#5 - Uzi

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

#5 - Uzi

Team - StarHorn Royal Club Region - China Position - ADC Signature Champions

The world is still reeling from Jian “Uzi” Zihao’s performance at the 2013 World Championship. If Faker was the standout mid laner of the tournament, Uzi was the AD carry to be reckoned with. Uzi returns to the World Championship this year under Star Horn Royal Club with all new teammates. And instead of farming for the late game and shooting holes in the offense, Star Horn is all about taking early risks and diving into fights over early dragons. Uzi often leads the charge, but his raw mechanical skill and the aid of his team keep him safe. During 2014 LPL Summer, Uzi had the highlight play of the split, almost single-handedly taking out the entire team of Invictus Gaming and picking up a 3v5 pentakill for his troubles.

StarHorn Royal Club will chase you down and catch you, and if you fall under Uzi’s crosshairs, only a swift reaction can save you. Check out the other players on the list! Who do you think is #4 on our list of the 20 greatest players at #Worlds? Tweet @lolesports or comment below to let us know!

No doubt UZI is still a top ADC in the world.

This Worlds is full of good ADC (UZI, Imp, Rekkles, Deft, Sneaky, even Candypanda). Too bad Weixiao didn't qualify and I won't even mention Doublelift, great mechanics but CLG is a weak team.

What are you smoking? UZI is best Vayne world and only that. Just take a look at some LpL games where UZI gets destroyed by Namei. And imagine how would he be destroyed by Samsung botlanes. UZI is a great player , don't get me wrong. But he is not the best adc.

"UZI is best Vayne at the world and only that. Just take a look at some LpL games where UZI gets destroyed by Namei. "... As a guy from where LPL happens, I can tell you: you are kidding, and you know nothing about LPL. UZI is still the best ADC in LPL with his deep champion pool, and never be destroyed by namei. It' s hard to say UZI is better than Namei, but you also cannot say Namei is better than UZI. Namei is good at group fight, but UZI is a better bot-laner compared to Namei. Go watch more LPL games before you make comments on LPL players.

i havent seen the lpl but that clip if uzi is even two thirds as good as that then seriously wtf like that clip is blowing my mind because i cannot begin to comprehend such mad skill by that vayne player like whoever lanes vs that guy definitely needs a box of lube because that guy looks insane

whitevestSep 16, 20148 votes

Team fight wise? Maybe Namei is slightly better in term of positioning caz Uzi sometimes will get caught. But mechanically, Uzi is the AD carry that everyone in the world, including Korean teams, should fear for. Namei and his old support Sica used to be considered as the deadliest bot lane in the world, but now Uzi paring with new support Zero, they certainly is the strongest bot land in LPL without a doubt.

Everyone just remember his flashy Vayne plays but actually, his Lucian, Corki, Caitlyn or even Ezreal, are just as insane as his Vayne.

hOt HoTSep 16, 20143 votes

Namei can even play Draven in games. Crazy！ But UZI will beat Namei or any ADC from other regions, of course, in a solo game, lol. mum.. if in a real 5 VS 5 game, hard to say who is better. To some extent, Namei will be a little bit better than Uzi as a member of a 5 people team.

Weixiao retired ;-;

hOt HoTSep 16, 20141 votes

what a pity : ( weixiao has fallen out of top 3 ADC in LPL before his retirement. Oh, wait, you are talking about S2? Yeah, he is No.1 ADC in the universe.

ZofasekkOct 8, 20141 votes

Weixiao was might the best adc in LPL right before worlds :#

justinmaxiSep 16, 20142 votes

YOU PUT CANDYPANDA, BUT YOU DON'T PUT NAMEI, FUCK THE LOGIC AND MY CAPSLOCK

Imperio EboySep 16, 20141 votes

Putting Candy in is smart, leaving Namei out not so...

justinmaxiSep 16, 20141 votes

Doublelift Kappa

FreeZamadomix1Sep 18, 20141 votes

CLG is a strong mechanical team in that each individual knows what they're doing, however it seems they make all their mistakes off of shot calling and positioning

ChôiSep 22, 20141 votes

Dude what the heck, did u even see the game between Royal Club and Samsung? Imp dude. Imp.

humpSep 15, 20147 votes

wow those mechanics are just amazing x.x

VazellineSep 15, 20146 votes

Yea, Because Braum,Vayne,Kassadin and Shaco are only 3 champions

Warper MobSep 15, 20142 votes

Shaco kinda came only to tank tower

KarickSep 15, 20143 votes

last 2 kills don't happen w/o Shaco (pretty sure he got spells off too). Either way, hard to call it a 3v5... Great play nonetheless.

VazellineSep 15, 20143 votes

Without shaco gragas would survive for sure - he slowed him and tanked the turret for at least 3 turret shots. About j4 I'm not sure..

FrozenFireVSep 15, 20142 votes

compromise: 3.5 v 5? - Kassadin & Shaco did 1.5 champion's worth???

KarickSep 15, 20141 votes

How did Kassadin not do 1 worth? Did at least half of Fizz's dmg and the opposing team blew everything they had trying to kill him while uzi went untouched...

And if ur going to try to justify it like that, wouldn't u have to admit that j4 and gragas constituted maybe .25 champions worth? Literally, the only effect j4 had was to blow uzi flash. So compromise, 3.5v3.25? lol

KarickSep 15, 20142 votes

He could have killed j4 w/o shaco, yes, but no way he would have turned and fought the j4+grag w/o the incoming shaco.

KarickSep 15, 20141 votes

Serious question. Even if it were only 3 champs involved (not the case here), can u really call it a 3v5 when its actually more of a 3v3 w/ the 2 late-comers getting cleaned up? I'd generally only use the XvY terminology when the teams fight straight-up. Stragglers not included. In this case, there are never more than 3 alive players in the vicinity for either team.

Cool, Namei, Pawn, Dade

SharkZhengSep 15, 20149 votes

mata. not pawn i guess

PhadafiSep 15, 20141 votes

Certainly Mata, he's the best support in the world and he's considered as good as MadLife. Also PawN is an average mid in Korea.

RessyMusicSep 16, 20141 votes

In Korea, Mata is pretty much considered MadLife 2.0

hOt HoTSep 16, 20144 votes

We call Madlife "the Korean Fzzf", lol

Mediocre JoeSep 16, 20141 votes

mata not Dade imo, Dade has been up and down if you watch locodoco's vlog he actually stated that Dade is overhyped. he isn't bad but he isn't as good as pawn. He also performed terribly at world's last year.

KarickSep 15, 20145 votes

Hate to be picky on such a sweet sweet play, but there were definitely 4 players very involved in that "3v5 pentakill" (w/o insec, those last 2 kills don't happen)

KarickSep 15, 20142 votes

why downvotes? Are you saying that insec/shaco was not kinda critical to the pentakill?

GrundmirSep 15, 20144 votes

And this is normal video presenting incredible skill combined with a bit of luck. Rekkles video was so dull and unemotional, Yellowstar and soaz did all the work for that overhyped, average adc, i had to stop watching after 3min.

0neSh0tGGSep 15, 20144 votes

1 Dade 2 Namei 3 Mata 4 Heart or Cool

YAYAYAY UZI!

quecomeburrSep 15, 20143 votes

Hey look a rating I and everyone else seems to be okay with overall. #5 for Uzi is pretty accurate IMO.

MorataSep 15, 20143 votes

Cool, Mata, Dade, Namei

GisckSep 15, 20143 votes

namei, cool, pawn, dade

justinmaxiSep 16, 20143 votes

4th- Mata, 3rd- NaMe1 2nd- Dade 1st- Cool.

NBBBBwarriorSep 17, 20141 votes

Guy your prediction is so accurate!

polder0321Sep 16, 20143 votes

can`t wait for his performance at S4 Vayne

ElaineJSep 15, 20141 votes

Should post the video of his vayne vs OMG in S3 Final.

ClamnSep 18, 20141 votes

High risk, high reward ADC who plays a slightly forward position compared to other ADCs. Either way, Uzi is one of the best and certainly one of the most fun to watch out for at Worlds.
