The Current Top Dogs: LNG, JDG, and Gen G
The trend on Platform X is hard to miss: a lot of users are ranking these three teams at the very top. For instance, @devallarahul is flying his fan flag high, seeing no real threat to their reign.
A Closer Look at the Three Dominating Teams
Suzhou LNG: From Snake Esports to the Li-Ning Era 🇨🇳
Hailing from China, Team LNG boasts a storied past. Originally named Snake Esports in 2013, their rebrand in 2019 came after an investment by Olympic champ Li-Ning. But despite the financial muscle from big investors and leadership from elite figures like Zika and Chang “Poppy” Po.Hao, a Worlds championship has eluded them.
Beijing JDG – a 2022 champion. 🏯
Straight out of Beijing, JDG stands as the heart of China’s E-sports. Fueled by E-commerce titan JD.com and spearheaded by 369 and Yoon “Homme” Sung-young, they’ve set their sights on the top spot. And their 3rd place at the 2022 Worlds shows they’re on the right track.
Gen G – The Underdogs with a Punch 🇰🇷
Wearing their Korean pride, Gen.G shines on the global stage. Known previously as KSV eSports, they’ve been recognized for their passion and tenacity since 2014. Back-to-back top finishes in the last two years position them as strong contenders for 2023: they secured 3rd place in the 2021 LOL Worlds and 4th in 2022.
There’s a growing sentiment that Gen G could be this year’s dark horse. With a 3rd place finish in 2021 and 4th in 2022, they’ve demonstrated they’re right up there with the best. JDG isn’t left behind either; they took home a LOL Worlds trophy with a 3rd place finish in 2022.
🎮 Nothing’s set in stone. With LOL Worlds 2023 still unfolding, there’s room for many upsets and the tide can turn at any moment. Who will rise to the top when all’s said and done? One thing’s for sure: the anticipation is through the roof!
