Champion Labs

The twelve-week teaching schedule: what happens in each champion lab, what to prepare, and what leaves the room.

Practice · evidence · revision

Every lab produces an artefact: a drill log, matchup rule, annotated clip, decision tree, or re-test. Bring the named preparation and leave with the next version of your champion playbook.

LAB 01 / Calibration and champion contract

Lock one champion and role, record a baseline, and define the first evidence-backed training queue.

Week 1 · 25 February 2027

LAB 02 / Mechanics loop

Build and repeat two champion-specific drills until execution is stable enough to test in a live lane.

Week 2 · 4 March 2027

LAB 03 / Wave and trade lab

Rehearse the first four waves against contrasting opponents and connect every trade to the next lane state.

LAB 04 / Matchup hypothesis lab

Turn a suspected counter into a controlled one-versus-one protocol and a falsifiable lane rule.

LAB 05 / Evidence-first VOD review

Review decisions from information available in the moment and convert findings into a precise re-test.

LAB 06 / Adaptive setup lab

Compare two rune, item, or skill-order plans against the same matchup problem without confusing correlation for cause.

Week 6 · 1 April 2027

LAB 07 / Counter sprint

Rotate through ranged, sustain, disengage, and all-in opponents while keeping one champion plan under scrutiny.

Week 7 · 8 April 2027

LAB 08 / Portfolio review

Audit matchup coverage, evidence quality, and whether lane learning changes later map decisions.

Week 8 · 15 April 2027

LAB 09 / Global decision map

Rehearse side-lane, objective, teleport, and grouping decisions from ahead, even, and behind states.

Test champion interactions outside lane through target access, peel, flank, zone, and retreat scenarios.

Stress-test the ten hardest matchups across three cycles and defend the resulting rules to peers.

Week 11 · 6 May 2027

LAB 12 / Champion mastery exhibition

Demonstrate one complete improvement loop and hand over a living playbook with a credible next-test queue.

Week 12 · 13 May 2027
