LCS Spring Split 2020: Week 3 Player Power Rankings
By Josh Tyler
Support
1. Philippe “Vulcan” Laflamme (Cloud9)
2. Tristan “Zeyzal” Stidam (Evil Geniuses)
I think Bang may have found his perfect laning partner in Zeyzal, as the two play an incredibly calculated style and Zeyzal is more than willing to give up pressure to enable his ADC. With the highest kill participation and lowest kill share in the LCS, Zeyzal is truly a “play for my team” type of player and I think that’s something that EG definitely needs.
3. Vincent “Biofrost” Wang (TSM)
4. Nickolas “Hakuho” Surgent (Immortals)
5. William “Stunt” Chen (100 Thieves)
6. Lee “Ignar” Dong-geun (FlyQuest)
7. Jo “CoreJJ” Yong-in (Team Liquid)
8. Zaqueri “Aphromoo” Black (Dignitas)
He may be on a different team in 2020 with a considerably stronger laning partner, but a lot of the same problems continue to plague Aphromoo. He remains one of the worst supports in the LCS in terms of damage and vision. Luckily, he’s above average in just about everything else, so he’s much closer to the three supports above him than the two below him.
9. Andy “Smoothie” Ta (CLG)
10. Yuri “Keith” Jew (Golden Guardians)
