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

#19 - Sneaky

Team - Cloud9 Region - North America Position - ADC Signature Champions While Cloud9 has ebbed and flowed, Sneaky has been a rock for his team. He is the definition of consistent excellence both for North America and for Cloud9. He never has a bad game, always shows up and plays well regardless of what else has happened in the game. Sneaky's prowess has outlasted any meta as well. He has played support oriented marksmen like Varus and Ashe in 2013 and Sivir in early 2014. He has played aggressive midgame marksmen like Lucian, Corki and Draven. Most recently he has become one of the top Kog'Maw and Tristana players in the World based on superior positioning and mechanics. Often overshadowed by teammates Meteos and Balls, Sneaky had an incredible performance during the NA LCS Playoffs against both Curse and TSM and has proven that he is the best ADC in North America - and one of the best in the World. Check out the other players on the list! Who do you think is #18 on our list of the 20 greatest players at #Worlds? Tweet @lolesports or comment below to let us know!

Sneaky made it to 19 for the reasons mentioned above. Adaptation and consistency. Think it's well earned that he made the top 20 players going to Worlds and he deserves to be there if just for those two reasons. Plenty of spots above him for other adc's btw.

I completely agree with Sneaky being on this list. I would say he is probably the best ADC in NA overall for sure. True he doesn't have flashy "OMG" plays like some of the other ADCs, but something I have noticed is that he pretty much never get's caught, especially in a teamfight, and is usually the last one standing in a teamfight. His positioning is just outstanding, and he manages to deal insane amounts of damage while pretty much never being touched. That is a great skill to have!

This is top 20 people going to worlds, and there is no reason to compare sneaky with turtle because turtle is going to make it to the top 20 as well. Sneaky is really consistent at his role and a passionate player.

19th out of 80 not too shabby

I don't think Sneaky is among the top 20 players at worlds. Vasilli, Rekkles, Tabzz, Deft, UZI and BeBe are just the first adcs that come to mind that are better than him. If you're not even top 5 at you're position how can you be top 20 in the world ? He only got on because a ton of NA fans vote in these things.

i know this will get alot of thumbs down, but i dont think sneaky belongs on this list, vasilli and double lift are alot better than sneaky for na and thats irrefutable than sneaky for na, sneakys a good player and all but hes literally the worst member on cloud nine, lemon is more valuable he comes up with good gameday strategies with his notebook and helps coach team, hai is the shotcaller who decides whether or not to bring out the best in what lemon planned the when and where ust as impiortant as the plans themselves, meteos and balls are the consistent god tier players everyone fears and have carried and taken trmemndous pressure off of sneaky so he can be that rock the aticle mention ed above name one player in na that is either better than meteos minus iwilldominate from curse and dyrus for top lane relatiuve to balls who can EVEN HOLD UP VS THEM in na also balls beat shy and wicked and other strong worlds quality top laners, personally i dont think neither hai nor sneaky should be on the list but the other three i wouldnt mind mentioned especially balls and meteos for in game decisions and plus look at where cloud nine IS NOW WHEN THE META SHIFTED BACK TOWARD LANES FROM DOUBLE JUNGLE went from 8 n 9 back to the dominant form they once had, i would know this cause im a cloud nine fanboy and expect them to take home worlds and no we do not have to replace the worst member because sneaky and hai do their jobs really well, this is a team that came together not something that got melded together from other teams and stuck it through their struggles in the challenger serires for two years from season one to season three and developed this synergy, this is why we have the hardened cloud nine whose the best team na no its not tsm cause tsm isn't consistent and cloud nine is a team of five nothing is really wrong with them because they are a solid team of five thatas battle hardened and can roll with the koreans and alliance in a respectable manner even if they dont beat them or win worlds they will give the top tier a huge run for their money

Best ADC in NA? maybe. But all the ADC in those asian team are better than him. Deft BeBe Nami Imp Uzi Zefa...

4thHoeCage9/9/2014, 10:01:25 PM2 votes

I hope that they put Vasilli on here. He is consistently a monster, best adc in NA. Sneaky comes in second for being consistently good.

eSports Zhang9/8/2014, 10:58:28 PM1 votes

There are plenty of good players not in S4. But if Sneaky is on this list, no way Uzi, Namei, Deft and Imp not here. There will be a lot of ADC then.

I think that we can all agree that rekkles is the best adc atleast in EU and NA, Sneaky doesn´t have a chance against rekkles.

Sorry he is not even in the second tier among the Chinese/Korean ADC. He can get into top 20 because those journalists and analysts are from NA

Rawenus9/9/2014, 9:32:32 AM1 votes

I think the #18 would be 'fzzf', the support from Edward Gaming. He GARENteed so many kills for his team during the whole Season 2014 in LPL. He has a really wide champion pool, containing a couple of champions that are considered "off-meta" like Elise or Syndra. He never seems to leave his team alone, therefore protecting them to the very end. Well, he seems to be a little bit too attached to that playstyle, which can be a bad thing sometimes, therefore only #18 for fzzf.
