## Resource

This episode of The Drive Driven by Kia begins with a check-in pit stop with Europe; where, shockingly, Los Ratones won… again?! Next, Kobe, Azael, and Meteos break down everything you need to know in Patch 26.3: Mel’s rework, Phase Rush buff, adjusted gold collection, and more! Meanwhile, NA pro-play has us asking quite a few questions: Is jungle out of control? Dignitas finally has a full roster, but what does that mean for their performance? And… what is Saint doing? With our final round of the Swiss Bracket and the Last Chance elimination match this weekend, we may get some answers. Oh, and have you heard of Literal “Word” Champion? LCS returns Saturday, February 7th at 1PM PT/4PM ET for TLAW vs SEN. We’ll see you there!
