The 2nd day for 2018 All-Star Las Vegas took place on December 7th; even more numbers of fans came to visit on the 2nd day than they did on the 1st day. We had the chance to interview Jun-Sik ‘Bang' Bae, who received a lot of attention from his fans with his Xayah cosplay on the 1st day of the event. Following is the video of the interview where Bang talk about his Xayah cosplay, what he talked about with Sneaky, and his message for his NA fans! This is your first time playing in All-Star tournament. How did you feel after playing on the stage? I've played in about 3 matches, and it is just fun. It's been a while since I could play in a tournament laughing like this. We can't leave out your encounter with Sneaky. It has gotten a lot of attention since the fan votes.

The Nexus Blitz was followed by the 2nd round for 1vs1 Tournament in All-Star 2018 Las Vegas. The round began with the match between KR Faker and EU Jiizuké; Faker picked Urgot while Jiizuké picked Jayce. Jiizuké's Jayce closed on Urgot, using Exhaust first. However, Faker's Urgot fought back, using both Exhaust and Ignite. Jiizuké's Barrier could not save him from the damage and was killed eventually.
The 1st round for 1vs1 Tournament in All-Star 2018 Las Vegas took place on December 7th. The tournament began with NA Doublelift and BR brTT; Doublelift picked Neeko and brTT Miss Fortune as they both had most of the AD Carry champions banned. Doublelift's Neeko defeats brTT's Miss Fortune using his R + Q. The following match was between LPL Rookie and LAS Plugo; Plugo picked Jayce while Rookie picked Yasuo. Both players had Ignite, which Rookie uses with his Flash to kill Plugo in the end. The 3rd match was between KR Peanut and BR Rakin. This time, it was a Draven mirror with the mirror Runes and spells; they even had the same skin on. The game began with careful CS farming at first although Peanut managed to push the wave with few hits landing on Rakin.
The 2nd round for the 2vs2 Charity Tournament in All-Star 2018 Las Vegas took place on 7th. The Captian Jack & Faker duo who have made it from the quarterfinals played against the NA Doublelift and Voyboy duo. Both teams mirrored Thresh and Alistar, in which the Doubleboy team wins and gets to donate $100,000 to charity under their names. The first match in the quarterfinals began with Captain Jack & Faker against LEC's Caps & Alexelcapo. Captain Faker, which have displayed impressive performance in the 1st round, got both Lucian and Alistar banned and got to pick Varus and Xerath. AlexelCapso's Lissandra and Morgana got to get the first blood. They were able to eliminate Faker with their CC combo when he didn't have his Cleanse. However, Captain Jack's Varus was able to make up for that 1 kill by calmly blocking enemy's additional attacks. The team that got to laugh at the end was Captain FAker.
But for Adrian “Lifecoach” Koy and Mirijam “Wifecoach” Koy, all of that is automatically included. After taking on poker, Hearthstone, and Gwent, the happily married couple now has their sights set on Valve’s Artifact.
General Manager "san alex" and Head Coach "PiPou" made roster decisions that have ultimately taken Samsung Morning Stars to the most success to date.

Jake “SolidJake” Kulinski’s involvement in the Heroes of the Storm scene pre-dates the release of the full game being available to the general public. Between masterminding what is arguably the most popular Heroes’ podcast, TownHall Heroes, to casting the amateur Open Division scene and launching a community funded tournament with a $10,000 prize pool, Bloodlust, SolidJake has seen and done it all. While the list of accolades continues further in Blizzard games and the fighting game community (FGC), SolidJake has accomplished all that he has despite failing to look out for ‘numero uno’...himself. As long as his wife and her family’s business is taken care of, as long as the Blizzard community is taken care of, as long as the players and talent around him are taken care of, Jake is fine operating at a loss and putting himself at risk. The consummate ‘fall guy’ as it were. That’s not to say he hasn’t had opportunities to put himself first and selfishly look to further his career in the entertainment business; it has to be on his terms after everyone else around him is first taken care of.

It's now December, the final month of the year, and the trading window is in its last stage. Most of the teams have completed their team rosters and coach lineups, and have started their preparation for the upcoming year. During the stove league, we interviewed several players who will be facing new challenges with new teams, one of them being Sang-Yun “Sangyoon” Gwon, who successfully managed to renew his contract with Hanwha Life Esports. Hanwha Life Esports made some significant change to its lineup during the hot stove league. Among their top, jungle, and mid laners, the only player that got to stay was Tae-Hoon “Lava” Kim. On the other hand, all 4 bot laners, including the sub-members, got to stay. Hanwha completed their 10-man roster before any other teams could and began their preparation for 2019. Now Sangyoon, who has been with Hanwha Life Esports for 3 years now (including his time with the old ROX Tigers), will be entering the LCK with new teammates.

The All-Star Rivalry Show Match between the NA LCS and EU LCS took place in Las Vegas on December 6th. It was a match where pros and streamers got together to compete. Sneaky, who played in the mid lane, stood out even from the early laning phase. He displayed aggressive plays with his LeBlanc and got 3 kills before 10 minutes had passed. Licorice, who had played accordingly to his original role, picked Lucian and comfortably pressured the lane against Wickd. It seemed as if NA had the most momentum at first, but the tide turned during the mid phase. EU Jiizuké's Cassiopeia got a solo kill against Sneaky and eliminated the enemy jungler who came to back up. Simultaneously, Caps and NoWay got kills against Doublelift and Imaqtpie in the bot lane.
