AD Carry

1. Park “Viper” Do-hyeon (Griffin)
2. Park “Ruler” Jae-hyuk (Gen.G)
3. Kim “Aiming” Ha-ram (Afreeca Freecs)
4. Park “Teddy” Jin-seong (SK Telecom T1)
5. Kim “Deft” Hyuk-kyu (Kingzone DragonX)
6. Gwon “sangyoon” Sang-yun (Hanwha Life Esports)

No player made a bigger jump in these rankings last week than sangyoon, who strung together some really impressive series in the teams’ series win over SKT. His Xayah was actually ban-worthy in that series and his play was far from that of a guy who was third in our pick for LCK LVP two weeks ago.

7. Moon “Route” Geom-su (Jin Air Green Wings)
8. Jang “Ghost” Yong-jun (Sandbox Gaming)
9. Sin “Nuclear” Jeong-hyeon (Damwon Gaming)
10. Kim “PraY” Jong-in (KT Rolster)

Support

1. Son “Lehends” Si-woo (Griffin)
2. Kim “Life” Jeong-min (Gen.G)
3. Cho “BeryL” Geon-hee (Damwon Gaming)
4. No “SnowFlower” Hoi-jong (KT Rolster)
5. Cho “Joker” Jae-eup (Sandbox Gaming)
6. Park “TusiN” Jong-ik (Kingzone DragonX)
7. Park “Nova” Chan-ho (Jin Air Green Wings)
8. Lee “Effort” Sang-ho (SK Telecom T1)
9. Ryu “Hoit” Ho-seong (Damwon Gaming)
10. Cho “Mata” Se-hyeong (SK Telecom T1)
11. Kim “key” Han-gi (Hanwha Life Esports)
12. Kim “Kellin” Hyeong-gyu (Jin Air Green Wings)
13. Park “Senan” Hee-seok (Afreeca Freecs)

I honestly cannot believe Afreeca is going into the playoff push with Senan still as their starting support. Actually, I can’t believe how good Aiming has been this split having to drag around a guy who is consistently losing lane while Aiming is winning it.

MVP picks

As the LCK season draws to a close, here are the picks for the five players who should be considered for the Most Valuable Player award.

1. Nuguri (Damwon)
2. ShowMaker (Damwon)
3. Viper (Griffin)
4. Lehends (Griffin)
5. Tarzan (Griffin)

LVP picks

And now those players who are making the case for the least valuable players in the league.

5. Senan (Afreeca)
4. Lindarang (Jin Air)
3. Nuclear (Damwon)
2. Grace (Jin Air)
1. Pray (KT Rolster)
