A few days after his first matches with Counter Logic Gaming, Damonte spoke to Inven Global about his friendship with Dignitas jungler Matthew "Akaadian" Higginbotham and reflected upon his first week with his new team.
Inven Global spoke to LCS pros during week 7 of the Summer Split to get their thoughts on Counter Logic Gaming's roster management and the potential impact Damonte's joining will have on the team.
After its most recent loss to FlyQuest, Counter Logic Gaming's record through 14 games of the 2021 League of Legends Championship Series Spring Split has fallen to 3-11. At 11 losses, CLG has become the second team after Golden Guardians to be mathematically eliminated from qualifying for the 2021 LCS Mid-Season Showdown, which is the post-season tournament taking the place of the Spring Playoffs.
CLG mid laner Eugene "Pobelter" Park joined Inven Global for a brief interview to discuss the win against Immortals, the context of his return to CLG's roster following the arrival of jungler Mads "Broxah" Brock-Pedersen, and how and why CLG has improved upon its shoddy mid and late game to go along with a surprisingly strong early game.
Roughly a week before the LCS 2021 Lock-In, Counter Logic Gaming had multiple members on its professional League team catch COVID. CLG is also experiencing visa slowdowns. They've signed two temporary subs, here is their new roster:
CLG has had a rough few years since their 2016 MSI Finals appearance. They performed well in NA in 2017, but barring a 2019 Summer Split third-place finish, they've been seventh or lower for the other five splits. In 2020, CLG finished 10th in spring and ninth in summer. With that in mind, the org is in need of some rejuvenation to find their return to glory. They've officially signed three new pl
After failing to qualify for LCS playoffs in both spring and summer, CLG has parted ways with both of their coaches, SSONG and Weldon. Read more about the change here:
With only two games left before Playoffs, CLG is reportedly benching their League Championship Series Mid Laner, Pobelter, who re-joined the team partway through Spring Split. Read on his benching here:
Wednesday morning, CLG tweeted out that former mid laner, Pobelter, would be re-joining the team as starting mid laner after a 1-7 start to the season. Pobelter replaces Crown, and will hope to help the team turn around their season. Read more here:
Team Liquid has had multiple visa problems this year, but the team has kept positive and worked out a solution for the time being. Here's what Pobelter and Broxah have to say about Liquid's current predicament:
It doesn't need to be said, everyone knows that NA has a serious crush on imports. The franchising and Scouting Grounds were supposed to help, but they haven't done enough. NA needs some changes to help keep its domestic talent relevant.
Clutch Gaming Mid Laner Tanner "Damonte" Damonte joined Inven Global's Nick Geracie after the match to discuss defeating FlyQuest, his solo lane synergy with Heo "Huni" Seung-hoon, and look ahead at tomorrow's rematch against CLG.
In his first split as Head Coach, Gabriel "Invert" Zoltan-Johan led FlyQuest to a 4th place finish in the 2019 LCS Spring Split.
Jensen joined Inven Global following TL's triumph over FlyQuest to reflect on the series, the team's improvements, and defeating the mid laner he replaced in Eugene "Pobelter" Park.
WildTurtle sat down with Inven Global after defeating TSM to talk about FlyQuest's hot start, his new teammates, and the improvement mindset.
One week of play in the 2019 LCS Spring Split is too small of a sample size to make any definitive conclusions. However, the first weekend of games in North America gave some first impressions to be analyzed, and also raised questions to be answered as the season progresses.
Pobelter sat down with Inven Global after his team's opening day match against Golden Guardians to discuss the victory, FlyQuest's relative strengths, and his rollercoaster of an off-season.
