League of Legends: Top 10 Best Players in the World 2018

Another season is about to end. A new champion was born, this year is the most successful year of the China region ( LPL ) when capturing all international titles in hand such as MSI ( champion RNG ) and Worlds ( IG champion ).

Emily Rand and Xander Torres outlined the top players in League of Legends this year, by team contribution and overall success for the year. You probably won’t agree with them. Just remember that Song “Rookie” Eui-jin is still the best player.

10.Martin “Wunder” Hansen, G2 Esports

In 10th place is Wunder, which he earned because he was an extremely impressive performer at this year’s Worlds. Most importantly, his play influenced G2’s style of play, which helped Wunder beat Liquid’s Doublelift or Flash Wolves’ SwordArt. Similar to TheShy, this is the top top laner in Europe and is highly rated. Wunder can play well against Tanker and Carrier champions, but perhaps Wunder’s name is what threatens the opponent.

G2’s success at Worlds wouldn’t have been possible without Wunder and his impact is what brought him up to tenth place. However, he has proven himself to be not only the best top laner in the West, but also one of the best Western players. Wunder is nothing, but it will be interesting if we continue to watch how his prospects for 2019 will be brighter than this year.

9. Kim “Kiin” Gi-in, Afreeca Freecs

Next is the AFs top laner, Kiin is like many other players when he went from being a casual player and joined Ever8 Winners. And the culmination was when joining AFs, Kiin proved himself to be a top player in kimchi country when he was the top pick of the Korean team at Asiad 2018. Also this year, Kiin and his teammates won won the LCK Spring runner-up very convincingly.

Most importantly, in a world where Korea has to contend with teams in all other regions big and small for the sake of national pride, Kiin is a striking example of a potential player. Like Viper, Kiin represents the future hope of Korean League of Legends. That even if they falter ahead of this year, if the teams can exploit and develop their potential, Korea will be back one day.

8. Go “Score” Dong-bin, KT Rolster

Speaking of longtime players, Score is someone who has been playing League of Legends in Korea since he started StarTale in 2012. Since October 2012, Score is a member of KT Rolster, dedicated whatever the team needs.

Score is no longer the top jungler, but he is still one of the smartest junglers in the world. He’s on this list not for his dazzling form but for his mastery of map control. Although the Super KT team is no more, the fact that they played together for two years can’t be ignored given Score’s strong leadership and jungle abilities. This year, like Uzi in the LPL, Score broke his personal curse by winning his first domestic title in years missing.

7. Park “Viper” Do-Hyeon, Griffin

At 7th place is the talented AD carry Viper, Viper and Griffin are a breath of fresh air this year, a harbinger of how outdated gameplay in the LCK is as Viper has always been at the forefront of the team’s innovative strategy. Griffin. His teammate Lee “Tarzan” Seung-yong may be the best player on the team, but with Viper is his willingness to adapt, unlike many of his other LCK peers.

Viper is the driving force behind some of Griffin’s strategies. Sometimes they win overwhelmingly. Sometimes they compete and win despite the appearance of Teemo in the game between Griffin and MVP. But in reality, Griffin is always willing to innovate the way the rest of the LCK plays.

6. Kang “TheShy” Seung-lok, Invictus Gaming

Without a doubt, Theshy is one of the most promising top laners in the world with his dazzling laning through matches. Even being known as the creator of Riven’s quick combos, TheShy’s impact on top lane is felt. His dominance at the top of the map is what fans liken: “Win ​​lane, win game” with his team style and control has resonated in 2018.

TheShy only competes in one style of farming and teleporting to support teammates and in teamfights. Replaced Duke in top lane and was the main factor in bringing the 2018 World Championship. IG is more than just Rookie, but his contributions are still arguably the most important to top laner.

5. Hung “Karsa” Hau-Hsuan, Royal Never Give Up

Very surprised when Karsa appeared in 5th place, Karsa really shocked when playing brilliantly in RNG shirt after leaving LMS. After winning the domestic title with Flash Wolves, he did the same for RNG but in a more difficult region. Karsa is the top jungler in the LPL as well as the best at MSI this year.

Karsa may have been higher on this list as one of the best-performing junglers of the year, but he’s had a rather slow start to RNG. Unfortunately, RNG also has dropped the championship in the quarterfinals, missing Karsa’s chance to lift the championship trophy in the biggest arena in the world. However, the only jungler comparable to Karsa is KT Score, Karsa wasn’t necessarily the best jungler in the world all year, but he was the missing piece of a title-hungry team. like RNG.

4. Rasmus “Caps” Winther, Fnatic

As the highest ranked European player, Caps is more deserving than anyone at No. 4. . As one of the best performing players in the EU LCS, Caps has won both LCS titles with Fnatic and has the best record at Worlds 2018 since Fnatic’s 2011 World Championship.

As a player who can compete with the best in the east, Caps even solo queued world champion Song “Rookie” Eui-jin.

Caps has played in a less competitive league than some of the players above but he still shows the class of a world player throughout his international appearances. More importantly, Caps are a big part of Fnatic’s success. Fnatic wouldn’t have made it to this year’s World Championship finals without Caps taking the lead. It proves that Europe has what it takes to compete with other powerful regions.

3. Shi “Ming” Sen-Ming, Royal Never Give Up

If Uzi is the one who is honored as the best player of the whole season and is a factor in the success of RNG as well as China’s 2018 Asiad gold medal. Behind is Ming’s support, but he doesn’t receive as much praise as Uzi. As one of the best supports in the world, with excellent vision control and readability, RNG is like playing against two junglers.

The vision that Ming brings to the team has greatly helped the team as well as the flexibility that has helped Ming surpass SwordArt and Mata to become the best support in the world.

2.Jian “Uzi” Zi-Hao, Royal Never Give Up

If Uzi and Royal Never Give Up win the world championship, the lead will be Uzi. With a strategy around AD, RNG won a series of titles in the 2018 season.

Uzi and his teammates may drop a few titles, but that doesn’t detract from his numerous achievements this year, including two LPL titles, an MSI title and a 2018 Asiad gold medal. Here it is. China’s eSports dominance year and it was started by Uzi and RNG.

It’s hard to believe that at this time last year, Uzi had yet to win a domestic title. Despite being a talented player and top AD carry in the LPL since 2013, Uzi’s first LPL title was the 2018 LPL Spring Split. This win unleashed a storm of Uzi success, placing the player and RNG on a track where they seem to have won every championship including Worlds. Uzi’s loss at Worlds was significant. , but his previous successes are remarkable this year.

1.Song “Rookie” Eui-jin, Invictus Gaming

Without thinking much, Rookie was the best player of the 2018 season. During the time that Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok was spectacularly rising in the 2013-14 Winter LCK Finals, Rookie started to make a splash. resounded with KT Rolster Arrows. The team shared a rivalry with SK Telecom T1 throughout 2014 and Rookie was announced as the new Faker, someone ready to challenge SKT’s mid laner for the title of best player in the world.

However, Rookie has disappeared, like many other players who left Korea for China, a tournament that has little international audience interest. Faker and the Korean League of Legends scene have been growing steadily, and all the players outside of the LCK are less likely to be considered real contenders for the title of best player in the world.

One lesson to be learned here is that teams from the LPL need time to adapt to the international environment. Bring in foreign players and train them to be champions. Even in 2015 when all three Chinese teams fell in the worlds, Rookie’s mid lane confrontations throughout the 2015 season were all great.

This year is different in that IG is not simply Rookie and four other players but IG’s improvement over time to become one of the best teams in the world. It would be a shame to just reward Rookie without admitting that he couldn’t have done it without his teammates. But Rookie at the top of this list is a combination of many things: the growth of IG, the growth of the China region, and the dominance of Rookie. He’s always vying for the title of best player in the world and this year in the most convincing case even for a moment, Rookie took his throne.
