League of Legends: LCK – Week 5 power rankings – The Griffin show
By Alexej Vogel
These teams have been showing League of Legends in such a dominant fashion and reaching playoffs is most likely not their only goal for this Spring Split.
3. SANDBOX Gaming (A-)
League of Legends is in a very punishing and vast meta at the moment and this seems to fit perfectly for SANDBOX. They play very aggressively – too much at times – and are not afraid of trying out new things. Kim “OnFleek” Jang-gyeom is probably one of the best Camille players in the world but even he failed in their recent match against Kingzone due to too much engaging rather than waiting. With more experience and maybe the ability to keep calm, this team could be one of the three to represent the LCK internationally.
2. SK Telecom T1 (A)
The “dream team” as they were called this year is on paper easily a top 4 contender at Worlds. Alongside coach Kim “kkOma” Jeong-gyun this organization has made an impact on League of Legends like nobody has before and probably will. In an interview, kkOma promised the fans to show the fans the performance that they wanted to see; a performance that they’ll be satisfied with.” and so far he held his word. Though, there is a team even SKT can only dream of to beat as of now…
1. Griffin (S+)
The unbeatable and so far untouchable team in League of Legends Champion Korea. Griffin has not lost a single series so far and has only dropped one match against an aggressive SANDBOX they look like nobody will make them anytime soon. In 2018 they already showed what they are able to deliver dominating the CK with an overall record of 28-2. This team is stacked with brutal young talent and will not be satisfied until they win Worlds. We will need to wait for MSI to see if anyone can challenge them in their path to success.
