Top Players at Worlds – No. 2 and No. 1
As part of our Countdown to Worlds, lolesports.com celebrates the best players at the World Championship.
#2 - Cool
Region - China
Position - Mid
Signature Champions
Cool's back baby!
Cool dazzled the World in 2013 with his stunning mid lane play, but was forced to take a hiatus from playing for several months. Though Cool's recovery was slow, and he hasn't always looked in form, Cool is now finally the player he once was - and more.
While it's his Ahri that has traditionally impressed fans and opponents, he is now becoming known for his top-level Yasuo play -- a champion that plays right into his superior mechanics. And the Assassin meta has led to him playing some of his favorites, like Fizz, as well as other in-meta mages such as Ryze and Orianna. It’s a sight to see, and luckily we’ll have a chance to see that sight at Worlds.
While Cool may not have proven himself against since last season's demo against Faker on the international stage, he has dominated China in such a way that his greatness is undeniable.
#1 - Dade
Region - Korea
Position - Mid
Signature Champions
Forget everything you thought you knew about Dade. Forget the feeding on Ryze. Forget his small champion pool. Forget his disgraceful exit out of the Group Stage of Worlds 2013.
Dade is the best player in League of Legends.
After his poor performance at Worlds 2013 and a finalist performance at OGN Winter 2013-14, Samsung traded him to sister team Samsung Blue. Since then, he has been an OGN finalist twice, won another Championship and an MVP as well as an OGN Masters Championship. SK Telecom T1 K’s Faker may be the household name, but it is Dade that is the superior mid laner.
His mechanics have never been better, his champion pool has never been more in the meta, and his chance to win a World Championship has never been higher.
There is a new king of League of Legends - Dade.
