This year we have quite unique configuration: both Zeus and TheShy make to their 2nd Worlds Finals. Before them only CuVee did it in 2016-2017. But because he lost his 2016 Finals (5 full games, if you know what I mean, Zeus), we yet have no toplaner who actually win 2 Worlds titles.
We have midlaner who win in it twice (Faker), we have ADC (Bang), we have supports (Wolf and BeryL), we have jungle (bengi), but no toplaner. Will TheShy be the 1st or will Zeus repeat CuVee trajectory and win it all after a loss year ago in full best-of-5 series?
All toplaners who win Worlds:
- ShuShei/xPeke (there was no such concept as toplaner back in the day) – Fnatic
- Stanley – TPA
- Impact – SKT
- Looper – SSW
- MaRin – SKT
- Duke – SKT
- CuVee – SSG
- TheShy – IG
- GimGoon – FPX
- Nuguri – DWG
- Flandre – EDG
- Kingen – DRX
Duke was a sub on IG in 2018, playing 5/18 games at Worlds.
