Top Builds From NA LCS Week 1
by Aidos June 17, 2013
NA LCS is back!! There were some great games and tons of exciting plays. The games showed just how even the teams are heading into the season, with Cloud 9 setting themselves a step ahead of the pack. The close level of play we've seen so far will force these teams to bring out new strategies, champions, and builds to throw their opponents off guard.
I’m highlighting these builds because they were either something new, unorthodox, or simply used to their full potential.

Floating on Cloud 9: Responding to Adversity and Power Spikes
by Alan LaFleur June 12, 2013
If you've followed our coverage of the North American scene, you know that we [url=http://www.mobafire.com/esports/news/na-lcs-summer-predictions-have-the-mighty-fallen-288]really like Cloud 9[/url] because in our eyes they have [url=http://www.mobafire.com/esports/news/cloud-9s-8-minute-domination-of-curse-academy-286]the total package[/url]. However, yesterday was their real test in their first day of LCS competition with TSM and Dignitas on the schedule.

NA LCS Summer Predictions: Have the Mighty Fallen?
by Aidos June 9, 2013
The North American LCS is almost back!! The competition for the top spot in NA is tighter than ever. Talent-wise this is an extremely close group of teams that will vie for first place. This summer split is harder to figure out than a spring season that saw two up and coming teams, Team Coast (formerly known as GGU) and Team Vulcun, take 2nd and 3rd place respectively in the playoffs. However, I’ll predict the positions these teams will place by the end of the summer season [b]regular standings[/b].

by Alan LaFleur May 29, 2013
The 2nd and 3rd day of the All-Star weekend in Shanghai showcased phenomenal play. There were upsets from underdogs and stomps by favorites. There was also plenty of pride on the line in every single game and extremely high level of gameplay demonstrated throughout the weekend.
Here are the builds that were interesting. I chose these builds because they was something new or the level of play was so high that it needed highlighted. read more (8 comments)

Jungle Gragas Pubstomps in All-Star Finals
by Aidos May 27, 2013
In the final game of the All-Stars showdown in Shanghai, Korean jungler inSec pulled out the unorthodox jungle Gragas (GRUNGLE). Grungle has been a niche jungler pick for a while. However, highlighting Grungle on the All-Stars grand stage will surely make waves in solo queue, just like Diamondprox popularizing [[Volibear]] and [[Nasus]] jungle to the scene. inSec's stellar play with Grungle in game 2 of the finals helped Korea sweep China 2-0 in the finals to win the All-Star showdown. Here is how inSec played his jungle Gragas and how it can be so potent.
