Fantasy LCS

Fantasy LCS


Have you ever heard of fantasy football or fantasy basketball? Well in these games you basically pick certain players in a draft and based on their performance during games your team earns points. Every week you go against another player in your league and whoever has more points at the end of the day wins.

Fantasy LCS is just like these games except it is for of course, League of Legends. You will create a league with your friends and then draft 1 top laner, 1 jungler, 1 adc, 1 mid, 1 support, 1 flex player, and 3 alternate players. You will also choose one team. During the games you will earn points based on how good your players and team do. The beta for Fantasy LCS should be out soon.

Osu


Osu is a korean game similar to Guitar Hero but with the mouse. Many league players play Osu because it helps you get better at lasthitting (doing the last bit of damage to an enemy minion which gives you a bit of gold). Since lasthitting is such an important mechanic and Osu can help improve this.

In Osu, you can download a song from the site with a beatmap made by the community, or make your own. To play you just have to hit the circles that appear on the screen, the better you time the clicks, the more points you get. Osu Site
