Korea has won All Star's commandingly, leaving other regions to wonder what makes Korea so dominant. While Korean's being more objective focused is part of their success, the actual reason they are so dominant has more to do with their cohesiveness, timing, and analysis of lane matchups. This is demonstrated in nearly every Korean match you can find and is only less relevant in "cheese" games. It's not really surprising that the region that embraces Esports would have the most advanced meta game, still I don't think they are unbeatable and are quite weak to what we in NA would...

Disclaimer: I originally made this rant in response to a reddit thread, but thought it would be useful here, as well. While this blog may contain useful information for play below silver, this rant is directed at gold level play and up.

Every time someone dies at bottom lane, I look at the mini map. Yup, no vision except one lonely ward (which is not nearly enough for bottom lane) and the support ALWAYS has two wards in their inventory, but doesn't ever place them.

I see a lack of vision in a lot of my games and yet the support doesn't seem to know what they're doing. Surely some... Read More

Disclaimer: Please note that these matchups are not guaranteed to win, but are generally good picks against their counterparts. Please also consider that not everyone plays the same and a counterpick for someone else, may not work so well for you. In fact, we all usually main 2 or 1 or 2 heros because we play those heros better than the rest and that is something to consider when picking too.

Hello again, CloudCarry stopping in to share my Ezreal montage from season 3. I took footage from the last 2 months and put together some of the nicer plays with my main hero.

There's ap and ad ezreal games in the mix. I'm probably going to do jax, vayne or teemo montages next. Not sure.

Hello there I'm Cloud and I would like to offer to those that have not seen my last hitting drill a chance to see it. I developed these techniques around mid season one out of necessity and use them every time I play ad carry. I don't go into great detail about different lane matchups or how to trade in this lesson (maybe another time), but I do go over the finer details when you know you are bad at last hitting like I was.

With enough practice even you can get 90 cs per 10 every time like I do now. Coming from a 3 out of 10 average, it feels pretty good to cs near perfectly in ranked... Read More
