The World Championship (CKTG) is the biggest League of Legends (LoL) festival of the year, filled with the dreams of players, organizations, and staff… Yesterday, we covered 5 players from positions 6 to 10, and now we will look at the top 5 most anticipated players in the upcoming World Championship.
5. Knight
Knight is always among the top players in the LPL tournament in China. Essentially, Knight showcases a flashy playstyle, superior individual skills, and moments of high-quality impact. Knight’s plays can resolve crucial bottlenecks in the match during moments of deadlock.
Strong from the laning phase to team fights, Knight consistently boasts impressive personal stats compared to other players. Moreover, he can use every type of champion, from support champions to carry champions, demonstrating a vast champion pool. In the current lineup of Top Esports, Knight is the brightest star, a player with a strong emotional playstyle.
Knight’s only weakness lies in his mental fortitude. He excels at breaking through deadlocks, but if the team falls far behind or faces a higher-ranked opponent, Knight may lack the resolve to carry the team. However, this flaw is minuscule compared to his true talent.
4. Viper
Viper has never been underestimated by the League of Legends community worldwide; this player has a terrifying ability to carry games with heavy carry champions. With his strong individual skills, quick reflexes, and ability to pressure lanes while maintaining excellent positioning in team fights, he shines in cleaning up what remains.
Therefore, Viper is regarded by the community as a super marksman, a player with carry potential, with no weaknesses at this moment. Edward Gaming’s presence in the World Championship as the third seed from their region is due to Viper’s shining moments in difficult times. Not only did he carry his team, but Viper also helped his teammates regain their confidence after a tough phase in the LPL Summer 2022 group stage.
3. Ruler
Ruler is currently enjoying a golden phase in his career. Gen.G has seen ups and downs, but Ruler has never disappointed his fans. What “The Ruler” has achieved lately is truly remarkable. Ruler dominated all marksmen in the LCK Summer 2022, leading Gen.G to a convincing LCK championship, shining in nearly all matches, especially with his signature champion, Zeri.
High performance, excellent individual skills from laning to team fights, full composure in nail-biting matches, shining to unlock the knots in the game, a strong yet not reckless aggressive playstyle, these are the praises for this talented marksman. With Gen.G being at their peak, Korean fans are dreaming of this year’s World Championship title.
2. Kanavi
Standing at position 2 is Kanavi, a name that may surprise you. But if you follow the LPL tournament and JDG’s performance this summer, you’ll understand how incredible Kanavi’s level is. He is known for his high skill, comprehensive League of Legends understanding, and his ability to carry games exceptionally well; in fact, Kanavi’s impact on the entire team is much greater than Ruler’s.
He plays various champions with different roles, but the most notable are the heavy carry champions with a strong offensive nature like Graves, Taliyah, Kindred, etc. At the start of the LPL Summer 2022 tournament, few believed JDG would win this season, but with Kanavi’s outstanding performance and the strong rise of Yagao and 369, the team achieved a miracle.
This year is the year of junglers and marksmen; Kanavi will surely have high expectations from fans, becoming the brightest star in the LPL region this year.
1. Chovy
Of course, the number 1 position goes to Chovy. From a prodigious boy, Chovy has gradually established his superlative individual skills in the League of Legends community worldwide. Even without exaggeration, Chovy has no rivals in the mid-lane in terms of individual skill. Chovy’s playstyle leans towards laning; he fully understands his mid lane, knows every detail about champion matchups, positioning, trading hits, skills, wave control, and movement… Chovy’s playstyle is somewhat reminiscent of Dopa, who is known as “The Lane Control God”.
Day by day, Chovy continues to improve. He no longer focuses solely on farm stats as before but intertwines farming with supporting teammates. That is why Gen.G convincingly won the LCK Summer Championship recently. And of course, with such terrifying farm stats, Chovy has all the qualities to shine in team fights and carry the team.
Chovy possesses a visually appealing playstyle that leans heavily on emotion, which is quite similar to Knight’s from Top Esports. This year, with Faker not in his prime, Chovy is sure to be expected to succeed “The Demon King” in the future. This year, Gen.G is very strong, so the prodigious boy’s goal will be to win the World Championship.
