Two of the LEC’s biggest surprises also played the most EMEA Champions Queue games this split

Around the world, there are some League of Legends players that are born with great mechanical and macro-based skills. But for the majority of the player base, you simply need to put in the time in order to improve, and in Europe, two professional LEC teams have shown that you can break expectations by putting the time into one’s cft.

After watching the North American pro scene gain access to a high-nk, invite-only server called the Champions Queue, high level EMEA League players were given access to the EMEA Champions Queue this past January. Over the last two weeks, high nked players have been battling it out on the Summoner’s Rift, but only two LEC teams have stood tall among the rest of their peers: SK Gaming and Astlis.
