As part of our Countdown to Worlds, we celebrate the Top 20 players of the World Championship.

#6 - Froggen

Team - Alliance Region - Europe Position - Mid Signature Champions Froggen and his handpicked Alliance squad came out swinging in the 2014 EU LCS Summer Split, managing to sit pretty at the top of the standings all split. Thanks to his excellent leadership and top-notch mechanics, the veteran mid laner was able to dominate throughout the regular season and eventually go on to become the MVP of the EU LCS Summer Playoffs. Known in large part for his famous Anivia play, Froggen keeps games interesting with his unorthodox strategies, deep champion pool, and unique builds. His innovative play led him to the top of the KDA charts for three LCS splits in a row, and his dedication to League is encouraging even to other top tier pro players. After failing to make it to Worlds last year, Froggen seems more determined than ever to lead his team to an amazing showing at this year's Championship, and to prove himself on an international level. Check out the other players on the list! Who do you think is #5 on our list of the 20 greatest players at #Worlds? Tweet @lolesports or comment below to let us know!

Incoming massive outrage (OUTRAGE!) that <put any NA or EU player here> is higher than <put any Korean or Chinese player here>.

Froggen is the biggest mastermind of the Western World, I know he is no Korean, but he is a legend, quit bitching.

Yes I've read the guidelines and know his importance to his team. But 6? really you guys have to think that's a bt high no?

What a joke. The perfect spot for Froggen was clearly #8.

Dear lord, every time I log on to see this who made the list (a list that doesn't state they are the BEST IN THE WORLD AT THEIR ROLE but the Importance they have to their team.) -most of you b***h. Really think about it for a second.... How important is Berg to TSM over Deft to SSGB? Deft IS already on a team that doesnt need him to completely carry **why?? **because it isn't just a one player beast team. They are already superstars. Infact the top tier teams that even made the list are kinda shocking because each one of there players makes a difference. Lets say Korean Wins- SSGW or B w/e "Pawn" is held at the number spot. That tells me his team needs him because they cant do. Tells me he is the better player and that if he loses his team loses and doesnt matter how good or how fed Imp is they will always lose without Pawn.... or SSGW isnt going to completely get wrecked without Imp preforming. Why? Because Pawn and Mata. Sneaky making the list pisses people off. Using my "understanding" on how the guys are listing these people where they are I understand!.. C9 isnt going to Win or Lose because of Sneaky losing badly or being a fed monster. He is important for the reasons they had posted. He is SOLID. Now Alliance needs Froggen to preform honestly they would lose without him not because they are bad because what element he brings to the team. Berg gives much needed leadership to his TSM team thats why he is so far on the list not because he is better then the ones listed before.

IN SUMMARY I THINK ANY PEOPLE LISTED LOWER THEN 8 HAVE TO BE STANDOUT SUPERSTARS ON A TEAM. Its foolish to think Pawn is the only great player on the team and he carries them always and they need him so i don't expect him to be on the list if he wasn't listed already.

Thats just one way of looking at it. The other way is to take everything into account like the Riot people have been doing and leave it be. Let worlds decide whose the best teams and let the players show why they are the best. You don't like the list? Suck a di*k and get over it.

Last thought, NA has to stop making excuses for w/e place we end up in. EU, you aren't better then NA right now at least according to the last international contest between these regions it goes KR>CN>NA>EU>GPL>Other. EU: "BUT THAT WAS SO LONG AGO!" Yeah so was 2013 Worlds. Let it go. EU: "But our Scrims are so good because we are beating Korean teams!" Ya from what i have heard you aren't positive vs NA in those either. EU: "Scrims aren't offical" Yeah so let these Worlds decide.... till the next international clash. Either way stop being pissed you are viewed as the lesser region and stay positive that your teams can make a mark.

I disagree with this placement, no matter what they factor in, rekkles was player of the year in EU, therefore, no EU player should be ranked higher. think rito, PLS! froggen was only playoff mvp because alliance won, and it would look stupid if they gave that to rekkles, though rekkles still is a better palyer.

i love froggen :3

Incoming EU circlejerking about how good EU is until they get destroyed by Korea once again

Both for Rekkles (on Lucian) and Froggen (on Ziggs) the same teamfight is used to display their skill. And both are the last men standing. Great stuff :D

I would have put Froggen at least top 5 but number 6 is a good spot. He is definitely the best player from the west. He and Alliance will be great at worlds

TalonRR19/16/2014, 6:03:47 PM1 votes

I think think this position is about right for Froggen. Froggen and Rekkles are the best western players and they are the highest on this list so that's good. Some korean and chinese players will be higher but in the end the tournament will show who's the best :).

froggen and balls are the only two i would place along with the koreans i didnt mention xiao weixiao cause hes from lpl region and came over here but he deserved a spot sneaky doesnt deserve a spot over balls and meteos who are way more important to success of cloud nine than sneaky is like xiaoweixiao and bergsen need to be switched in the order cause xiaoweixiao and did bjergsen beat faker no, but did xiaoweixiao yes and xiaoweixiao is bjergsen ceopt with a much higher cs total and ability to singlehandedly win a game bergsen still needs one person to show up along with him to win and balls is just insane for na nobody not even the second best top dyrus can lane vs him

even if there chance of winning the worlds is low i'll always support them :D go ALLIANCE summoner 4

Froggen deserve to be in top 10, but I think Bjergsen is quite better than Froggen .. About MVP, don't forget on Rekkles .. his mechanics are beyond human understanding
