The LGD Analyst known as Quanquan has uploaded a video onto the platform Bilibili on his team rankings going into the LPL 2019 Spring season. He goes in-depth by assessing each individual player on each team when deciphering his list. He ranks Invictus Gaming, Royal Never Giveup and Topsports Gaming as first, second and third while having Suning and Edward Gaming in fourth and fifth place.







Summary of his points on IG:





- IG is ranked highest at 405 points

- RooKie is one of the carries of IG, JackeyLove can also carry

- Ning is a special case, he has a lot of high ceilings and low floors however a lot of the spotlight is taken from him by RooKie

- Duke has always been consistent

- Baolan is the same, he needs to improve on his ability to protect in order to have the best performance

- Win condition: RooKie getting his hands on priority champions, botlane doesn't get too far behind

- Losing to TOP at Demacia Cup attributes to RooKie not getting a carry champion, JackeyLove being at a disadvantage and because TheShy did not play









RNG:





- Letme not starting and having a decline in performance

- Karsa has also declined but not significantly

- Win condition: Uzi carrying and Jungler leading the tempo

- Karsa doesn't have an incredible ceiling but he can maintain a strong performance

- MLXG can't maintain the most consistent of forms mainly due to him not getting enough stage time

- The current meta doesn't suit Xiaohu, so his rating dropped

- The botlane duo of Uzi and Ming is incredibly strong and has received an boost in average rating

- It's difficult for Uzi to fully utilize his carry potential in this current meta

- AmazingJ has never been higher rated than Letme





TOP:





- I gave Knight a very high rating, the same as RooKie, A+

- Knight has even higher statistics than RooKie in LPL 2018 Spring for the games he played but he hasn't played for a while so it may affect his current form, thus the same rating as RooKie

- Botlane is very consistent

- Cat is stronger than Ben, and should Cat play more, TOP may achieve even higher ranking

- Xx receives B-, which is already a very high rating for Junglers

- 369 is stronger than moyu in my opinion, even though he has a small champion pool, he can lane better

- Moyu is more experienced than 369

- Win conditions: Botlane can't lose out by too much, dependent on Xx's performance as he acts as the whole team's engine

This concludes the points he had listed in his video, which certainly shows no surprises for the World Champions to be in first place. Having TOP in 3rd place may be the biggest shock for most audiences seeing as SN presents themselves as a very strong contender for that spot. The speculations will continue for sometime as we are only a week away from the official start of the LPL season, premiering on January 14th 2019.
