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.

The Mediatrician's Guide


Book Description

Children are growing up in a world of screens. They move seamlessly back and forth in a physical-digital environment. But parents are both worried and confused about when and how to introduce tablets, smartphones, even television.

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.
