Yinsu Collins casts an eye over the past week, as rapper Drake and Twitch streamer Ninja set new records.
Match of the Week: Team SoloMid v Golden Guardians
Team Solomid destroyed Golden Guardians in the North America League of Legends Championship Series on Saturday.
It was a game that TSM absolutely had to win in order to stand a chance to make it to the playoffs. It also meant that promising side Counter Logic Gaming would be eliminated from playoff contention.
Soren 'Bjergsen' Bjerg, TSM's reputable mid laner was a man on a mission, finishing with a perfect KDA of 7/0 after picking up first blood on Ryze.
In just 28 minutes, TSM turned their season around and went on to crush CLG 24 hours later.
Finishing the week undefeated, TSM were left in a four-way tie at 11-9 with Cloud9, Clutch Gaming and Team Liquid.
After overcoming Clutch and Liquid with another perfect KDA for Bjergsen, TSM secured third place meaning they'll face Clutch again for a shot in the semis against Echo Fox.
Drake and Ninja set records on Twitch
On March 15th, Twitch streamer Ninja paired up with rapper Drake on his Fortnite stream and broke the record for most concurrent viewers on an individual's channel.
Nearly 650,000 people tuned in to watch the pair team up on Fortnite before being joined by Travis Scott and NFL wide-receiver Juju Smith-Schuster.
Ninja, a former Halo pro player, exploded onto the Twitch scene and broke a stream of records such as all-time subscribers at 180,000 and 3.5million followers.
