Mad disrespect to Ruler... If KT had made it to worlds, both Deft and Mata would of made top 20. Ruler goes off against KT and doesn't even make the list.

Why should I trust a post without the posters name revealed and a link without a preview.

What about Imaqtpie. he's #1.

No one even voted for Levi, jungler from GAM? While many see the team as a whole as gimmicky (which I don't buy), Levi himself is unquestionably a top tier jungler.

Why no love for Biofrost? He is a support that makes so many plays for TSM. Not even an Honorable Mention. Bio plays what his team needs him to play and he plays just as well if not better than Gorilla. It is sad that these teams from KR get so much respect. It is like College football when the SEC teams get ranked so high and fail during the season and finally the playoffs. OMG Longzhu beat SKT. Losses happen but that does not make them the best in the world at their positions. Faker is probably still #1, but I am rattled that Biofrost did not make top 20. He deserves it. I have him 13th on my list.

I think Rekkles got snubbed here. Fnatic as a whole stumbled in the post season, but it was by no means Rekkles's doing. He did everything imaginable to drag the rest of Fnatic through. I really think he deserves better.

how the F is doublelift even on this list, if they actually factored how players performed in the previous worlds tournament. He wouldn't even be in top 50 (exaggeration maybe top30), he face planted so hard, which he even admitted (kudos to him since he's almost the definition of a person with a god complex) of playing horrible. Another example of NA bias, kind of makes me, they so called "Game Analysts" bring shame to me, my family, my state, and NA in general. They need to step back and be more objective.

I don't understand how Jensen isn't on here... Even TSM fans have to agree. C9 may not have the best regular season out of the other teams, but every year in worlds they step it up and prove why they made it, and Jensen is a big part of that. He has his bad days and doesn't do well, oh wait.... Jensen is almost always the guy you can look at who is consistently good. In losses, he puts up high amounts of damage and rarely dies. His KDA in the regular season was above 8. That's insane. And the the thing is, he isn't a KDA player. He has amazing positioning and knows his limits, he's so fun to watch play no matter what team you support. The fact he's not on this list when bjerg was near 10, and Perkz WAS SOMEHOW ON THIS LIST... I just don't get it.

This is actually one list I cannot be too questionable of. It shines proper praise on the incline of fresher players and the still existing cohesion formed out of the Longzhu members. In a way it does come to show that not every Korean player is top notch definitively; competition all year has been at a rough patch even among the best - a best on the year ranking would be a rather pain to go through.

As for those few questionable ones in case wondering: Meiko, Bjergsen, Scout, and Doublelift. Nothing against their positions; just felt they'd be lower (off for the latter) is all.

Jensen had the most dominant split in na history best bjergsen in all star team and he is not on that list ? What a shame !

I still have to question the #20 Choice as Doublelift, so many other players deserved it

Is missing one name... PEANUT

How did Doublelift (#19 - Jatt; #20 - PapaSmithy; Not Ranked - Deficio) surpass Perkz (#18 - Deficio; **#19 **- PapaSmithy; Not Ranked - Jatt)?

The real top 3 3: Khan 2: Faker 1: Huni The fact that Huni didn't even make it on the list makes me distrust it off the bat.
