VIT Perkz: "It's taken me some time to understand what my team needs from me in a given draft and situation"
Teams can play hot and cold. Sometimes, it's a matter of when that happens that teams are able to find success. A perfect example of that is Team Vitality. Although the team has faced many struggles throughout the majority of the year, they have ramped things up at the perfect time to likely qualify for Worlds and win the LEC. It's a good scenario for Luka "Perkz" Perković. Overall, it's been a disappointing year for one of the greatest western players ever to play League. After a disappointing playoffs performance in the spring, Vitality's first few weeks in the LEC 2022 Summer Split were not...

G2 Broken Blade: "I'm very confident — I still think we're gonna win the split."
The regular season of the LEC 2022 Summer Split is coming to a close. There have been many notable developments. Rosters like Team Vitality and MAD Lions have risen to become some of the best lineups in Europe. At the same time, teams like Fnatic and G2 Esports have been having difficulty replicating the success they experience in the spring. For G2, the optimism for fans has changed rapidly with each week. The team had a rough slump that significantly changed their spot in the standings. Even in their victories, the team doesn't look as strong as their form earlier in the year. Inven Global s...

KT VicLa: "Chovy doesn’t make mistakes. I don’t think I’m on his level; I’d say I’m right underneath him."
On day 42 of the 2022 LCK Summer split, kt Rolster defeated DRX 2-0 in the second match of the day. KT took a pre-20 minute victory in both game 1 and 2, displaying a clear difference in skill over DRX. Lee “VicLa” Dae-kwang, the mid laner for KT, joined the press room at LoL Park for a post-match interview. Thoughts on the 2-0 victory over DRX? I thought about how we can definitely beat them 2-0 tonight, but the victory was much cleaner than anticipated, so it’s almost a bit baffling. I had faith that we could play out teamfights much better than our opponents tonight. Looking at KT’s recent ...
