LPL Week 1 Statistical Breakdown

KDA & Farm Awards

First in KDA awards we have San and Supercat. As if the team wasn't dominant enough before, OMG's bottom lane stepped it up big time, and San really has his chance to shine now that Positive Energy and World Elite's godly bottom lane of last season are no longer existant and paired together. Supercat has also impressed, being on a team that was essentially the "Velocity eSports" of China last season.

Energy Pacemaker's mid-laner ties for top KDA with his amazing 15-3-23 KDA over two games. LGD, while a big name in DotA, hasn't done so hot in LoL so far, and their support has a truly terrible KDA of .7, with a KDA of .125 on his Annie game. Energy Pacemaker's DomhoX stands at the opposite end of the support performance pool, with the most assists at 35 in two games. Namei continues to be China's deity of farming with a 360 CS average.

Caomei's Rengar was a force to be reckoned with this week, and it won't be surprising to see it banned out in the future. The same can be said for ClearLove, who absolutely loves his assassin junglers, making this the perfect time for him to shine. Of course in the mid lane, the unsuspected superstar is SuperCat, who's come into the season very strong in their match against LGD.

Weixiao automatically wins the best KDA for marksman award since he has not died and has acquired 10 kills and 10 assists, a particularly impressive feat on this patch due to all the assassin jungles and incredibly hard to deal with top laners. Again, DomhoX was a monster on support in their game against LGD, and has a strong KDA to show for it.



Team KDA

There now exists a team that surpasses SKT T1's KDA in Masters (at least for now.) That team is Edward Gaming, the supposed super team of China who has managed to live up to their name this week. Perhaps the most shocking thing is LPL Summer finalist Positive Energy sits at the absolute lowest KDA at the end of week one with a 0.87 to their name.

OMG managed to only grab fourth place in KDA, being surpassed by World Elite and Energy Pacemaker at second and third. Positive Energy sits on the most deaths by far with 41.



Most Contested

When looking at these statistics in comparison to other regions, it's important to note that these games were played on patch 3.15 for reasons unknown. With that said, a lot of the contested champions add up to the more updated regional counterparts. Kassadin is still banned like the plague, but actually surpassed by Riven, who was banned in every single game.

Other hotly contested picks and bans still follow, like Lucian, Shyvana, Thresh, Elise, Renekton, and Lee Sin. Just like in Korea, Leona isn't as ultra-contested like in other regions, but was still picked in at least half of the games.
