ShowMaker regains top spot in LoL ranking, Jankos enters top 10

The competitive League of Legends landscape experiences significant reshuffling in the latest global player rankings, with dramatic changes at the summit and fresh contenders emerging in the elite tier.

With multiple high-stakes matches unfolding weekly across premier circuits, professional competitors demonstrate peak form while vying for international recognition. The confirmed 2021 Mid-Season Invitational in Iceland adds substantial motivation, driving elite performers to secure regional representation at this year’s first global championship event.

ShowMaker Reclaims LoL Ranking Throne

The ongoing rivalry for premier positioning between DWG KIA mid laner Heo “ShowMaker” Su and FunPlus Phoenix top laner Jang “Nuguri” Ha-gwon intensifies, with the former reclaiming the coveted top rank this cycle.

Despite their recent collaboration on DWG KIA’s championship roster, these elite competitors now battle indirectly through ranking performance, potentially setting the stage for a direct confrontation at the 2021 Mid-Season Invitational. Currently, ShowMaker maintains leadership status following DWG KIA’s continued success throughout the LCK spring split.

ShowMaker’s synergy with DWG KIA demonstrates near-impenetrable domestic dominance. The squad maintains an impressive nine-consecutive series victory streak, securing pole position in the LCK standings with an exceptional 11-1 match record. Should ShowMaker sustain this performance level, he positions himself for additional LCK championship accolades in the approaching postseason.

G2 Esports’ Jankos Enters Elite LoL Ranking Tier

Marcin “Jankos” Jankowski represents the sole new addition to this edition’s premier ranking echelon. The experienced jungler consistently delivers exceptional performances throughout the 2021 LEC Spring Split, reinforcing his status among Europe’s most impactful players. During G2’s recent confrontation with Fnatic, Jankos demonstrated complete jungle control on Olaf, achieving a remarkable 12/0/6 statistical performance.

His Olaf mastery exemplifies numerous standout performances this season. Collaborating with G2’s roster, Jankos helps maintain top positioning in LEC standings with an 11-2 match record. Rogue stands as the only organization currently matching their competitive pace, though this dynamic may shift imminently. The impending G2 versus Rogue matchup launching week seven of regular season competition could determine playoff favorite status.

Jankos prepares to showcase his capabilities against Rogue, potentially ascending further in global standings with another dominant display.

North American League Championship Series Absent from Top Tier

The intense competition across major regions creates significant barriers to top-10 entry, particularly evident for LCS representatives excluded from current elite rankings. With LCK, LPL, and LEC competitors dominating premier positions, North American professionals face substantial challenges in climbing the global hierarchy.

Cloud9’s mid laner Luka “Perkz” Perković currently ranks as the highest-positioned LCS representative at 14th globally. Thus far, his leadership has propelled C9 to LCS summit positioning, establishing them as probable favorites entering MSI 2021 playoff qualification. Should Perkz maintain his current performance trajectory through upcoming competitive weeks, spectators may witness his breakthrough into the exclusive top-10 circle as the sole LCS representative.
