G2 Esports and FunPlus Phoenix in Paris

https://trendyup2date.blogspot.com/2019/11/g2-esports-and-funplus-phoenix-in-paris.htmlThe League of Legends World Championship concludes Sunday with a final match between G2 Esports and FunPlus Phoenix.

One of the planet's most popular video games comes to Paris,,city of lights this sunday.

The finals of the 2019 League of Legends World Championship mark the pinnacle of eSports competition, with nearly 100 million people viewing last year’s event.

Months of intense clashes have whittled 24 teams down to just two: G2 Esports (G2) and FunPlus Phoenix (FPX). It is being billed as Europe vs China, with the home team of G2 hoping to become the first Western team to lift the Summoner’s Cup in eight years.

After unexpectedly beating three-time world champions SK Telekom T1 in the semi-finals last month, G2 are the slight favourites. They also appear to have the backing of the CEO of Riot Games, the game developer behind League of Legends.

At a press conference up the Eiffel Tower on Friday, French CEO Nicolo Laurent described the finals as ”the biggest event in the history of eSports”. When asked if he had a favourite, he hinted that he would be supporting the European team.

Let's see the Key Players:

Key players
Marcin ‘Jankos’ Jankowski plays as the jungler for G2 and his consistent heroics from the shrubbery have provided the solid foundation upon which the team has built its success in 2019.

Jankos, who names Chuck Norris as his role model, is an eSports veteran after five years of top-flight League of Legends competition. The 24-year-old Polish star is only the second European player to reach 1,000 career kills and will be hoping to add to his impressive tally on Sunday.

You need to know that Tickets for the finals at the 20,000-capacity AccorHotels Arena in Paris sold out in 10 minutes.

The best-of-five series between G2 and FPX begins at 12pm GMT on Sunday, 4 November, and will be preceded by a performance from True Damage – an augmented reality hip hop group comprised of League of Legends champions.


Predictions and odds

The performance of both teams through the worlds mean there is little to separate them in terms of betting odds, with G2 placed at 4/5 and FPX at 9/10.

Eventually, it could come down to the individual battles played out across each lane and in the jungle. FPX may just have the edge in the top lane, while G2 are expected to have an advantage in the bottom lane.

The middle lane clash between Doinb and G2’s Rasmus ‘Caps’ Borregaard Winther is too close to call, meaning what happens in the jungle between Jankos and FPX’s Gao ‘Tian’ Tian-Liang.

Yovanovitch, the former ambassador to Ukraine, as she testified during impeachment hearings on Friday, denigrating her career of diplomacy and reasserting his right to remove her. Ms. Yovanovitch had barely started her day of testimony when Mr. Trump weighed in on Twitter as he sought to turn her description of all the hardship posts she had served in against her. “Everywhere Marie Yovanovitch went turned bad,” he wrote. “She started off in Somalia, how did that go? Then fast forward to Ukraine, where the new Ukrainian President spoke unfavorably about her in my second phone call with him. It is a U.S. President’s absol...
