League of Legends Mid Lane Mastery


Book Description

As a Master Tier player on both EUW and EUNE servers that cares deeply about the state of League of Legends, I had enough of the lack of high quality educational material about the game. So about a year ago, I used my experience as a real life teacher and high elo player and wrote what turned out to be the best selling ebook about improving at League of Legends on Amazon for Season 6 - 30 Days to Diamond. By the way - an improved, enriched and even more detailed version for Season 7 is out and it's called 21 Days to Diamond and Beyond. Ever since the book delivered on the results it promised, I've received dozens of requests from players asking me to write separate, very detailed books about the roles of ADC, Mid lane, Top lane and Jungle that would be adapted for Season 7. Due to the support I got from my dear readers, I felt motivated to roll up my sleeves and produce the best of my work as a results-oriented League of Legends coach. After countless hours of hard work, I am proud to announce that each of the books people wanted me to write is now available to anyone that is open to learning and is willing to get to that next level as a player in their favorite role. So why is League of Legends Mid Lane Mastery worth your time? If you are still paying attention, I am assuming you are an ambitious, competitive person with a winner's mindset that is interested in acquiring all the necessary game knowledge that will help you improve massively as a Mid lane main. Here is a list of the contributions that this book will make towards your current level of game knowledge: - You will learn what the Mid laner's role and responsibilities are, and there are a lot of specific instructions on what you can do to develop each quality, especially towards the end of the chapter. This includes map awareness, leadership, shot calling and more. - You will learn how to model your champion pool for Mid lane (yes, there is a best way to do it) and how to overcome the disadvantages of facing lane counters. - You will learn the optimal Runes and Masteries setup for each popular Mid laner. - You will learn the intricacies of what you can do to acquire outstanding farming skills. - You will learn the wave management techniques for Mid lane which will help you build a massive advantage over your opponent. - You will learn all you need to know about vision control, which includes the best warding spots for Mid lane on both sides. - You will learn the various ways in which you can influence your Jungler to gank for you more often and give you the Blue Buff every time. - You will learn all you need to know about dominating your trades and how to trade against short-ranged, medium-ranged and long-ranged opponents. - You will learn multiple other principles to dominating the Mid lane (refer to the table of contents). - You will learn the various approaches you should use to extend your advantage and carry your games to victory. - You will also learn all the details you need on how to play when you are behind in lane. - Lastly, you will learn the practical steps that you can take to cultivate an unstoppable winner's attitude that will also help you have more fun with the game. - There also are a lot of general game knowledge golden nuggets thrown all throughout the book to help you in your journey further. I know this is a big list of things and to some of you it might seem intimidating, but I promise you that once you learn and apply the information in this book in your own gameplay, you will transform completely as a player.

Blindsight


Book Description

Hugo and Shirley Jackson award-winning Peter Watts stands on the cutting edge of hard SF with his acclaimed novel, Blindsight Two months since the stars fell... Two months of silence, while a world held its breath. Now some half-derelict space probe, sparking fitfully past Neptune's orbit, hears a whisper from the edge of the solar system: a faint signal sweeping the cosmos like a lighthouse beam. Whatever's out there isn't talking to us. It's talking to some distant star, perhaps. Or perhaps to something closer, something en route. So who do you send to force introductions with unknown and unknowable alien intellect that doesn't wish to be met? You send a linguist with multiple personalities, her brain surgically partitioned into separate, sentient processing cores. You send a biologist so radically interfaced with machinery that he sees x-rays and tastes ultrasound. You send a pacifist warrior in the faint hope she won't be needed. You send a monster to command them all, an extinct hominid predator once called vampire, recalled from the grave with the voodoo of recombinant genetics and the blood of sociopaths. And you send a synthesist—an informational topologist with half his mind gone—as an interface between here and there. Pray they can be trusted with the fate of a world. They may be more alien than the thing they've been sent to find. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.




30 Days to Diamond


Book Description

Before I tell you what "30 Days to Diamond" is about, let me tell you what it isn''t. This book is NOT the next 3-dollar booklet promising you all the "tips and tricks" nobody else knows. Any book that makes such a claim is ridiculous, misleading and a waste of time. ''''30 Days to Diamond" is 147 pages worth of specialized teaching, produced by a Master Tier player on both EUW and EUNE servers. It teaches all technical, strategic and psychological aspects of the game from A to Z in a very unique and effective manner. If there''s anything I''ve learned after mentoring over 60 silver and bronze players it''s that anyone, and I mean ANYONE has the potential to become a Diamond level player within a very short time, even if still new to League. In spite of all the information available online, the majority of League''s community still struggle to achieve their goals in Ranked. Nowadays, there are so many Twitch streams, YouTube channels and websites dedicated to teaching the game and yet the results are just not there for the majority. Improving from Silver to Gold is nice, but this is so much less than what progress should look like for most. Being a teacher in real life, the question I got absorbed in was: What prevents people from mastering the game to the level they want, despite them having access to all the information they need? We are talking about hundreds of thousands of players that play ranked. That''s a lot of people. Why is it that so many folks may spend weeks and even months watching Challenger streams, play League for 5+ hours a day and still not improve at the rate they could? This inefficiency is not due to the people playing the game or the information they learn from. It all has to do with how effective learning takes place. A person''s ability to learn from a piece of information is enhanced only to the degree to which they can relate to it at that specific moment. This is the factor that dictates how fast one improves over a period of time. Here is an analogy. If I were to pick two different gold 3 players for example, one may assume that they are at a similar spot on the tree of game knowledge. They are both gold 3, so they must be... right? No, their spot on that tree is unique, as is the combination of things they know and don''t know, it''s just that the net result happens to be the same. Depending on which leafs and branches of the tree they have, if they were both to be traditionally taught the same thing in the same exact way, the result wouldn''t be optimal for both. The key to overcoming those limitations is through teaching the game in the most relatable way, by utilizing the functions of the left and right brain hemispheres SIMULTANEOUSLY through associations and other learning techniques. What most people don''t realize is that their progress is not only limited by what they don''t know, but also the unconscious habits and pathways they''ve created and CONTINUE to create each time they play. Improving at the fastest rate is achieved by also following a daily practice routine that revolves around repeated behaviors that create the right habits, while unlearning the wrong ones. Basically, you transform as a player and it takes about a month. So here is my attempt to change things for the better and have a positive impact on the community. I wrote this book specifically for new and old players that struggle to reach Diamond. It''s updated and relevant to the current Season 6. Everyone that learns from it should be able to reach Diamond within 30 days of practicing no matter what their starting point is. I stand behind my statement that ANY "low elo" player has the potential to get to Diamond in a short time when taught correctly. As far as the time commitment required, playing 2-4 games a day and dedicating about an hour for the method described in Chapter 9 is plenty. The method is designed specifically for people with a job/school/other real life activities who cannot dedicate 10 hours a day to League.




Man, Play, and Games


Book Description

According to Roger Caillois, play is an occasion of pure waste. In spite of this - or because of it - play constitutes an essential element of human social and spiritual development. In this study, the author defines play as a free and voluntary activity that occurs in a pure space, isolated and protected from the rest of life.




21 Days to Diamond and Beyond


Book Description

As a Master Tier player on both EUW and EUNE servers that cares deeply about the state of League of Legends, I had enough of the lack of high quality educational material about the game. So about a year ago, I sat down and wrote what turned out to be the best selling ebook about improving at League of Legends on Amazon - 30 Days to Diamond. I used my experience as a real life teacher and a high elo player to create the most detailed, effective and complete source of game knowledge out there. The impact 30 Days to Diamond had on hundreds of players was enormous and I have summarized the results they achieved in the preface of this book. The book made a bold promise - that no matter what level of skill you are currently at, as long as you apply the principles it teaches, you will be able to reach Diamond 5 rank within 30 days of playing on a fresh account. Mind you, that's regardless of whether you started as a Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum or a completely new player that has just installed the game. The reason why the book delivered on its promise for so many people was simple. I was aware that no matter what your starting point is, as long as you fill in the knowledge gaps that you have about the game and you apply the proven principles that my book teaches, you WILL completely transform as a player over a short period of time. There are no ifs, buts or shoulds - facts are facts and results are results. Well, due to multiple requests from dozens of people online, I was motivated to roll up my sleeves again for Season 7. So I wrote the book you are about to read next - 21 Days to Diamond and Beyond. It is a longer and more detailed, improved, enriched and polished version of 30 Days to Diamond and it has been created specifically for Season 7. Please don't get intimidated by the length of it - I assure you that every page is worth your time. And I am now going to make an even bolder promise - if you take the time to learn all the principles and techniques I teach you in 21 Days to Diamond and Beyond, you will be able to reach a minimum of Diamond 5 rank within 21 days of playing on an unranked account, regardless of what your starting position happens to be right now. You could be Bronze, Silver, Gold or completely new to League of Legends. If your goal is to improve as much as you can at League in a short period of time - because you are a very competitive person, you like winning or you just want to have more fun playing the game - then this book will be your best friend. I am confident that you will be able to appreciate the value that it offers and I would like to encourage you to diligently apply what it teaches, as I go into extreme details on what you should do in pretty much any situation you can encounter in-game. Just look inside the Table of Contents to gain a perspective of the amount of game knowledge I've put together. As a result of being open-minded and applying what the book teaches, I assure you that you will get to enjoy the results that you are looking for. Are you excited already? Best of luck on the Summoner's Rift!
