League of Legends is firmly in the hands of the Asians in 2021. The lead in e-sports is making itself felt at LoL Worlds 2021. Half of the main round has been played: All 6 teams from Europe and the USA are in places that would mean elimination before the knockout games. The favorites from China and South Korea are even stronger than feared: Showmaker and Viper are the stars of the Worlds so far.
That’s what people thought before the start of LoL Worlds 2021: Before the LoL Worlds started, people were already critical about the chances for the teams from the USA and Europe:
- It was expected that all 3 teams from the USA would be eliminated without a chance in the main round
- The EU team Rogue was also seen without a chance: they had ended up in the group of death A, with the two tournament favorites DWG Kia (WM winner 2020) and FunPlus Phoenix (WM winner 2019)
- For the European team Fnatic they saw quite good chances in group C, they had “relatively easy” opponents from Asia
- The European team MAD Lions was even considered the favorite to win group D, because there was “only” the aging team Gen G. from South Korea and the US team “Team Liquid”.
Riot Games bans 18-year-old from LoL Worlds 2021 – game won, all lost
USA stand at 2-7
Here’s how it’s really going for the USA now: Things are going just as badly for the USA as you thought:
Cloud 9, the team around starting player Perkz, has landed in death group A after the play-ins – where the “Showmaker” show is currently running. The Korean midlaner plays LoL like from another star. Cloud 9 has lost all 3 games
100 Thieves, the champion team from the USA with German Felix “Abedagge” Braun, won only 1 game in group B, against the underdogs from Japan. 100 Thieves would need one or better two miracles against T1 with Faker or the favorites Edward Gaming from China to move on
Team Liquid in group D has been drawn with “LNG Esports”, a strong team from China, and promptly lost against them. Team Liquid sensationally won a game against MAD Lions, but are 1-2 from elimination.
This is the final opponent of LoL right now: DWG KIA, still undefeated.
Europe is also only 2-7
Here’s how it’s going for the teams from Europe: Rogue has no chance in group A, there was a win against Cloud 9, but they lost against the tournament favorites DWG Kia and FunPlus Phoenix, as expected.
Hopefuls Fnatic lost ADC with Upset before the start of the group stage and then took 3 losses in a row. Even on “relatively easy” tasks like PSG Talon and Hanwha Life, the “Church of Chovy”, the team failed. This looks quite bleak.
The co-favorite to win the tournament, MAD Lions Esports, has managed the feat of winning against the strongest in the group, Gen G. But losing to the “play-ins” team LNG Esports and the actually hopelessly outclassed Team Liquid. While MAD Lions is the team most likely to advance to the main round, they are currently the biggest disappointment of the LoL Worlds.
Showmaker and Viper not even dead after 3 games
Who are the stars of the tournament so far? DWG Kia’s midlaner, Showmaker, is playing a dominant Worlds. In his 3 games, he hasn’t even died yet. He has a KDA of 35 with stats of 14/0/21, which is even stronger than expected.
Edward Gaming’s ADC, Viper, is similarly brutal. He’s also considered one of the best players in the world and hasn’t been sent back to the well once during his 3 games. Viper comes in at a KDA of 31 with 11/0/21.
Over all 31 players from Asia are ahead in KDA. Santorin, the jungler from Team Liquid, comes in at 32nd place.
League of Legends seems to be firmly in the hands of the stars from Asia.
The star of “Keria” is currently rising at the LoL Worlds 2021. He has a KDA of 10.0 with 3/3/27 and is ranked 8th among the participants:
An 18-year-old is considered a “monster” and “genius” in LoL – Yet he plays the most thankless role
