Faker – T1
The appearance of Faker at each World Worlds always causes the heat to increase, and this year is no exception. Failure at the 2022 LCK final did not make Faker's attention, he was still a monument, a legend of the world League of Legends.
There is one fact that no one dares to deny that Faker is now not a top laner in the world, he is not able to go compared to ChoVy, but before the clozer or Vicla, the Demon King still has to “breathe oxygen”. The only thing that makes Faker still fine is that he knows how to keep himself from death during the road, then playing make Play in most of the match time.
But it was in the domestic arena, while coming to the international, Peanut prospect of Faker carefully cared for the final match would be recreated, especially when the Blaber of Cloud9 or Jiejie of EDG was ready to create strokes in front of the legendary life.
It would be difficult to require Faker to win Jensen or Scout, it would be too much if he wanted him to perform his superior skills like the peak of 2016-2017, what we could do now was just enjoying the little moments that he still played.
Faker had not been striding like the peak, he was tired and exhausted. But what Faker is still experienced, is the leadership quality, and most importantly, the number of fans is mighty watching him day by day. Despite knowing that Worlds 2022 will be difficult for T1 in general and Faker in particular, but the door to the quarterfinals is still open to the LCK runner -up.
Xiaohu – RNG
Referring to Faker's failure at MSI 2022, it is impossible to ignore the person who directly affects that failure; No one other than Xiaohu. Tieu Ho from the place of losing to the Demon King gradually stood up and affirmed the name and convincing performance at MSI recently also helped Xiaohu escape from psychological ghosts that cling to him all the years.
Back to the summer variables, when Gala could not fight with other rivals, Xiaohu was the most solid pillar that the Royal Army believed. The proof is that RNG is carrying 28% of damage in the group stage and regional qualifying. The Bo5 series with EDG at the playoffs Xiaohu did not do much because he chose the generals that were bone -background as the main background, but the squad no one was able to carry the team.
At Worlds this year, Xiaohu & Rng must go up from the starting round, where he has the opportunity to confront a series of names under his muscles. The performance for the past 3 days has proved why he is one of the best mid lines in the world. In the case of Xiaohu in the group stage, he will be in the same table with Geng, then the confrontation between ChoVy & Xiaohu will become extremely expected.
Knight – TES
Knight was once praised as Faker season 3 in 2020, but at the World Worlds, Knight did not show too much. By this season, Knight and Top Esports have returned extremely strongly. In the Summer LPL group stage, Knight accumulated KDA up to 10.0, 26% of TES's damage and participated in defeating up to 73%. Entering the Playoffs, Knight has improved the ability to deal damage but he no longer holds other indicators at the perfect level as before.
With Knight, many viewers call this ChoVy Chinese version, when capable of carrying the team extremely powerful. Knight's skill at this time can be considered the most excellent in the world, the problem is only in the middle of the TES, whether Tes is like 2 years first.
At this year's Worlds, Knight will enter the group stage against Larssen of Rouge and Kati of GAM, it seems that these two names are not strong enough for Knight, but more or less he and Larssen will be a mild remote dose before Knight has to clash with other horned names in the quarterfinals.
Yagao – JDG
Referring to Knight, people will immediately remember the couple who advanced with him named Yagao. Since childhood, the two have become close friends together in the city, and now they are serving the two strongest teams in China.
Talking about Yagao this summer, there is nothing to describe exactly outside the two words perfect. From lane to combat, from microphone to macro yagao are very good. Yagao was not completely carrying the team like Knight, because Jingdong's squad had a terrible Hope gunner in the summer meta. At that time, Yagao retreated to protect Hope as much as possible, he took the initiative to use the generals as the background like Lissandra, Ryze; Or Cover Gunner like Azir, Galio, and when needed Yagao can completely create a powerful mutation with the Ahri -tailed ripe fox.
During attending Worlds in 2020, Yagao and JDG were defeated by Suning in the quarterfinals, and now “pounding rice” is coming to regain what is lost. In this year's Worlds group stage, Yagao will have the opportunity to encounter Caps and Showmaker, two names that have affirmed their names in the international arena. However, both Caps and Showmaker do not have a really good form, and this is the time for him to speak up, confirming his name in the land of the flag.
ChoVy – gene
ChoVy is considered the most expected gamer at Worlds this year, and above all ChoVy has never attended the tournament in such a strong team. All parameters of the prodigy at the Summer LCK are at the top of all other mid lane players; Chovy also defeated Faker thoroughly in the last final, but it was probably only indispensable because ChoVy's level was too superior. What the former lane between Griffin was not in the previous years was really quality teammates.
Coming to Worlds this year, Geng in the mind of the candidate for the championship, and ChoVy is the last wall, a maximum challenge that those who want to break the limit to overcome. ChoVy will launch in Group D, 2 opponents directly to him will be the Mission of CFO & Abbedagge of 100 Thieves; Obviously these are the players under ChoVy too far.
The challenge may come only if RNG conveniently passes the starting round, then the new Xiaohu and Chovy matches are more or less considered balanced. The responsibility of Geng is large, and the pressure to bring glory to himself, the team, the area on the shoulders of Chovy is not small; Wish Ji-Hoon will receive a happy ending at Worlds this year.
