Patch 26.8, Dev Update, & LCS Spring Week 2 with Raz! The Dive Driven by Kia

Do YOU think a modern Masters player could go back to earlier League of Legends seasons and make rank 1? This episode of The Dive Driven by Kia kicks off with that exact debate (and yes, Kobe is VERY confident he could do it). We’re also joined by special guest Raz, who brings fresh insights and opinions on Patch 26.8 and the latest dev updates- including Tahm Kench’s “adjustments” and the addition of WASD controls in ranked. Turning to the Spring Split, our hosts break down Week 2’s matches and look ahead to Week 3, posing a striking question: are we training our rookies to play TOO safe? Raz shared stories of his travel show experiences and the indescribable feeling of being in an arena packed with passionate League of Legends fans so… DON’T FORGET! LCS Spring Finals tickets go on sale on FRIDAY (4/17, for Mastercard holders only) and SATURDAY (4/18, for general sale).
