At League of Legends, the World Championship is taking place in Iceland. 2 players are currently putting on a monstrous World Championship: The South Koreans ShowMaker and Viper are among the best players in the world. The special thing: Both players haven’t even died during the Worlds yet.
These are the 2 boss fights:
- Heo “ShowMaker” Su (21) is the midlaner of the 2020 World Champions DWG Kia. He is frequently found at the top of power rankings worldwide. He is regarded as a LoL prodigy and is the player who reached 1000 kills the fastest in the Korean LCK.
- Park “Viper” Do-hyeon (20) is the South Korean ADC serving the Chinese champions EDward Gaming. He made a name for himself early as an ADC at Griffin, a team that flourished under a brilliant but controversial coach before eventually falling apart. Now, Viper has found a team at Edward Gaming where he can truly shine.
Korean achieves a monstrous KDA of 47 after 4 games
This is how ShowMaker is performing so far: ShowMaker is having an outstanding Worlds so far. He has scored 17 kills and 30 assists in 4 games and hasn’t died yet. That’s an incredible KDA of 47.
He has played two games against Doinb, the midlaner from FunPlus Pheonix: He is considered the second-best player in the world, but in 2021, he has not found his place in his two matches against ShowMaker.
ShowMaker immediately dominates the early phase of the lane, achieving an average gold difference of 578 gold after 10 minutes in the first 3 matches.
In the latest match against Doinb, ShowMaker played Twisted Fate and had a solid score of 3-0-9.
This is how Viper is performing: The ADC of EDward Gaming also has excellent statistics. With 11 kills and 21 assists, at 0 deaths, Viper has a KDA of 32.
Viper is regarded as the best ADC in the world; while he doesn’t exert as strong an influence in the early phase of his matches as ShowMaker, he really steps up in the mid and late game.
Viper’s team is known for executing complex strategies perfectly in the late game, taking few risks and smartly securing victories.
It will be interesting to see how many more will fall to the boss fights at the LoL Worlds 2021 before someone lands the first kill on ShowMaker and Viper.
Update: Surprisingly, the weakest team from Europe ends the streak
Update 16:34. After the article was already written, something extraordinary happened. Indeed, a player from the seemingly hopeless EU team Rogue managed to kill the boss ShowMaker for the first time.
Now, only Viper remains without a death.
Overall, teams from Europe and the USA have had few successes in this LoL Worlds:
