How many of those guys are arguably the best players on their team?

  16. Jockster You have somewhat the right idea for the top 5. You seem to think however that the remaining supports from China and Korea are right below them... Another thing, is that you undervalue Mithy, Aphromoo, Swordart, and Likkrit. If you remove any of these player from their teams, and put in their subs, it would be much more detrimental, than if you removed Wraith and put in CoreJJ. If CoreJJ started, then I would say that almost nothing has changed(No offense to Wraith, he's an excellent support.) and that SSG will still(in all likelihood) emerge from Group D as the second seed.

I would've ranked Aphro higher, personally - he's been suffering due to his team struggling but he still looks quite good despite that. And I think Biofrost is benefiting from the strength of his team and looks way better than he legitimately is. Aside from that, pretty solid list.

Yea, Moo is too low..

And although he had an amazing split.... I think Bio is too high. Maybe time will prove this list correct.. but IMO we need more proof on Bio. Maybe just swap those two for now.

Bjerg is #1 mid NA. Jensen is fine. Bjerg is better.
