Toggle📊 Meta Watch: Mage Junglers & Tanky Gold Laners Rise
In recent weeks, teams have been experimenting with non-traditional picks, including mage junglers like Lylia and Valentina, as well as tank gold laners such as Benedetta and Fredrinn. The result? More unpredictable drafts, longer team fights, and thrilling comebacks.
“The meta is very flexible right now. It’s not just about assassins anymore,” said Blacklist coach Bon Chan in a post-match interview.
Analysts note that early-game sustain and team fight control have become key win conditions, especially in a playoff-style format.
🔁 Roster Moves: ONIC PH Brings Back Veteran Midlaner
In a surprise move, ONIC PH has reactivated veteran midlaner Jay ahead of their playoff push. Known for his map awareness and calm shot-calling, Jay’s return is expected to stabilize ONIC’s mid-to-late game, which has been inconsistent this season.
Meanwhile, Echo continues to dominate the standings with its core lineup led by KarlTzy, who’s currently the top-performing jungler in the league based on KDA and jungle control rate.
