Alex Ich, Darien and Diamondprox will miss Week 6 due to Visa Issues.

Unfortunately, Visas work a little different in Russia than they do for the EU pros. Alex Ich, Darien and Diamondprox will miss their games on Feb.20 and 21st, and Gambit will be required to play with three substitute players (yet to be determined.) This problem couldn't come at a worse time for Second Place Gambit as they are scheduled to face First Place ROCCAT on Thursday. Hoping they can find adequate subs in this short amount of time and still manage a strong showing, as everyone would rather see as fair a game as possible under the circumstances. In the meantime, Fangirls everywhere will keep the welfare of our beloved Russian Overlords in our hearts! :)

Today's Questions: Which LCS Pro or Caster would you most like to have for YOUR Valentine? 

 My Personal Pick : CandyPanda

Because who doesn't love getting candy for Valentines Day?

*Don't forget to vote in 'Cutest Pro NA' poll!*
<--Up top there in the sidebar!

Now...Here's a Valentine's Day Gift from Peke!

And one from Creaton and Araneae:

Cutest Pro NA Competition!

We asked for your nominations and there were some clear cut favorites:

1. Snoopeh

Besides being an amazing Jungler and a ridiculously gorgeous man, Snoopeh has the Snoopeh Stare...a dangerous look of total domination that would have even Christian Grey begging for a spanking. There are few fan girls who wouldn't put him on the top of their list...but he's clearly a man's man too. :)

2. Krepo

Krepo isn't just adorable...he's also an excellent support...the guy we all want behind us when we sneak into the bushes. Okay, let's face it. He is just adorable!!

3. Imaqtpie

They say that one of the main points of attraction to the opposite sex is how they make you feel about yourself. Qtpie may lack classic good looks, but he exudes a shamanistic charm and warmth that makes you feel good about the world.  You can eat a cookie around this man without feeling any guilt. Hell, you can eat a steak, fries and a vanilla shake, smoke a funny cigarette and take a nap on the couch and wake up feeling fine as fuck. He is eternal sunshine. He is peace and rainbows. He's also the only actual American on our Cutest NA Pro list!

Honorable mentions: Yellowpete, Balls, Doublelift and Dyrus all got mentions but not enough to make our TOP Three, and yet, I'm sure ther's not a one of us would kick them out of our lanes. They're all WORTH in my eyes!

Be sure to choose your favorite on my poll in the sidebar above so we can crown "Cutest Pro NA" next week!

EU Spring Split W5D1 Thur, February 13

Today's Matches: 

1. SK Gaming vs Fnatic 
2. Copenhagen Wolves vs Supa Hot Crew
3. ROCCAT vs Alliance
4. Gambit Gaming vs Millenium

Millenium, Alliance and SK will once again look to play road blocks while trying to bolster their own positions in a super tight race for fourth place. Upsets haven't been uncommon this season, and a loss to any one of the tied top three teams could knock them two places back. Who'll taste Victory? Who'll taste Defeat?  Who'll bay at the moon if they win? It's anyone's guess in the EU LCS!

(except for the baying at the moon thing...that's definitely these guys...) 

Vel'Koz, the Eye of the Void Preview

Vel'Koz, the Eye of the Void

They say he's terrifying..they say he's evil..but the first thing that came to my mind was, "What a pretty shade of purple!" Vel'Koz may be a nasty ranged mage, but look at these awesome pink glowies he spits out... 

Neon shinies that kill people! I'm liking!
