As part of our Countdown to Worlds, we celebrate the Top 20 players of the World Championship.
#4 - NaMei
Team - Edward Gaming
Region - China
Position - ADC
Signature Champions
When Uzi was in LA in 2013, the world’s best AD carry was still in China.
Zhu “NaMei” Jiawen is the only player to have been present in every single LPL final, and he has just claimed his third consecutive LPL victory. NaMei’s ability to predict skillshot trajectories allows him to position such that he can do more damage than most other AD carries. With an adept zoning top laner like Koro1 to peel for him, NaMei is nearly unkillable, which allows him to plow through the enemy tank line without fuss.
NaMei isn’t just skilled in team fighting, however. NaMei’s understanding of minion denial allows him to lane against the best and come out ahead in both farm and trades. He isn’t content to leave his opponent undisturbed in the lane when he can go for the throat.
If one needs further convincing of NaMei’s power, look no further than his Jinx record. He’s only played the champion six times, but when he brings it out, he’s serious. If Jinx graces the international stage in his hands, you’re in for a SuperMega treat.

Hey, do you guys know why Namei is called "Namei"? Namei is the abbreviation of his original ID. "Na" means "that" and "mei" means "beautiful" in chinese respectively. His full ID is "Na bi hen mei" which is "that pussy is so beautiful". When he joined LPL to be a pro player, however, he had to change his ID due to his trash-talking. LOL
Apologies for problem with video clips. The code was improperly produced so it was linking to the wrong video. This should be fixed now as soon as the site caches.
I dont get it. You say '' NaMei’s understanding of minion denial allows him to lane against the best and come out ahead in both farm and trades.'' But I just watched all the matches between the EG and Royal club and Ugi beat Namei in all three of them in farm and in lane. Then how come he is the best adc?
