It’s that time of the month again where seriousness goes out of the window on Esports News UK and we gather a selection of memes from yours truly: members of the UK League of Legends scene.
From the UKLC to Forge of Champions and LAN at Insomnia, there were lots of activities in the scene over the past month. Here are some memes in no particular order.
Straight Outta Darkspawn
First up is a rendition of Darkspawn Gaming if they were famous rappers. Because why the hell not?
In just a few hours we have our first #ForgeOfChampions game against the EJBY Brotherhood. See you at 6pm BST. #UnleashYourDemons @LVPuk pic.twitter.com/wWh4tjtVc3

Enclave shenanigans
There was a bunch of memey content around the boys at Enclave this month, from ASMR keyboard unboxings (yes, we’re concerned about the players’ wellbeing too) and that League of Legends final defeat at Insomnia64 to No Ego.

Phil Gaming mean business
Enclave owner Phil ‘Britsaint’ Macartney has spawned his own memes, whether intentionally or not. The LAN team Phil Gaming are named after him – and we got to interview them this month.

John ‘John Allen’ Allen meets John ‘John Allen’ Allen
Imagine if you could clone someone. You’d soon realise said clone would never be as good as the clone of John ‘John Allen’ Allen.

Including this just for the amount of salt and needless drama that followed this tweet on Diabolus’ exit of the EU Masters.

War of the worst
Not a meme, but a nice way to end this month’s roundup with a lighthearted low elo 1v1 between Excel Esports co-founders and brothers Kieran and Joel Holmes-Darby.
Note: Elo may be extremely low.
.@XL_JoeI and @XL_Kieran ended up playing a 1v1 at the #LEC Spring Split finals and lets just say it was rather… “spectacular”…
Catch all that and more in the latest LEC vlog ?

See you next month for more memes and silliness!
