As part of our Countdown to Worlds, lolesports.com, we celebrate the Top 20 players of the World Championship.
Team - Samsung Galaxy Blue
Region - Korea
Position - AD Carry
Signature Champions
Meet the #1 player on Korea’s Challenger ladder: Samsung Blue’s Deft. Nicknamed ‘Samsung Alpaca’ for his likeness to the fluffy mammal, Blue’s AD Carry might not wow you in the laning phase with his mechanics, but all you have to do is to wait until the late game for the Alpaca Carry to takeover.
Unlike Imp on Samsung White, Deft is usually not a player that will get ahead early in the laning phase. He can fall behind in CS, get pushed around in lane, and might even give up a needless kill if things aren’t going his way. But, for all his shortcomings in the early part of the game, there is no AD Carry in the world that can control team fights in the late game the same way Deft does.
His kiting, maneuverability alongside his teammates, and knowing the timing to get in and out is what sets Deft apart from his counterparts. Blue’s insane late-game and ability to make mammoth comebacks are linked to Deft and Dade’s top notch team fighting and turning the tides of battle.
His main champion of late has been Kog’maw, using the champion’s long range ability to snipe from the backlines while the rest of his team cleans up in the chaos of battle. His stat line not be the prettiest when the ten minute mark rolls around, but don’t fret -- Deft thrives in the late game.
Check out the other players on the list!
