FNATIC on a huge losing streak

After winning 7 games in a row, FNATIC looked like they were invincible. Their loss against the powerful Gambit team marked their first loss and after that they have been continuously losing games. They have gone on a 6 game losing streak losing to new teams like Millennium and Supah Hot Crew. Has this team lost their luck or are they just in a rough time? One thing is for sure, they need to get their game together so that they don't fall to the bottom of the rankings.

Current Games- 7 wins, 6 losses

Hexakill starts tomorrow!

Since late 2013, Riot has been presenting us with special game modes. This new mode is called Hexakill and presents players with a 6 v 6 game mode. This new mode is sure to create new experiences and even a brand new meta. What could happen with the introduction of another champion? Maybe a new Jungler, duo Top, or even two Supports for the side lanes. One thing is for sure though, this will be an amazing experience for anyone accustomed to the game. See you in the rift and good luck so that you hear the Announcer say Hexakill!

This skin is the only one with a recall animation for Ashe and has the most vibrant colors from all her skins. I hope you have a great Valentines day with your special someone. 

A load of League of Legends news!

Riot decided to unleash a barrage of news updates yesterday that stirred up the community. The biggest news update was the release of Patch 4.2 that brought two new champion reworks and major changes to items and champions. Xerath got a complete kit overhaul and some great particle effects for his abilities. Perhaps the major part of this was that his previously useless skins now have different colorings for his abilities that make Runeborn and Battlecast Xerath very appealing now.

Skarner also got some major changes with his health regen from his e being removed and some bug changes.
For the entire 4.2 patch please visit http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/patch/patch-42-notes . In other news, the path of truth won in North America and everyone that voted will get a special Diana themed icon.

The long awaited Scorched Earth Renekton skin is finally here. Players have been waiting almost a year for this skin and they finally get to try it as it was finally released.

Finally, Vel'Koz has been announced as an official champion. Lets see how he turns out and if the hype for him was worth it.

Curse ends Dignitas winning streak

Team Dignitas's winning streak finally came to an end by team Curse. The surprising pick of Alistar really took DIG by surprise as their early game suffered heavily for it. Curse was very organized in taking the early lead into an amazing win for them that might push them into higher rankings. With DIG's defeat, the only remaining team with a winning streak is TSM with an amazing 9-1 winning streak only losing the first game in the season to Cloud 9.

Sion rework in the works

The long awaited Sion rework is finally starting to come together. The new model looks very nice and fits Sion's lore and character closer than the current Sion. More updates will be coming as time progresses and ability changes might occur as stated in the forums. Sion is currently a mess and riot is trying to fix him so it will take time for the final product to come together.

TSM beats Cloud 9 in a landslide!

After many losses against Cloud 9, TSM finally beats their rivals with a huge victory. While the early game seemed close, the team-fighting phase brought a huge advantage in turn of TSM. The game quickly turned in the favor of TSM and with a baron buff secured by Theoddone as they pushed their way to victory. Cloud 9 is still one of the top teams in NA but TSM showed why they are the best team in North America. The current standings are TSM in first followed by Cloud 9 and Dignitas. Tune in this week to see the continuation of the NA Spring Split.
