As part of our Countdown to Worlds, we celebrate the Top 20 players of the World Championship.
Team - Samsung Galaxy White
Region - Korea
Position - Support
Signature Champions
As a rookie, Mata took control of a stagnant MVP Ozone (now Samsung White) team and led them to one of the greatest Cinderella runs in League of Legends history, winning Champions Spring 2013. With his boisterous shot-calling and impeccable vision control, Mata isn’t only one of the best supports in the world -- he’s one of the best leaders, too.
Since Mata has taken over the starting support role for Samsung White, the team has made it to the semifinals of Champions five seasons in a row. Consistency is Mata’s greatest strength, controlling his team under his superb game management and leading them deep in every tournament he has ever been apart of - except one.
The 2013 World Championship was the worst tournament in Mata’s career. His team failed to get out of the Group stage and didn't deliver on lofty expectations after a strong 2013 season. Now, back with long-time partner Imp in the bottom lane, Mata eyes redemption not only for himself but the entire Samsung White team. Aggressive in lane and a hawkeye when it comes to wards, Mata is the orchestrator of a team heavily favorited to win Worlds.
Check out the other players on the list!
