LCS Spring Split 2020: Week 6 Player Power Ranking
By Josh Tyler
Jungle
1. Robert “Blaber” Huang (Cloud9)
2. Raymond “Wiggily” Griffin (CLG)
3. William “Meteos” Hartman (100 Thieves)
A good week for Meteos, even if the team had middling success. Although Meteos has had some fairly inconsistent early game pathing choices (which is why he averages gold and experience deficits at 15 minutes), he has been elite in terms of vision control. His 2.04 VSPM is best among junglers by a mile (Blaber is second with 1.84 VSPM).
4. Lucas “Santorin” Tao Kilmer Larsen (FlyQuest)
5. Jake “Xmithie” Puchero (Immortals)
6. Can “Closer” Çelik (Golden Guardians)
A lot of praise is going to Closer for his play this year and I get why. He has the second-highest gold advantage at 15 behind Blaber and a good kill participation of 73.1%. However, I’m still seeing a lot of flaws in Closer’s game including his propensity to die in bad situations. His 2.8 deaths per game is tied for second-worst among junglers and he has the most unforced deaths on the year at 17.
7. Shern “Shernfire” Cherng Tai (Team Liquid)
8. Mads “Broxah” Brock-Pedersen (Team Liquid)
Broxah won Player of the Week honors for Team Liquid, going a combined 2/0/10 over the two games. It finally looks like the former Fnatic jungler has his feet under him in NA, and he’s proven to be one of the best junglers in terms of not giving away free kills. His 1.2 deaths per game and 3 unforced deaths in six games are tops among junglers.
9. Dennis “Svenskeren” Johnsen (Evil Geniuses)
10. Joshua “Dardoch” Hartnett (TSM)
11. Jonathan “Grig” Armao (Dignitas)
