Esports news straight from the Frogs mouth
Yesterday the UKLC’s third tower tournament began and it’s fair to say there were some results that nobody expected would happen.

exceL UK is one of the clear favourites for the UKLC title this split.

Not only is this side playing well, but they are playing with … Continue reading exceL UK’s ADC Innaxe: “MNM is a free win.”
Enclave Gaming‘s run in the UKLC has been a rocky two weeks. Nobody really knows where to place this team, in terms of roster strength. In one hand you see a team which is 0-2.

Week two of UKLC concluded yesterday and we have a new tower champion in Fnatic Rising.

One team that impressed this week were Phelan Gaming, as … Continue reading Phelan’s Jungler Sof: “I’m sure we’ll come back stronger.”
It’s fair to say, day one of the UKLC’s second tournament did not disappoint. From Phelan’s upset win over MnM to Fnatic’s crazy but strong team comp.

After nearly 47 minutes … Continue reading Barrage’s Team Manager Froomie: “Essentially, we beat ourselves.”
UKLC’s second week of action is underway in just a few hours. The scrims have been completed, players have been preparing, and every team should be more familiar with the league’s new system.

Yesterday marked the beginning on the UKLC and also the new tower format that has been implemented this split. Many expected MNM, exceL UK, Fnatic Rising and Diabolus to advance onto day two. They were correct to assume so. However, what caught viewers off-guard was Phelan Gaming‘s valiant defeat against ecxeL’s academy side. Particularly by … Continue reading Phelan Gaming’s Eragon: “It was really our game to throw away.”
