Recently, foreign media ESPN released the latest "League of Legends" global team combat power rankings, with the list data ending on February 19. In this list, 6 teams in the top ten are from the LPL division, but the top spot is still the GRF team in the LCK division. Currently, the GRF team dominates the entire LCK division with a record of winning.
It is reported that the six teams from LPL are FPX, TOP, IG, RNG, JDG and SN. Let’s take a look at the evaluation of these teams on the list by ESPN!
1.GRF team
In the past few weeks of games, with the loss of European G2 teams and North American TL teams, there are currently only two teams that have not lost, namely GRF in the LCK area and FPX in the LPL area. GRF teams have won the victory after last year's summer champion KT and overwhelmingly against AFS, so they remain at the top of the ESPN list. There is no LCK team that can play 55 with them, whether it is team battles, cooperation or super high game understanding. We would love to see GRF go to MSI to compete with the best teams in other regions, especially the LPL.
2.FPX team
Because IG team lost to LGD team and FPX still maintained a winning streak, FPX was promoted to the second place on this week's list. After winning WE and LGD, they achieved an unbeaten record of 6-0. They continued to show their super early ability with mid-lane Doinb as the core. Doinb selected heroes like Lisangzhuo to help the wingers gain an advantage. More importantly, FPX has a deep understanding of when to fight and when to maintain its advantages, but don’t let Doinb choose the mid-lane of the hot incense burner.
3.TOP team
The TOP team swept JDG with a record of 2-0 in the game before the New Year, and faced strong rival IG in the first game of the season, but their performance silenced all doubts, and defeating JDG also proved what a dangerous team TOP is. Mid-lane Knight single-killer JDG mid-lane Yagao, and his performance was equally excellent in team battles and laning. Although they are a bit hasty in handling mid- and late games, the team has been improving and constantly looking for solutions.
4.IG team
Obviously, since the LGD team has always been at the bottom of the league, after IG team lost to LGD, ESPN relegated it appropriately. ESPN believes that the game without Jackeylove will inevitably have a significant impact on IG. If IG continues to show this downward trend, then he is likely to be surpassed by teams such as RNG.
5.RNG team
Super AD player Uzi returns after the Lunar New Year. The team is currently in the running-in and adjustment stage. The addition of AJ has also improved the overall strength of this team and increased the diversity of the team's lineup. They both won when facing VG and EDG. As the core player in the team, Uzi's return will inevitably strengthen the team.
6. JDG team
Although he suffered a crushing defeat when facing the TOP team, JDG's monetization is still very good, including sweeping the BLG team. Flawless, top, mid and midfield lineups like Zoom and Yagao allow JDG to even have the strength to compete with the top teams in the league. However, in the duel with TOP, not only Bvoy and imp performed averagely, Zoom and Yagao were also restricted to a certain extent, and JDG may have a difficult time in the future.
7.G2 team
The G2 team suffered a Waterloo in the game in the last week and lost to the OG team. Despite this, G2 is still the best in the LEC division and is still one of the best teams in the world, as anything can happen in a single game, and G2 still has a better record than teams such as SB, JDG or SKT. G2 is about to face S04, which is another test for G2, a test of whether it can stay at the top position in the division.
8.SB team
In the early stage of the game, SB team was based on offensiveness than any LCK team, but there were still many shortcomings in some small team battles and details processing. After a mid-term disadvantage, many of the SB team's victory came from the 5V5 team battle, although they had gained considerable advantages in the early stage. But SB has been correcting these mistakes, and their victory is gradually no longer based on a lucky team battle victory. They are evolving into a solid strong team.
9. SN team
Before the start of the LPL league, RW team Zhang Wuji was called a rising star in the team. But RW is not a particularly strong team. Their victory is more about Zhang Wuji, just like the previous game where RW defeated SN. In the last game, SN lost 1-2 to FPX, and 0-2 to RW was even more worrying about their state. However, the combination of Maple and SMLZ still makes SN a significant threat to other teams.
10.SKT Team
If you think SKT doesn’t know how to use extra money and vision to suppress snowball games, then you must not understand SKT. In the game against KZ, SKT demonstrated their ability to control the vision and adapt to BO3. After the first loss, SKT quickly adjusted its state and tactics. Although the tactics used Khan as the team's tactical core Carry position, Faker did not give PawN any advantage.
