This is actually a substantially better looking all-pro roster than in seasons past. Kudos to everyone for seeming like they may have actually watched the games this season. My only change would be Meteos over Dardoch. I feel as though he has been substantially better on the playmaking front. While both have been well ahead of the rest of the pack from the jungle.

Saw Hakuho...anywhere...I'm good.

Best part of the top 3 teams made up the all-pro team. No surprise. What is a surprise is no C9 anywhere on it. Usually they have at keast one spot.

Kruvix3/25/2018, 5:04:32 PM3 votes

What a surprise Bjergsen is in it ONCE AGAIN, even though they barely made it to playoffs.

ROFL Sven over Sneaky and DL? Gimme a break.

jayy lmao3/25/2018, 10:29:34 PM2 votes

sneaky instead of zven would have been so awesome

OHMe3/25/2018, 2:48:47 PM2 votes

Aphromoo basically was everyones top SUP LOL, he's such a beast

Bjergson winning is proof that these things are just as rigged as a Russian election. Bjerg had his worst split in years, yet you sheep still seem to vote him top dog. Jensen getting second also supports this claim as he was the king of the chokers (C9) this split. Good thing this is more or less meaningless.

Coach Ssong = the one guy who didn't vote Huni as #1 Top.

Eilistraee3/26/2018, 6:29:23 AM2 votes

I would argue that Sneaky performed better as an individual player then either Cody Sun or Zven, but I'd be alright with Cody Sun taking the number one spot as his team play was on point. I absolutely do not understand putting him under Zven, though, who had an absolutely abysmal first half of the split. Even when Cloud 9 was struggling in the second half, Sneaky was generally one of the only people on his team to perform consistently. I honestly think the only reason he didn't get second was because so many people placed him in the first spot (unless they just go based on total votes, then I'm at a loss).

That being said, I'm not really surprised by how this shook out. Probably my biggest surprise is Bjergsen getting 1st mid as his first half was pretty weak, but he did have a hell of a second half so I suppose an argument could be made that it made up for it.

huh. I don't what is NA's obsession is with Bjergsen. He is an awesome player, no doubt. But this split, Febiven was much better than him even in matches that Clutch lost. Bjergsen played too selfish this split imo.

Would like to see a showmatch of NA all-pro team vs EU all-pro team. I know Rift Rivals is coming up in Summer but would actually like to see these all-pro teams play together just for an exhibition match.

Cody Sun instead of Doublelift. Hahahaha! What a joke

TrullMiester4/9/2018, 1:47:22 AM1 votes

When none of TL's players got into the All-Pro teams. SMFH.

Morticianjohn3/25/2018, 7:25:21 AM1 votes

If 4 of your 5 players are top 3 in their position in the league don't you think you should at least make the semi finals? Conversely how is it that a team in semi finals doesn't have a single player top 3 in their position....

Sir Hamcelot IV3/24/2018, 11:28:52 PM1 votes

Gotta say, I appreciate the consistency in the All-Pro team picks. Top-jungle synergy is always something important in matches. Seeing that the bot lane and top-jungle picks are on the same teams makes me think that the voters were also taking into account the connections between teammates in addition to performance. Admittedly picking Bjerger King I have a slight degree of reservation about, his raw talent makes it difficult to deny his place on the team. Then again the votes speak for themselves.

woodvsmurph4/9/2018, 6:04:08 AM1 votes

I know these were based on regular season, but... gotta love how not one player that wins the finals is anywhere on this list?
