Even though a champion in League of Legends can remain recognizable and relatively powerful for over a decade, sometimes their kit just doesn’t tnsfer to professional play easily. Yet under the right circumstances, these champions can become the secret weapons that opposing teams simply would never expect to see.
During today’s LCS Spring Split week six match between Evil Geniuses and FlyQuest, longtime LCS top laner Ssumday surprised FlyQuest and fans alike by bringing Garen, the Might of Demacia, onto the Rift as an answer to Impact’s K’Sante. This marks the first time that Garen has ever been played within the LCS throughout its 11-year history, despite the champion having been present in the game since 2010.
