When Lukas "Lurox" Thoma joined Schalke 04 at the start of the League of Legends European Championship Spring Split, he was hired to play in Schalke Evolution—the academy team. However, after the main roster had greatly underperformed, Lurox was called into action: he replaced Erberk "Gilius" Demir as Schalke's main jungler. We sat down with Lurox at the start of Week 4 of the LEC's Spring Split. He told us about his experience stepping on the LEC stage, and explained what he will bring to Schalke 04 to help the team improve as the split progresses.
Jungler Anastasiya "HellMa" Pleyko briefly talked to us about the biggest challenges the team faced while in the league, and why the skill gap between the league teams was so wide, leading the team to perform 0-28 in the last season.

As Riot Games promised, this week we'll see a far more impactful patch to Legends of Runeterra. After the previous one, which went live two weeks ago, addressed mostly bugs and other client-side issues, this one is aimed at keeping the meta balanced and fresh. In other words: card nerfs and buffs.
The first all-female organization in the world to join a top-level League of Legends esports league has been left out of the competition for the year due to its' poor performance.

Set 2 is closing in on its end in Teamfight Tactics. As the developers announced in January, Set 3 will go live somewhere around mid-March. New champions, new traits and origins and probably new items will flood the auto battler. However, until then, the development team is mostly focused on tweaking Set 2 minimally. Keep things in check, as they say, and hope the meta stays fresh. In patch 10.4, which goes live later this week, Riot Games is making very few adjustments.
The team has been doing pretty well so far in the Spring Split. What's the atmosphere like in the group? Yeah it's been great so far, except for that one loss against Misfits, which shouldn't have hap
The bot laners of each region took their spots as the leaders of KDA in their respective regions. In the LCK, LPL, LCS, and the LEC, there’s an interesting trend in data (gathered up to the 17th), which is similar across all four regions. Bot laners of each region were in 1st place in KDA, and currently, there are two players that have a perfect KDA. In the LCK, All iN, the mid laner for Afreeca Freecs is a player that currently holds a perfect KDA. Previously known as SSUN, he only played two games in the league, so this data may not hold too much meaning. Even still, All iN played Pantheon in both of his games and with a total score of 5/0/13, he holds a perfect KDA.
Dignitas snapped its losing streak against 100 Thieves to start Week 4 of the 2020 League of Legends Championship Series Spring Split. The team got off to a hot 3-0 start, but then lost as many games in succession as other teams in the LCS began to synergize. DIG went back to the drawing board and got creative to get itself out of its funk. Ornn was drafted for Mid Laner Henrik "Froggen" Hansen, and Heo "Huni" Seung-hoon threw the LCS a curveball by locking in the infamous top lane Soraka. Dignitas' trust in innovation paid off, rallying around the Miss Fortune of rookie AD Carry Johnson "Johnsun" Nguyen for the team's fourth victory of the season. After besting 100 Thieves, Huni sat down with Inven Global's Nick Geracie to discuss the team's adjustments heading into Week 4, top lane mages, and DIG's identity amongst its LCS peers.

It is evident that G2’s roster had been shaken from yesterday’s unexpected loss against Misfits Gaming, but undeniably, Schalke 04’s roster changes have proven to be the right decision as they showcased much stronger, agressive form.
