I thought about doing a traditional Top X Players at Worlds ranking, but then you get to a crossroads where you have to rank a masterful, game-influencing support with a high-powered offensive dynamo in the mid lane. To make it a bit more streamlined (and avoid a few less pitchforks) Ive decided to rank the top five players at each position going into the 2016 World Championships.Thatll create less disagreements, right?... Right?Today we start with the top laners, and well work our way throughout the week until Friday with the best supports at the 2016 World Championships.Top Lane:5. Lee CuVee Seong-jinYoull see a trend where almost every position at the World Championships has three to four frontrunners ahead of the pack and then a sizeable gap to the second tier. Its no different with the top laners, and it was a difficult decision between Samsungs top laner, Splyces breakout star Martin Wunder Hansen, a pair from China and Team SoloMids Kevin Hauntzer Yarnell. After some deliberation, I sided with the region that has consistently brought the strongest top laners to Worlds. CuVee has been much improved in the second half of the summer split with the changing of the metas, and his performance in the playoffs and Regional Qualifier puts him slightly ahead of the clump of players in Tier 2.4. Lee Duke Ho-SeongIf we were to base this ranking off skill ceiling alone, Duke would be far ahead in the second-place position, only behind the best player in the world. Sadly, this isnt about simply potential, and the three players ahead of Duke have had better ends to the summer split. Duke, like the majority of his SK Telecom T1 comrades, will need to be better if the defending world champions want a repeat.3. Chen Ziv YiIm not a fan of the ahq e-Sports team. I ranked them 14th -- sorry, Taiwan -- out of the 16 teams coming into Worlds, and I only had them over the two teams from the wildcard regions. As a whole, I dont think ahq are a good team. Ziv, on the other hand, the teams top laner, is a world-class player and the saving grace of the team. While youre going to hear a lot about Liu Westdoor Shu-Wei and his incredible mechanics, dont be fooled: Ziv, not Westdoor, is the heart and soul of this club.2. Jung Impact Eon-yeongThings can change quickly in League of Legends, and no point represents that more than Impact. Three months ago -- heck, two months ago -- Impact probably wouldnt even have been near the top five. He was coming off an uninspired run on NRG Esports, and he was just starting to learn how to play alongside his new teammates on C9. Since the domestic postseason, however, has there been a more dominating player in his position? He has been on a pace where he is picking up a solo kill in-lane against his opponent in almost every game. Well see if it can continue at Worlds, but its not like Impact hasnt done this before on the world stage. Remember in 2013 when his Jax play was key to SKT T1s first Summoners Cup Finals victory?1. Song Smeb Kyung-hoIm not doing a personal ranking of players at Worlds, so Ill state it here: Smeb is the best player in the world. He has back-to-back South Korean MVP awards, and he shed the stigma of being a second-place finisher by starring in the Tigers win over KT Rolster in the summer LCK finals. All thats really left for Smeb to take care of is two things:A. Win the Summoners CupB. Defeat Faker in a best-of-fiveThe only thing you can take away from Smeb in his summer performance was that he didnt beat Faker to win his title. KT were able to pull back from a 0-2 deficit in the semifinals and upset SKT T1, leaving the team that had beaten the Tigers three straight times in the major finals watching from the sidelines.ROXs ace said it best in the first episode of Riots Legends Rising series:This time, if were able to attend Worlds again, and able to get to the Finals again, Id really like to meet and play against SKT, said Smeb. Up until now, weve been beaten too many times by SKT.And so, on the biggest stage, we want to take revenge. Marco Verratti Paris Saint-Germain Jersey .
