|valign= "top"|Sadistic and cunning, Thresh is a restless spirit who prides himself on tormenting mortals and breaking them with slow, excruciating inventiveness. His victims suffer far beyond the point of death, for Thresh wreaks agony upon their souls, imprisoning them in his lantern to torture for all eternity.
  
   
  +
== History ==
−
In an age history has all but forgotten, the man who would later be known as Thresh was once a member of an order devoted to gathering and protecting knowledge. The masters of this order tasked him with guarding a hidden underground vault filled with dangerous and corrupted magical artifacts. Thresh was incredibly strong-willed and methodical, which made him well-suited to such work.
  
  +
=== 2016 Season ===
  +
==== Spring EU LCS ====
  +
'''G2 Esports''' rebranded from the name [[Gamers2]] in October 2015, after [[League Championship Series/Europe/2016 Season/Spring Promotion|qualifying]] for the [[League Championship Series/Europe/2016 Season/Spring Season|EU LCS]]. In addition to rebranding, the team changed several positions in their roster: from [[Smittyj]], [[Kikis]], [[PerkZ]], [[Jesse]], and [[Hybrid]] as their qualifying roster, G2 Esports moved Kikis to top lane and add Korean players [[Trick]] and [[Emperor]]. Their roster quickly rose to prominence and recognition in the LCS, consistently tied for first place after each week, sometimes with [[H2k-Gaming|H2k]] and sometimes also with [[Vitality]], until the end of the split when they held sole possession of first place with a 15-3 record. With a quarterfinal bye, the [[League Championship Series/Europe/2016 Season/Spring Playoffs|playoffs]] also saw them strong, as they defeated both [[Fnatic]] and [[Origen]] 3-1 to win the season and secure an invitation to the [[2016 Mid-Season Invitational|Mid-Season Invitational]].
   
  +
==== 2016 Mid-Season Invitational ====
−
The vault Thresh guarded was buried deep beneath the citadel at the center of an island chain and protected by runic sigils, arcane locks and potent wards. Spending such time in the presence of dark spells began to affect Thresh as the magic sought out his innate malice. For years the relics preyed on his insecurities, taunting him with his deepest fears and feeding his bitterness.
  
  +
Going into MSI, G2 Esports were seen as a favorite not to win, but to come in second place to the Korean representatives [[SK Telecom T1]].<ref>[http://espn.go.com/esports/story/_/id/15446300/the-mid-season-invitational-power-rankings The Mid-Season Invitational Power Rankings] ''espn.go.com''</ref><ref>[http://www.lolesports.com/en_US/articles/msi-2016-power-rankings MSI 2016 Power Rankings] ''lolesports.com''</ref> However, the team lost their first four games of the round robin and ultimately finished in fifth place, ahead of only [[SuperMassive eSports]], and out of playoff contention - importantly, this placement meant that Europe would miss out on a [[2016 Season World Championship/Seeding|Pool 1 Seed]] at [[2016 Season World Championship|Worlds]]. In a statement published partway through the second day of play, G2 stated that their players had taken vacation time after a "rigorous Spring Split."<ref>[http://www.g2esports.com/statement-from-g2-esports-about-msi-2016/ Club statement about MSI 2016] ''g2esports.com''</ref> Emperor later stated that there had been an internal conflict within the team one day prior to the start of the event.<ref>[http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/4i5fls/g2_emperor_post_on_facebook/ G2 Emperor Post on Facebook !!] ''reddit.com''</ref>
   
  +
These several factors - their performance compared to expectations, the far-reaching impact of their result harming the European region as a whole for Worlds seeding, and their statement seeming like a poor excuse - resulted in the organization receiving significant backlash from the community and sparked a debate with varied opinions on the matter from different people.<ref>[http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/4hzsep/soaz_regarding_reddit_criticism_on_g2/ Soaz regarding reddit criticism on G2] ''reddit.com''</ref><ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRgcU4SXD2A PerkZ on G2's lack of MSI prep: 'We decided...taking that vacation would be maybe better for us'] ''youtube.com''</ref><ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ULF-LZneIE MonteCristo on G2's statement about MSI 2016] ''youtube.com''</ref><ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxLiJcazk8M Thorin's Thoughts - G2 and the Practice Problem (LoL)] ''youtube.com''</ref>
−
Thresh’s spite surfaced through wanton acts of cruelty, as his talent for exploiting vulnerability bloomed. He slowly tore pages out of a living book, binding it back together when it was all but spent. He scratched the glass of a mirror bound with the memory of an ancient mage until it was opaque, trapping the man in darkness, only to polish it anew and repeat. Just as a secret wants to be told, a spell wants nothing more than to be cast, and Thresh denied this each day. He would start to recite an incantation, then let the words trickle off his tongue, halting just before the last syllable.
  
   
  +
==== Summer EU LCS ====
−
He became exquisitely skilled at covering all evidence of his cruelty, such that no one in the order suspected he was anything other than a disciplined guard. The vault had grown so vast that no one knew its contents as completely as Thresh, and the lesser artifacts faded from the order’s memory, as did Thresh himself.
  
  +
Looking forward to the [[League Championship Series/Europe/2016 Season/Summer Season|Summer Split]], G2 announced the acquisition of the former [[Origen]] botlane, [[Zven]] and [[Mithy]],<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjFr_4cyjdo Vacation is over.] ''youtube.com'' </ref> and Korean toplaner [[Expect]]. With a newfound strength in the bot lane, coupled with [[Trick]]'s MVP-worthy performance, G2 went on to re-establish themselves as the best team in Europe, placing first in the Regular Season with a match record of 10-8-0 in spite of [[Kikis]] leaving the lineup between Weeks 6 and 7.<ref>[http://www.g2esports.com/g2-agrees-terms-fnatic-kikis G2 agrees to terms with Fnatic for Kikis] ''g2esports.com''</ref> They then defeated [[Splyce]] 3-1 in the [[League Championship Series/Europe/2016 Season/Summer Playoffs|Summer Playoffs Finals]], securing their spot in the [[2016 Season World Championship|2016 World Championship]].
   
  +
==== 2016 World Championship ====
−
He resented that he had to hide his meticulous work. Everything under his watch was evil, or corrupted in some way - why ''shouldn’t'' he be free to do as he would?
  
  +
Due to their poor MSI performance, G2 ended up joining Worlds as a Pool Two team, thus having to potentially face tougher opponents in the Group Stage. They were drafted in Group A along with LCK champions [[ROX Tigers]], NA LCS second seed [[Counter Logic Gaming]] and International Wild Card Tournament winner from the CIS region [[Albus NoX Luna]]. G2 exited the tournament early in last place in their group, going 1-5 with their only win coming in their final game against Albus NoX.
   
  +
=== 2017 Season ===
−
The vault held many peculiar magical artifacts but no people, until one day when a chained man was dragged into the sunken catacombs. He was a warlock who had infused his body with raw sorcery, which gave him the power to regenerate his flesh, no matter how grievous the wound.
  
  +
During the 2016-17 offseason, G2 was one of only two teams along with [[Splyce]] to make no roster changes going into the [[League_Championship_Series/Europe/2017_Season/Spring_Season|2017 Spring EU LCS]], being placed into Group A alongside [[Misfits (European Team)|Misfits]], [[Fnatic]], [[Team ROCCAT]], and [[Giants Gaming]]. After dominating the first half of the domestic split with a perfect 7-0 match record, G2 was invited to [[IEM_Season_11_-_World_Championship|IEM Katowice]] to replace [[Cloud9]], who had forfeited their berth. G2 defeated [[ROX Tigers]] and [[Kongdoo Monster]] of the LCK, along with European rivals [[Unicorns of Love]], to make it to the tournament finals, where they lost 0-2 against the back-to-back LMS champion [[Flash Wolves]].
   
  +
In domestic competition, G2 held a commanding lead throughout the season, dropping only eight games and remaining undefeated in series until their very last match, losing to the surging [[Team ROCCAT]]. G2 finished in first overall with a 12-1 record, earning their third consecutive first-place regular season finish.
−
Thresh was delighted at his new ward - a being who could feel the full range of human suffering, but would not perish, a plaything he could torment for years to come. He started methodically separating the warlock’s skin from his flesh with a hook, and used his chains to lash and tear the open wound until it healed. He took to wearing the chains as he patrolled the vault, reveling in the warlock’s fear at the long, dragging sound of his approach.
  
   
  +
== Timeline ==
−
With ample charges to torment in the vault, Thresh became even more distanced from the order above. He began to take his meals in his underground chamber lit by a single lantern, rarely emerging from the catacombs. His skin developed a pallid complexion from lack of sunlight, and his face became gaunt and hollow. Members of the order avoided him, and when a series of mysterious disappearances plagued the order, none thought to investigate Thresh’s lair.

When the disaster known as the Ruination struck, magical shockwaves claimed the lives of all who lived on the isles and transformed them into a state of undeath. While others screamed in anguish, Thresh reveled in the ruin. He rose from this cataclysm as a spectral abomination, but unlike many who have passed into the shadow world, Thresh did not lose his identity. Rather, his penchant for cruel torture and ability to discern weakness was only heightened.

''Thresh approached a ruined hovel. He raised his lantern, not to see his surroundings, but to look inside the glass.

His mouth twisted in a grotesque grin, teeth glinting from the glow. Each of the lights was precious to him.''

''He set the glass door of his lantern slightly ajar. Strange sounds came from within - a cacophony of screams.''
  
−  
−
''The man did not react, not at first. So many screams emerged that they blended together like scraping glass shards. But his eyes widened in horror as he heard voices he recognized plead from Thresh’s lantern. He heard his mother, his brother, his friend, and finally the sound he dreaded most: his children, wailing as if being burned alive.''

''“What have you done?” he screamed. He scrambled for something to throw - a broken chair - and threw it at Thresh with all his strength. It passed through the spectre harmlessly, and Thresh laughed mirthlessly.''

''“Now, we begin,” said Thresh. He pulled the captured soul, pulsing brightly from the end of the chain, and trapped him within the lantern. The man’s hollow corpse collapsed as Thresh departed.''

''Thresh followed the curling Black Mist away from the cottage with his glowing lantern held high. Only after Thresh was gone, and the fog dissipated, did the insects resume their nightly chorus and stars once again filled the night sky.''

|valign= "top"|{{ci|Thresh}} is a twisted reaper whose hungry chains ensnare the souls of the living. A moment's hesitation at the sight of his ghostly visage and there is no escape. He leaves in his wake hollow corpses, their souls ripped loose and trapped in the sickly green light of his lantern. The Chain Warden takes sadistic joy in tormenting his victims, both before and after their deaths. His grim task is never complete, and he stalks the land for ever more resolute spirits to unravel.

===Formerly On Loan===
−
Thresh carves careful, deliberate paths through Valoran. He handpicks his targets individually, devoting his full attention to each soul in turn. He isolates and toys with them, gradually eroding their sanity with his twisted, maddening humor. Once Thresh takes an interest in a soul, he does not relent until he possesses it. He then drags those he captures back to the Shadow Isles for an unimaginably dreadful fate. This is his only purpose.

Little is known about the Chain Warden's past, and many of the details live only in nursery rhymes and campfire tales. They tell of a sadistic jailer from centuries past who took great delight in torturing his wards. Patient and brutal, he used a variety of methods to break his victims' minds before their bodies succumbed to his grisly designs. Chains were the jailer's preferred instruments of terror. Their shrill scrape marked his dreadful approach and promised agony to those he visited. His dark reign went unchallenged until his prisoners escaped during a massive riot. They overwhelmed him, and without ceremony or remorse, hanged him from his own chains. Thus began the unlife of the horrible specter known as Thresh, or so the tales go.

Thresh now haunts the land, leaving an aftermath of horror and despair. However, there is a devious purpose behind his dark machinations, and the meager spirits of average men are insufficient. He seeks stronger souls. Only when he has broken the wills of Valoran's most resilient warriors will he finally have what he needs.

|description='''(Innate)''' Thresh collects the souls of dead enemies by approaching them or by placing Dark Passage's lantern nearby. Each soul permanently grants 0.75 armor and ability power. Champions and large minions and monsters always drop a soul. Small minions and monsters only sometimes drop a soul. Epic monsters drop two souls.<br><br>A soul will only drop if the enemy unit dies within 1900-range of Thresh. Souls are visible to allies, and only become visible to enemies if the enemy team has vision of Thresh. Souls disappear if not picked up after 8 seconds.

|context=Like a few others on this list, Thresh has less access to his ultimate than we’d like. While it’s true that The Box doesn’t carry as much weight as other ults when identifying Thresh’s ‘high moment’ (Death Sentence is really cool, okay?), it’s still an important part of his teamfight contributions. Upping the Box’s availability late-game should make Thresh feel more complete when making the big plays he’s known for.

|summary=Epic monsters give two souls. W scaling changed.
  
−
|context=Everyone knows that taking the souls of fallen enemies should be a fun and pleasant experience. For Thresh, however, collecting the souls of the damned currently doesn’t capture how awesome it is to slay epic monsters. We're making the soul hunting mini-game more rewarding and changing the scaling on Thresh's W to match. In addition, we're cleaning up some of the interactions between Thresh's hook and lantern, letting players feel a little more confident in landing their “Flash, Hook, Lantern” combo.

''Summary: We made it more obvious that Dark Passage is a clickable item and gave it a small collision radius. We’re also slightly increasing the time it takes for The Box to form.''
  
−  
−
''Giving Thresh’s lantern a small collision radius means that he can’t cover things like minions or wards to prevent enemies from clicking them. Similarly, this also means that minions can’t accidentally cover up a lantern, and that enemies can’t block Thresh’s lantern with a bunch of wards. Instead, Thresh’s lantern will now slightly push units out of the way when it’s thrown on top of them – or if the unit can’t be moved (ie: wards or champions), Thresh’s lantern will land beside them and champions won’t be able to walk directly on top of it. Click that lantern!''
  
−  
−
''The increased delay on The Box’s wall formation is to clarify its use as a trapping ability when Thresh has the right position. Sometimes Thresh will just throw out The Box when walking behind a fleeing opponent to “clip” them on the edge, but Thresh should fail in those situations because he didn’t bother to have the proper positioning.''

−
''Summary: We've extended Death Sentence's standard cooldown, but added a mechanic that reduces the skill's overall cooldown amount whenever he lands a hook. Additionally, Thresh no longer gains mounting bonus magic damage in between chained auto attacks – he'll need to deliberately stop attacking in order for it to start "winding up" again.''
  
−  
−
''Context: Thresh's laning phase can be overbearing when played correctly. We're making these changes to punish speculative hook attempts while also rewarding precise use of Death Sentence. At early levels, landing a hook will still reduce its cooldown to below its prior cooldown level, while at later levels, landing hooks will reduce its cooldown significantly (especially when combined with cooldown reduction). We changed Flay because its passive "wind up" damage was growing even in between Thresh's auto attacks. This reduced the importance of his powerful intermittent auto attack harass as he was still getting a small bonus from Flay's passive even when constantly auto attacking.''

−  
−
''Context: We wanted to make trading in lanes a little riskier for Thresh as he had a lot of crowd control through Death Sentence and Flay.

Giving souls a flat bonus means Thresh's passive stays relevant throughout the game.''

Current Roster
G2 2017 Spring

G2 Esports is a Spanish team. They were formerly known as Gamers2. They currently compete under the name G2 Kinguin in representation of their sponsor Kinguin.

History[]

2016 Season[]

Spring EU LCS[]

G2 Esports rebranded from the name Gamers2 in October 2015, after qualifying for the EU LCS. In addition to rebranding, the team changed several positions in their roster: from Smittyj, Kikis, PerkZ, Jesse, and Hybrid as their qualifying roster, G2 Esports moved Kikis to top lane and add Korean players Trick and Emperor. Their roster quickly rose to prominence and recognition in the LCS, consistently tied for first place after each week, sometimes with H2k and sometimes also with Vitality, until the end of the split when they held sole possession of first place with a 15-3 record. With a quarterfinal bye, the playoffs also saw them strong, as they defeated both Fnatic and Origen 3-1 to win the season and secure an invitation to the Mid-Season Invitational.

2016 Mid-Season Invitational[]

Going into MSI, G2 Esports were seen as a favorite not to win, but to come in second place to the Korean representatives SK Telecom T1.[1][2] However, the team lost their first four games of the round robin and ultimately finished in fifth place, ahead of only SuperMassive eSports, and out of playoff contention - importantly, this placement meant that Europe would miss out on a Pool 1 Seed at Worlds. In a statement published partway through the second day of play, G2 stated that their players had taken vacation time after a "rigorous Spring Split."[3] Emperor later stated that there had been an internal conflict within the team one day prior to the start of the event.[4]

These several factors - their performance compared to expectations, the far-reaching impact of their result harming the European region as a whole for Worlds seeding, and their statement seeming like a poor excuse - resulted in the organization receiving significant backlash from the community and sparked a debate with varied opinions on the matter from different people.[5][6][7][8]

Summer EU LCS[]

Looking forward to the Summer Split, G2 announced the acquisition of the former Origen botlane, Zven and Mithy,[9] and Korean toplaner Expect. With a newfound strength in the bot lane, coupled with Trick's MVP-worthy performance, G2 went on to re-establish themselves as the best team in Europe, placing first in the Regular Season with a match record of 10-8-0 in spite of Kikis leaving the lineup between Weeks 6 and 7.[10] They then defeated Splyce 3-1 in the Summer Playoffs Finals, securing their spot in the 2016 World Championship.

2016 World Championship[]

Due to their poor MSI performance, G2 ended up joining Worlds as a Pool Two team, thus having to potentially face tougher opponents in the Group Stage. They were drafted in Group A along with LCK champions ROX Tigers, NA LCS second seed Counter Logic Gaming and International Wild Card Tournament winner from the CIS region Albus NoX Luna. G2 exited the tournament early in last place in their group, going 1-5 with their only win coming in their final game against Albus NoX.

2017 Season[]

During the 2016-17 offseason, G2 was one of only two teams along with Splyce to make no roster changes going into the 2017 Spring EU LCS, being placed into Group A alongside Misfits, Fnatic, Team ROCCAT, and Giants Gaming. After dominating the first half of the domestic split with a perfect 7-0 match record, G2 was invited to IEM Katowice to replace Cloud9, who had forfeited their berth. G2 defeated ROX Tigers and Kongdoo Monster of the LCK, along with European rivals Unicorns of Love, to make it to the tournament finals, where they lost 0-2 against the back-to-back LMS champion Flash Wolves.

In domestic competition, G2 held a commanding lead throughout the season, dropping only eight games and remaining undefeated in series until their very last match, losing to the surging Team ROCCAT. G2 finished in first overall with a 12-1 record, earning their third consecutive first-place regular season finish.
