The elite rankings reveal a strategic balance between LCK and LPL representatives following these regions’ collective dominance throughout the World Championship. Western competitors from LEC and LCS failed to demonstrate the requisite individual excellence for inclusion among the absolute best. The rankings’ upper echelon demonstrates overwhelming DAMWON Gaming representation following their championship performance.

World Champions DAMWON top the rankings

Professional analysts frequently conceptualize ideal League of Legends rosters theoretically, but DAMWON’s current lineup approaches near-perfect composition with minimal exploitable weaknesses. This exceptional team synergy explains their unprecedented capture of all top five ranking positions.

DAMWON mid laner Heo “ShowMaker” Su secures the prestigious title as the world’s premier player. The Korean mid lane specialist maintained dominant form throughout 2020, with remarkably few opponents capable of matching his lane presence. He combines exceptional mechanical skill with profound game intelligence, establishing himself among the most cerebral competitors in professional history. ShowMaker’s adaptability to DAMWON’s strategic framework complements his extensive champion repertoire that proves challenging to counter through draft phase.

Support specialist Cho “BeryL” Geon-hee and bot laner Jang “Ghost” Yong-jun occupy subsequent positions, often overlooked in DAMWON discussions. This bottom lane partnership prioritizes reliability over flashy plays, explaining why teammates frequently receive greater recognition. However, their consistent performance under disadvantaged conditions enables solo laners to secure favorable matchups. Maintaining this consistency while playing champions not designed for lane dominance represents exceptional skill, justifying their superior ranking over top laner Jang “Nuguri” Ha-gwon and jungler Kim “Canyon” Geon-bu.

LPL players right behind to challenge DAMWON squad

The remaining elite rankings feature exclusively Chinese LPL representatives. Western players achieved respectable tournament results but failed to secure positions in this iteration of rankings. LPL competitors demonstrated marginally superior performance consistency throughout the competitive season, earning the remaining positions.

JD Gaming’s bot lane specialist Lee “LokeN” Dong-wook ranks as the premier performer outside DAMWON organization. Similar to DAMWON’s Ghost, LokeN emphasizes reliability over spectacular plays while maintaining exceptional consistency. His contributions proved instrumental to JDG’s competitive resurgence following his December 2019 recruitment. He transformed JDG from middling 2019 performances to securing the organization’s inaugural LPL championship in 2020.

JDG’s quarterfinal exit at Worlds limited their representation to LokeN alone. Following him are three Top Esports representatives beginning with jungler Hung “Karsa” Hao-Hsuan, subsequently bot laner Yu “JackeyLove” Wen-Bo and top laner Bai “369” Jia-Hao. Many anticipated star mid laner Zhuo “knight” Ding’s inclusion, but he failed to meet the extraordinary expectations established for his Worlds performance.

Suning’s emerging bot laner Tang “huanfeng” Huan-Feng completes the rankings, demonstrating his status among the world’s most promising young talents throughout the 2020 World Championship. He currently occupies the tenth position with strong potential for advancement during 2021 competitive season.
