, and why you should show them some love. And while Xin Zhao’s not exactly the height of a meta pick right now, the carry jungler spirit never dies. And it’s not like the minor regions just show up internationally to play a few games and go home. Unsure who to root for in the play-in stage of Worlds 2022? They bring meta innovation, surprise upsets, and the kind of scrappy confidence that can only come from those who have nothing to lose and everything to gain. All have thriving English-language broadcasts, and all receive a deserved amount of attention throughout the year.

League of Legends analyst and content creator Nick "LS" De Cesare released his annual Worlds 2022 competitive tier list for every role.

[game-changing 12.10 Durability Update](https://www.oneesports.gg/league-of-legends/patch-12-10-durability-update/), she has received multiple buffs while other AD carries who were once unrivaled. In the jungle, recently buffed champions like Hecarim and Fiddlesticks are likely to excel, while Fiora is the sole Z-tier champion he placed in the top lane. The base AD and AD ratio of her Headshot passive were increased, while her ultimate, Ace in the Hole, is slightly stronger based off her critical strike chance. “Lux-Seraphine as a combo is very, very strong against pretty much every single bot lane duo,” explained LS. It doesn’t reflect the state of solo queue or pro play, which have different tendencies, and will present tier lists for those separately.

Is the European dream still alive? The region's hopes and ... (Dot Esports)

After an eventful year, and an even more lively Summer Split, the four teams representing Europe at Worlds were solidified: Rogue, G2 Esports, Fnatic, and MAD ...

But Rogue’s mental resilience and synergy on the Rift, combined with the individual talents on the roster, make them a formidable opponent in the group stage of the competition. But after the changes to its roster, G2 have improved tremendously, even crowning the newcomers, Targamas and Flakked, with the title of LEC winners during the Spring Split. Despite being the first LEC team to qualify for the World Championship, G2 Esports were not a dominant team during the 2022 LEC Summer Split. MAD Lions are a part of the LEC duo that will have to face the play-in stage before potentially entering the main event of the World Championship. In their 10th appearance on the World Championship stage, Fnatic have a lot to prove, mainly that they’re not a contender that should be underestimated. When the 2022 League of Legends World Championship starts in just a few hours, European fans will finally get to see some of their best teams compete on the biggest stage.

And while Chiefs Esports haven't yet been to Worlds as a team, each player in its current roster has recent Worlds experience, so they won't be intimidated by the international stage. The team have never made it to a major international tournament before, but after a truly magnificent lossless season, which ended on a record of 21-0, it was clear that this squad deserved a Worlds place. Meanwhile, Group B contains the indomitable DRX, who managed to snag the last spot available in the League of Legends Champions Korea league after a thrilling comeback in the Regional Final. Despite having only joined the LEC in 2020, the team hasn't missed a Worlds yet, and are hungry to prove themselves with some international silverware. Group A features Australian team Chiefs Esports Club, who secured their spot in the Play-In after an absolute triumph of a season in the League of Legends Circuit Oceania, going 21-0 in the Regular Season and losing just one game in the Playoffs. The top-ranking teams of the regional leagues have all immediately earned a place in the Main Event, but there's still a chance for teams that just missed out to make their mark on the tournament with the Play-In stage.

SGB Froggy makes a splash at Worlds 2022 with mid lane Zac (ONE Esports)

SGB Froggy unleashes champion Zac in the mid lane against Istanbul Wildcats in the Worlds 2022 Play-In Stage.

Froggy also elaborated on how he finds more exotic picks for the mid lane. I tried it out and it really suits my playstyle of pushing lanes and then roaming to the two sides,” he said. During the Summer Split, he was getting auto-filled into the top lane during ranked games, where he would use Shyvana, a meta pick at the time. Saigon Buffalo then went for Soner “StarScreen” Kaya’s SejuaniÍ since he got caught in the crossfire. Farfetch tried to flash into the Drake pit for a quick escape, but Nguyễn “Shogun” Văn Huy’s Miss Fortune eliminated him with Bullet Time. Bùi “Froggy” Văn Minh Hải excelled in catching out champions during team fights with Zac’s crowd control-heavy abilities.

After the two matches on Day 1 of Worlds 2022, AFK Gaming had a one-on-one interview with MAD Lions Armut. We talked about meta and threats MAD faces.

As closing thoughts, MAD Lions Armut confidently stated that the team’s run this year at Worlds 2022 would be much better than what transpired in 2020. They always make it up because they are close friends.” The top-laner also revealed that Elyoya has the stronger voice and that he controls the game. The LEC was allowed to bring four teams to Worlds 2022 this year since the League of Legends Continental League (LCL) could not send a representative. Notably, when the first match of the day began after a long delay, MAD Lions was handed first blood on a silver platter as Isurus’ support Son “Jelly” Ho-gyeong was caught out on the bottom side river by three MAD Lions members. “We were not really hyped or something because the game was still not won so we did not chill.” He added that the team asked UNF0RGIVEN not to chase Azir for the pentakill after which it took down the Ocean dragon. The overall performance of MAD Lions in the opening two matches was praise-worthy but it did have a few notable hiccups in the mid-game stages.

There were some back-and-forth objective fights and steals, but eventually, the difference between the ADCs' impact was too much for RNG to come back. The recipients for these early fights were the ADCs, especially HolyPhoenix who cleaned up the Herald fight. Finally LOUD is here as they demolished DFM in the fastest game of Day 1. Fnatic did a good job of opening the game early and slowly choking their opponents out of it, and they put the finishing touch with an Upset pentakill. Even with Chiefs throwing most of their early game attention to the bot lane, Fnatic did a great job at covering and Rhuckz was once again massive with his engages. - Barons: 1 – 1 Eventually, IW showed that they can also make bad decisions and took some bad fights. Despite the overwhelming hope from the Brazillian fans on social media about LOUD making waves in Worlds, it was Beyond that had an amazing start to the event. The bot lane of Upset/Rhuckz did a good job of taking advantage of the mistakes from EG’s bot lane, while the top side of Fnatic had complete control over the map. The first battle between EU and NA, albeit with subs, came with great hype behind it. The first game of Worlds 2022 was expected to be a quick one as the LEC fourth seed faced the champions of LLA.

Zac mid has stunned fans at Worlds 2022: here's how it works (Dexerto)

Here's our guide to the first off-meta pick of Worlds 2022 -- Zac midlane, as picked by Saigon Buffalo mid laner Froggy.

Farming on Zac, especially in the mid lane, is a pretty hellish experience — Bami’s will help counteract some of that, and also give you a nice injection of bonus damage when you’re fighting melee units. If you want to do damage, then pick up a Demonic Embrace. These are the runes that Froggy ran in his 2/4/11 victory — the magic resist shard can be swapped out for health depending on the opponent. In SGB’s win versus IW, the Zac picked enabled SGB to pick up a secondary tank in their draft without forcing carry top laner Lâm ‘Hasmed’ Huỳnh Gia Huy onto a utility pick. Zac mid lane also tends to run Conqueror as his primary rune, which gives him an immense amount of sustain in fights that matches Sylas’s inbuilt healing. With the current meta focusing on bot lane carries, Zac mid is a tank pick that’s low-resource/high-reward.

LoL Worlds 2022 breaks 1 million viewers on opening day of Play-Ins (Dexerto)

The 2022 World Championship has gotten off to an impressive start, breaking 1 million viewers on the first day of the Play-In stage.

The 2021 broadcast averaged over 150,000 more peak and average viewers than 2022 — which, while not a tragedy, sets a worrying trend for the remainder of the tournament. Although the opening day of the tournament was plagued with pauses, viewers flocked to Twitch and YouTube for their first taste of international League of Legends since the Mid-Season Invitational.
