Meta Watch: The Impact of Patch 25.14
Patch 25.14 has reshaped how teams approach both drafting and in-game strategy. This update introduced Yunara—a new high-skill ADC emphasizing positioning and late-game carry potential—and delivered significant changes to champions like Kled, shifting him toward bruiser-oriented playstyles. Notably, bruisers and fighters have become even more prominent, while mages like Azir and Ziggs now benefit from buffs, fueling more diverse mid-lane picks. The bot lane continues to be a major focus with the rise of on-hit builds (thanks to buffs to Blade of the Ruined King and Kraken Slayer) and tank supports seeing slight nerfs, paving the way for skillful enchanter players to shine.

Disguised vs Shopify Rebellion – A Critical Test for Emerging Talent
One of the most anticipated matchups of Week 2 is Disguised vs Shopify Rebellion. As an underdog, Disguised—led by the experienced support huhi—faces a daunting test against Shopify Rebellion, a team that displayed exceptional teamwork in Week 1, highlighted by ADC Bvoy’s clutch performances. For Disguised, breakout mid-laner DarkWings will be key if they hope to topple the favorites and shake up the standings.
Player Spotlight: Yeon (Team Liquid ADC)
Team Liquid’s Yeon burst into Split 3 with an exceptional 18/3/17 KDA against 100 Thieves, showcasing refined mechanics, expert movement, and near-flawless synergy with support CoreJJ. His adaptation to the new ADC priority within the meta—and synergy with key patch 25.14 items—makes him a crucial player to follow as Liquid aims to maintain its lead, especially against LYON in their next clash.
