oh god everything hurts

1:02:26 LMAOOO I appreciate this ranking, even if I wouldn't agree with everything. I personally would rate Caps higher, but it makes sense that he kind of dipped lower over the past few months. In the grand scheme of things, it's 20 total players in the WORLD on this list. To even make it on a crazy stacked list like this is a pretty amazing feat, especially as the sole representation of the West here. He really is that good. I encourage anyone commenting to take this list with a grain of salt if you disagree with it. You made some fair points. Well done! Really enjoyed these hot takes.

Jackeylove is definitely super undervalued! I still remember watching him live in Busan in game 5 vs KT, just flashes forward with no ult no cleanse no support and destroys Deft and Score. My fav player in the world ever since. great video btw, keep it up :)

Great video!!

This whole tournament was pretty goofy ngl. Scuffed as hell group stage where the team that was pushing Flyquest in scrims drops out early because of the rushed nature of the tournament. And a fun as hell bracket stage where almost every team looked like they had a chance. To me personally, it was a horrible day. AJ got KO'd by Dubois in the most awful manner possible and shortly after that eXyu misses 2 smites and loses the whole series which imo is equally horrible. A terrible split from Fear. They're all LCS players and they got toyed by Dragonsteel which has almost 0 LCS experience. And they lose to PNGA in a close 5 game series. Every series, every single player in Fear shows us why they're not in the LCS. Maybe ABO gets picked up by some team that is reluctant to import a midlaner. But the rest of the squad has a lot of _growing_ to do, to put it politely.

jackeylove over viper who solo clutched game 1 of lck final and got totally robbed of mvp in that series. Great thinking....

Aiming is top 10 easily there is no way he isn't on here

tier list is mid at best keria is trash viper at 13 is insulting tian and jackeylove 12, 11. lmfao okay caps is trash junjia not making the list is a joke. just goes to show how much you actually know what youre talking about and just following trends the rest is fine/w.e

nawww keria over zeus seems so illegal to me but SUREEEEEEEE I GUESS

Zeka 15 is so criminal. He is definitely the best player on HLE and it’s not particularly close.

Meiko at 4 and Peanut at 8 lol. Canyon also overrated

I think this is the most accurate rating of caps and viper this year. Great players yes but not the best every game and caps hasnt been dominant and has had bad series. Viper on the other hand has been stable instead of a true carry this year. Also huge respect for putting gala so high. Lng with scout are way underrated i think and i think scout is top 10. However to me wherever i place scout on this list tarzan is right their with hik in terms of how hard they carry their teams but scout has the next best player in gala over tarzan. I like how high youve put meiko. Man has done everything you can ask from a support. I think peyz is overrated. An adc on a team that can play every style and gives you amazing space. It easier to play. I think peyz is top 15 but not top 10. Lastly i think peanut has to be top 4 as hle beat geng through peanut with a doran who nearly wasted the series and a none carrying viper.

marvin did a test in los before the second split of cblol, and his results were worse than scuro(kabum substitute adc), frosty(red canids support player) and absolut(retired adc). In the end los opted for brtt because of his huge fanbase. The sentences above shows that Cblol's adc are mechanically good, he is just one of them, maybe he is lacking some brain in his plays, but maybe he already improved a lot, knowing that Titan is a player that always gives his academy team a special attention, giving them a kind of coach through the splits.

crazy peyz is 7

no bwipo??? he gaps all top laners

I didn’t watch, but it honestly doesn’t even need to be watched. It all so obvious. I could make this list in my sleep. Past 16 doesn’t matter imo, so I’ll just start from 16. 16 Caps 15 Eyla 14 Tomo 13 Sniper 12 Quid 11 River 10 Umti 9 Massu 8 Bwipo 7 Quad 6 APA 5 Busio 4 Yeon 3 CoreJJ 2 Impact 1 Inspired The list just makes itself, you can thank me later.

Aiming for Keria, Wei for Caps.

Its 4 days prior to worlds 2024. Right now, the only T1 player that should be in top 20 players of the world is Gumayusi. Rest have no reason to be in top 20, maybe honorable mentions. If you disagree, it's bias speaking.

zeka at 15 ok viper at 13 ok

My reaction to the honorable mentions was no way you put 369 and showmaker in honarable mentions but i thought about it and realised they are amazing in roles but havent been amazing all around players like in past years. However tarzan to me is easily top 10 in the world. When wbg look good and made lpl finals it was mostly off of tarzan in my opinon. He was playing mechanically great and was also making great rotations to help his lanes in almost every series.

im surprised faker isnt top 20. he is probably the player that is the most clutch during the most important moments.

I respect the list, but man. HAVE U SEEN AIMING THIS YEAR?

commenting for the algo. i would have zeka higher considering his worlds buff and how crazy he looked in lck playoffs

There's no way you put Keria over Zeus. Keria was absolute dead-weight for all of Summer and costed T1 so many playoff games with his solo int dives. Zeus was also inconsistent, but when he popped off, he was the pillar for T1. He and his Yone/Camille plays are literally the reason T1 is even in Worlds and not KT.

From your ratings, I can see that you think highly of LPL despite LCK looking better than LPL this splits coming from literally every analyst. Could you tell me why is that? I have been watching LPL last 7 years and it’s the first time I enjoyed LCK more than LPL.

This year my copium is maxed out, the west will have our best year since 2020 😤

I don’t get the hype for Canyon. 3rd is too high for him

Wei should perhaps deserve a honorable mention. And Bin is just a tier above even Kiin so I think he should be higher. Just look at how much of an impact he was able to make in the two t1 series and GenG series during MSI. Personally I'll put him number 3 or 2 and shift the other players down 1.

Finally see caps he was doing really well. I know will say only lpl and lck. Then I would say did people forget msi

This kind of videos looks cool I hope you are not like other youtubers like this 1 month and they are be gone. If you can make contact or collaborate with a pro player will skyrocket this analysis

you know senna isnt played fasting anymore

heck yeah

I think you literally cannot read patch changes Nasus e changes e max which is the reason we're seeing him it changes waveclear breakpoints.

no jarvan? what?

where is jarvan dude is SSSSS+ in solo Q

Skarner Tier 1 nice, I was trying him the other day and saw his winrate was low and was confused because his kit seems so good with all the CC he has

Apparently some pros are spamming Syndra beacuse of stormsurge

I kinda disagree with a major part of the list. I think top, adc and support are fine. I generally would put Poppy up a tier in support and put her in the list in top and I would put Rumble down a tier and Jinx up a tier but for the most part, I think it’s fine. The major problem I think is mid. The champion pool every pro around the world seems to be practicing is Syndra, Orianna, Yone, Ahri, Sylas. No Corki, Smolder, Azir and Tristana at all. I still think these champs could be played but we are most likely looking at an AP mage mid meta and with Ashe and MF and Jinx being strong we are probably looking at junglers like Jarvan and Xin Zhao being meta which enables counters like Lee Sin and Khazix. I don’t consider the Americas Challengers a good viewpoint about what is meta at all btw. If you look at SoloQ and inhouse it is manly AP mids and Yone/Yasuo that are being played.

I quickly scanned your jungle list, but J4 should be at the top, he's gonna be pick ban i think.

I’m stg fiddle is just hidden op there are specific matchups in lane where as a counter he just completely neutralizes a lane and offers so much team fight and choke point control on top of just one of the jungle clears rn

Honestly I don't see Rumble being top tier at worlds, a lot of his influence was his laning and skirmish strength but that got hit hard by the nerfs

i used to love lol eSports but over the last year it hasnt been the same for me i guess i just realized there will never be another 2019 g2 and the west is too far behind to ever recover. watching people like perkz slowly fade away was depressing to say the least. ive been subed for awile and love the channel to keep up with what i can

Would be really cool to see a video on your pickems as Worlds goes on!

Nice breakdown. I want to know you analysis about play-offs. 🇧🇷

yes!

In his postgame interview after their win over fear, Baula mentioned that the hate from the Brazilian fans probably influenced Dragonsteel quite a bit. As a sidenote, I hope the LEC or the LCS picks him up as an analyst. The guy was charismatic, spoke English really well and was generally a very likeable guy lol. EDIT: If he starts costreaming, I'm watching him over Caedrel lol.

I think a big reveal from this tournament has been who is *actually* closer to tier 1 ready, at least in terms of the NACL teams. Dragonsteel, the dominant team of full tier 2 prospects with no tier 1 experience, look completely out of sorts. Meanwhile, FearX, the team with a majority of the roster having tier 1 experience, haven't skipped a beat and even look sharper in some cases. It makes tourneys like this even more important going forward, to minimize more "prospect false positives" by showing who is lacking more when put under the bright lights and giving those players more experience with it.
