As part of our Countdown to Worlds, lolesports.com celebrates the Top 20 players at the World Championship.
Team - NaJin White Shield
Region - Korea
Position - Jungler
Signature Champions
Watch enters the 2014 World Championships as the only Korean player to make it to the world stage three straight years. Ever since Korean teams have been given their own Regional to make Worlds, Watch has been at the big event -- showing his consistency and experience when it comes to his game. While you wouldn’t classify him as one of the top carry Junglers in Korea, he has been a key reason why NaJin Black Sword made it to the quarter-finals in 2012 and the semi-finals in 2013.
When we talk about Watch, we have to talk about Elise. Lee Sin is a signature champion for almost top level Jungler in Korea, and while Watch has played over forty games on the champion, Elise is his go-to champion in every situation. 21-12 all-time in professional games on the champion, it’s a ban worthy champion that could be the key to Watch excelling or having to rely on a different champion he isn’t as good in.
Plagued with shaky play for most of 2014, Watch has caught fire at the perfect time. Playing the best Lee Sin games of his career in the Korean Regionals against the Bullets, Arrows and SKT T1 K, Watch washed away the doubts that he couldn’t stand up against Dandy, Spirit or the other elite Junglers at Worlds. If Watch can find the consistency that has eluded him for a majority of his 200 plus professional game career, we might see the ascension of Watch as one of the best players in the world.
Check out the other players on the list!
