Just a few hours ago, the final matches of the Group Stage of Worlds 2022 officially concluded. This gives us a clearer view of the strength of the teams as well as the outstanding performance of the star players.
Zeus is perhaps the first name that needs to be mentioned as this player has played a significant role in helping T1 top Group A. Not only does he possess exceptional individual skills, but Zeus also has an incredibly wide champion pool as he played 6 different champions in 6 matches during the group stage.
In terms of statistics, Zeus also ranks first among Top Laners in several crucial metrics. Specifically, he holds the top position in stats such as gold earned per minute (453 GPM), damage dealt per minute (684 DPM), and damage contribution percentage (28.2%).
Even the statistics showing Zeus’s dominance in lane are incredibly impressive. This player stands first in gold difference (1315) and creep score (25) at the 15-minute mark. The only metric he trails in is experience difference at 15 minutes, where he is behind by 369.
Unlike the Top Lane, the Jungle position at Worlds 2022 has many players shining rather than being dominated like Zeus. Specifically, Kanavi leads in two metrics: creep score per minute and average kills. Even Levi from GAM Esports has the highest damage contribution percentage (22.7%).
In the Mid Lane position, we have a series of impressive statistics from ShowMaker of the DK team. ShowMaker consistently ranks in the top 3 in almost all important metrics such as gold difference, creep score, and experience at the 15-minute mark.
Even in KDA and damage contribution percentage, ShowMaker is always in the top 2. Perhaps ShowMaker’s return to peak form is the main reason DK secured a spot in the Quarterfinals despite being in a challenging group.
For the AD Carry position, Korean players like Gumayusi and Ruler are performing exceptionally well. For Gumayusi, he is often well-protected by his teammates, leading him to top the KDA (18.3) and average kills (6.3).
Meanwhile, Ruler has incredibly impressive damage statistics. Specifically, Ruler ranks first in damage dealt per minute (807) and second in damage contribution percentage to his team (30.7).
