Getting to know Garen's abilities and leveling them in the right order is essential to playing him well. A good basic order for Garen to level up his abilities is putting the first point into Decisive Strike, followed by Judgement, and then a point in courage. From there, you are going to want to prioritize leveling Judgement but still be sure to level up your Ultimate when you can. Once Judgement is maxed out or close, prioritize Decisive Strike and then finally Courage. It is also recommended to use Flash and Ignite as your Summoner Spells. For runes, use Conqueror and get Triumph, Tenacity, and Last St

Master Yi is the biggest skip in percentages so far, being locked out of 34.22% of games. Much like Blitzcrank and Leona, Yi is far from a versatile tool but does a great job in the role he’s built for: having massive damage output and speed compared to other junglers and assass
Canyon spent the summer split proving that he is the best Jungler in Korea. His flexibility opens DAMWON's drafts and playstyles, preventing the team from being predictable. Mechanically, he can go toe to toe with the best. Canyon’s ability to both enable Showmaker and Nuguri while also inhibiting enemy junglers led Damwon to dominate the summer split, and potentially the international st

Debuted during the League of Legends Spirit Blossom event in the summer of 2020, Yone is Yasuo's older brother. He's a manaless assassin/skirmisher with a gap close, AOE damage, and on-hit effects. While many take him top lane, Sneaky of Cloud9 fame took him bot lane as an ADC in high-level ranked p
Yasuo has everything Yi has, but with a slightly higher ban-rate of 42.49%. While he isn’t fast enough to prevent targeting, his wind-barrier ability can make it impossible to land a ranged ultimate on him. It's also tremendously helpful in team fights and can completely negate enemy ultimates someti

Being the best player, on the best team, in the best region secures Knight the number one spot. Finding flaws in his gameplay is a tall order. He consistently gains advantages over lane opponents. He moves around the map and supports his team better than anyone. His understanding of his and his team’s specific win conditions is impeccable, and he brings incredible champion diversity to the World’s stage. Top Esports is the overwhelming favorite to take home the title and Knight is the catalyst for their succ
