There is no doubt that ShowMaker is currently the number one mid laner in the world of League of Legends. However, throughout history, the DWG KIA player is only ranked fourth in terms of titles, compared to three other predecessors: Rookie, PawN, and Faker.
In terms of championships, ShowMaker has 2 LCK titles and 1 World Championship. Equal to him is Rookie, with 1 LCK title, 1 LPL title, and 1 World Championship. However, Rookie’s title collection carries more weight, as the two regional championships of IG’s captain were won at two different tournaments.
PawN and Faker are the greatest mid laners in history, having both secured a full set of regional and international championships. PawN holds 1 LPL title, 1 MSI title, and 1 World Championship.
In fact, the legend of Samsung Galaxy White was the first player in history to collect this complete trio of titles. As for Faker, perhaps there’s no need to elaborate on the impressive collection of titles that the Demon King has amassed throughout his career.
ShowMaker’s DWG KIA has qualified for an MSI tournament for the first time after winning the LPL Spring 2021. And if DK wins the MSI 2021 tournament, he will become the third mid laner in professional League of Legends history to collect a full set of international titles.
In that case, ShowMaker will officially surpass PawN as he will have one more regional championship than this predecessor. He will become the second-best mid laner in history, only behind Faker – an immortal icon of the League of Legends world.
With DK’s current performance, they are naturally considered the number one contender for the MSI 2021 championship, regardless of whether the LPL representative is FunPlus Phoenix or Royal Never Give Up. History is calling ShowMaker, and will this player respond to that call with another championship in the 2021 season? Let’s wait and see!
