As part of our Countdown to Worlds, lolesports.com celebrates the Top 20 players at the World Championship.

#16 - XiaoWeiXiao

Team - LMQ Region - North America Position - Mid Signature Champions North America was not ready for XiaoWeiXiao at the beginning of the 2014 summer split. He and his LMQ squadmates came into the LCS with a blast, going 4-0 in their first week in the league. They didn’t let up, either, finishing third in the playoffs. You can always expect XiaoWeiXiao to show up to play, but he’s anything but predictable. He can snipe with ranged casters like Twisted Fate or Orianna. He can blow single targets up with assassins like Zed. And that’s not even mentioning his impeccable Yasuo play - he did get a pentakill on the samurai at the NA summer playoffs, after all. Even when behind, XiaoWeiXiao’s aggression never gives way. To deal with LMQ, you’re going to have to deal with him. Check out the other players on the list! Who do you think is #15 on our list of the 20 greatest players at #Worlds? Tweet @lolesports or comment below to let us know!

"These rankings are based on the importance to their team, individual skill, strength at their position, and intangibles such as leadership, consistency and clutch play." I'd say xiaoweixiao is in front of gogoing because of the intangibles aspect as well as importance to his team. Remember the criteria in which this list is based on. It isn't a battle royale type of list where individual skill is the sole means of rating a player.

I just can't see XiaoWeiXiao being in the top 20. Don't get me wrong, he's a good player but... I just can't see it.

I personally just dont think XWX deserve this spot cuz bunch of players can outperfom him. He's pretty good in terms of farming but when it comes to teamfight, his decision-making and focus were always disputed. Riot just wise up and do some good picks plz...
