Hey! So where I work, we're doing a competition for worlds. It's sort of like a fantasy league so if someone can give me their opinion on the best players for each position? I only really know a lot about NA esports. Any help would be appreciated (:
Smeb is hands down the best top laner at worlds. If Rox wins worlds, it will be because Smeb just outclasses his opponents too well.
I'm not incredibly well versed on junglers at worlds but I would have say best jungler would either be Trick or Clearlove.
Mid is weird. Mechanically, Faker is the best (although you can make arguments for Scout). Bjergsen is up there as well and I think from a team synergy perspective might (I say this cautiously as I'm not sure it's absolutely better) be more impactful than Faker. Faker is the king of the solo plays and that's great and can solo carry SKT. However Bjergsen is so good at playing around his team that he can help his teammates carry pretty hard. So I guess this one comes to what you look for in a mid laner.
There are a lot of good ADCs. Uzi, Doublelift, Bang, Pray, Zven, even ForG1ven. This one is too close to call imo.
Supports are tough to categorize and to be honest I don't know that much about support players at worlds. I think Mata of RNG is solid, as is Gorilla of Rox and Wolf of SKT. Mithy from G2 is pretty good and has great duo synergy with Zven. Aphromoo is never someone you can count out, although I don't know if CLG will be in a good enough place for Aphro to be able to be the playmaker that he is.

Someone named OHminus did a tier list for each position. They are just his opinion of each position but I don't think I am going to take the time to make one and I haven't seen anyone else do so either.
The one I linked is the mid laners one he did and if you poke around the esports boards you should be able to find the rest. People in the comments of each have made their own lists too if you want to check those out.
I would put: Top - Smeb Jg - Clearlove Mid - Scout ADC - Deft Sup - Gorilla
