Community Spotlight: Episode 9

Riot·Sep 13, 2014·0 votes·9,011 views

What can I say about the League of Legends esports community? You're awesome. You create some of the coolest stuff out there, and it helps everyone else get closer to the game and the competition. That’s why we want to help you out! Every week, I'm going to round up some of the best interviews, infographics, tier lists--you name it--and put it front and center on Lolesports.com. Have tips? Just drop me a line at [email protected] and I'll take a look! If it’s awesome and esports-related, we want it here.

Videos

If you're not already getting hyped up for Worlds, check out this video! With lots of content surrounding the tough competition like our 'Road to Worlds' documentary and awesome community clips like this, it's getting tougher and tougher to wait. I might be biased toward support players because it's my preferred role (I definitely am), but I thought this video was great. See all the best hooks, flays, binds, and tornadoes of the competitive scene.

Interviews

In the lead up to Worlds, now is the time to get familiar with the International Wildcard Teams if you haven't already. Team Dignitas did a great interview with the captain of Dark Passage about the IWC qualifier experience and how they're gearing up for the big stage.

On the flip side of the coin, you probably already know about Samsung White, but Paravine has broken down their detailed history and how they've become the powerhouse they are today.

I play support, I want to be like these guys someday. Even if I am a girl! Velkoz

no offense. but personally i feel that girls cant get to that level because they lack aggressiveness. Ive played with a lot of girl supports and they play sooo fcking passive.. they like to play sona and lulu and all those stand behind the adc and just poke and heal u while providing ZERO lane presence.. yup thats the typical girl .. but then i have played with really tom boyish girls and they play really aggressive and know what theyre doing.

To figure out what kinda player u are i suggest u playing mid lane. Every girl likes to play ori and lux. dont know why. I hate lux cuz its like a pussy champ where u do nothing but stand at the back and poke.. you never see guys play that champ cuz all the guys like to dive in rather than stand at the back and poke. soooo unless youre the type who can flash ult as sona or annie or like headbutt pulv as ali and not afraid to go in to make plays ... then youre just not gonna be good. you cant be the one who relies on the team to make plays and u just standing at the back and shielding and healing.. thats not a support if thats all youre doing. I main support and mid and I know a lot about supporting.. cuz ya know. im Madlife.

You sound like a guy who blames your support when u loose your lane. Just because you experienced it doesnt mean they all play support and always play passive. I have a friend who doesnt play support and when she does , she picks Pantheon. Imma tell you that madlife ain't nearly as good as her. she be ganking lanes 24/7 and i be just farming 2v1. P.S im a girl too

I gave hint who I play idiot he's right there, and what Gumi is saying is exactly how you sound, you're the one who wouldn't be able to be in a team, blaming your team mates would get you no where and kicked off the team, it's a TEAM game, it doesn't all depend on one person, you have to play TOGETHER, you're just a soloqueue dumb dumb. Now .GET. OUT. Velkoz

Another girl support/mid there. I play agressive, you shouldnt underestimate girls/supports. We can be as competitive as you are. The way you play the game is in no way related to your gender. Nami GL Kozomoi (:
