"We're actually planning on moving to EU-W for good after Kiev as we figure there is more competition there in ranked teams than on the NA server"

Pretty controversial stuff, though the stats do prove that EUW is best for competitive play.

I wonder if we'll be seeing any other moves from NA following TSM. Read More

Singed has recently appeared as one of the best junglers in the game.

Dyrus gave him a whirl and has got him VERY popular.

I can honestly say I agree with his judgements, basically, Singed is an amazing champion late game, and can freely farm in the new jungle, and the new jungle is very, very complimentary to people who can farm well, and as we all know, Singed farms like a BOSS.

Dyrus has been playing Singed in tournaments recently, and honestly I hope we see a lot more of him. Not too much, though, because he'll be nerfed! I really do see Singed becoming a first ban first pick... Read More

You're at a hotel which you paid for.
The manager thinks the tiled roof (which has had no faults at all) is faulty

Jungler
AD and Support bot


Now, a great example of this would be using Rock Solid/Dignitas as an example. Take when they used Gangplank as a... Read More

Just as a little insight into the situation, Guinsoo posted on the US forums and twitter a while ago (since he doesn't post on the EU at all - I might get some of this wrong, but from a collection of tweets and posts, I've found a lot of it out myself) about a few jungle changes/reworks that will be coming in soon.
Edit: Here's a link to some of the stuff caught on his twitter. http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/attachment.php?attachmentid=223225&d=1310934858

Basically, to sum it up -
1. Reduces effectiveness of counter-jungling
2. Decreases camp respawn times, but... Read More
