League of Legends: LCS Week 6 player power rankings
By Josh Tyler
Mid lane
1. Henrik “Froggen” Hansen (Golden Guardians)
On The Dive, there was a lot of talk about the top mid laner being one of Nisqy, Bjergsen, and Jensen. Froggen was mentioned, but only as an outside possibility.
Doing so ignores the fact that Froggen has 599 aDPM (best of all LCS mids other than Scarlet‘s 708.6 in his two games) and the best laning statistics of any mid laner (172g, 152 experience, and 4.4 CSD at 10 are all second-best marks in the LCS). Froggen might die more than any of these other top-five mids (I’m including the still-overlooked Crown in this group) but he also has the highest aKP due to his 74% KP, 30.1% KS, and 17.7% DS. Froggen and Hauntzer are largely carrying the Golden Guardians and Froggen, in particular, deserves some recognition for that.
2. Yasin “Nisqy” Dinçer (Cloud9)
3. Lee “Crown” Min-ho (OpTic Gaming)
4. Søren “Bjergsen” Bjerg (TSM)
5. Nicolaj “Jensen” Jensen (Team Liquid)
6. Tristan “PowerOfEvil” Schrage (CLG)
7. Ryu “Ryu” Sang-wook (100 Thieves)
Ryu has been credited (along with Amazing and FakeGod) as being the big reason for 100 Thieves turning their season around. I don’t think Ryu is carrying or anything, but he has performed solid and steadily during the Thieves recent run. Such was the case in Week 6, where he wasn’t the leader in gold on Corki in his two games, but he went a combined 7/4/9. Not stellar, but doing decent damage and not costing his team.
8. Marcel “Scarlet” Wiederhofer (OpTic Gaming)
9. Tanner “Damonte” Damonte (Clutch Gaming)
10. Eugene “Pobelter” Park (FlyQuest)
11. Kim “Fenix” Jae-hun (Echo Fox)
12. Max “Soligo” Soong (100 Thieves)
13. David “Yusui” Bloomquist (Echo Fox)
