According to official information from Riot Games, the 2022 League of Legends World Championship (Worlds 2022) will officially kick off on September 29. As the biggest tournament of the year approaches, the topic of the best players for this event is heating up more than ever.
Recently, during a live stream about Worlds 2022, experts from the LPL region presented their lists of the best players in the tournament according to their evaluations. Notably, among the experts in this broadcast was Doinb, a player who just missed the chance to attend Worlds 2022.
A common feature from the assessments of LPL experts is their high regard for Chovy in particular and Gen.G players in general. Doinb even stated that Chovy is the best player of this tournament as he continually refines his skillset.
“You guys keep saying that Chovy only knows how to farm lanes and get CS, but that was before he joined Gen.G. Now he always looks for opportunities to pressure opponents and doesn’t let them move freely anymore. Chovy after joining Gen.G is an extremely formidable player,” Doinb shared.
Not only Chovy, but other names from Gen.G, such as Peanut and Ruler, are also rated very highly by experts. These are the key players that helped Gen.G achieve a highly successful 2022 LCK Summer season with a championship after defeating T1.
Speaking of T1, only 2 players from this team are mentioned in the list of the best players at Worlds 2022. Those players are Keria and Zeus, as they are the most consistent players in T1’s lineup. In fact, with Zeus, he is even considered T1’s “carry” in the latter half of the 2022 LCK Summer season.
As for Faker, the T1 legend is not even ranked among the top 10 players by any experts. The reason is quite simple; T1 has been playing quite inconsistently recently, and Faker has only performed at a decent level rather than being a “carry” factor.
However, we cannot underestimate Faker at the World Championship due to his temporary form. This player still possesses incredibly high skill and Faker’s rich experience will greatly assist T1 at the upcoming major tournament. Hopefully, Faker and the T1 team will soon regain their peak form to become championship contenders at Worlds 2022.
