Here are your 2015 All-Star Event representatives
Here are the regions playing together as part of Team Fire and Team Ice.
After six days of voting and over 52 million votes, your votes for the 2015 All-Star Event teams have been calculated for the five major regions of competitive League of Legends. Here are the results.
As a reminder, here are the regions playing together as part of Team Fire and Team Ice on December 10-14:
Team Fire
- LCK
- NA LCS
- LMS
Team Ice
- LPL
- EU LCS
- IWC*
*Decided at the IWC All-Star Event on November 26-29
NA LCS
- Top: Dyrus
- Jungle: Meteos*
- Mid: Bjergsen
- ADC: Doublelift**
- Support: Aphromoo
**Voted in as member of CLG, despite being on TSM now
If the Worlds Group Stage didn’t give you enough Dyrus, you’re in luck! The recently retired Team SoloMid top laner headlines the NA LCS All-Stars, alongside his former teammate Bjergsen, who is representing NA in the mid lane for the second year in a row. Bjergsen earned the most votes from North America, marking the second time in a row he has done so.
The two TSM veterans are also joined by TSM’s new super star AD carry, Doublelift. And just to clarify, Double is attending All-Star based on his 2015 Season with CLG — the fact that he’s on TSM now doesn’t prevent him from playing in the event. Joining Doublelift in the bot lane will be his former lane partner, and CLG support, Aphromoo. Fear not, friends, the Rush Hour bot lane has always been great. Finally, we have Cloud9’s jungler Hai, who will guide the team from the jungle with his famous shotcalling. Though he’s swapping to support in 2016, Hai still has some tricks to show us in his role from 2015. Make sure you catch the last time he’ll play jungle in competitive play for the foreseeable future!
Will the North American All-Stars redeem themselves after #ZeroAndTen?
*[Editor’s Note: Hai has decided not to attend ASE 2015. Meteos will play on the NA LCS team in his place.]
EU LCS
- Top: Huni
- Jungle: Amazing
- Mid: Froggen*
- ADC: Rekkles
- Support: KaSing**
**Replaces Yellowstar due to the rule of a maximum of two players from each team attending
HOLO HOLO HOLO! Huni heads to his first All-Star Event, marking the first time a Korean born player will represent a different region at an All-Star Event (along with the LPL’s RooKie below). Huni earned more votes than anyone in Europe, and the highest percentage of votes (55%) from any top laner in the world! Europe’s most popular player will make his presence known at the event, especially alongside Origen’s jungler Amazing and mid laner xPeke. Despite his popularity and considerable following (easy, ladies!), this is actually xPeke’s first time being voted into the All-Star Event. Considering his diminished role in Origen’s starting lineup next Season, this will be one of the best chances to get up-close-and-personal with the World Champion mid laner.
Continuing our theme of Worlds Semifinalists is former EU LCS MVP, Fnatic’s ADC Rekkles, who narrowly won the vote over Origen’s Niels by just under 2%. With Rekkles‘ reputation for being a team-fight specialist, we’ll now get to see how he plays with others in a 1 vs. 1 scenario. Finally, while Fnatic captain and reigning EU LCS MVP Yellowstar won the vote for support, the rule against three players from the same team playing at ASE prevents him from attending. And because he had the lowest vote total of the Fnatic players, replacing him will be former H2K member, and current TSM support, KaSing. KaSing has been well regarded by his H2K and TSM teammates and has placed highly in MVP and All Pro voting each of his splits in the EU LCS. But one of the best aspects of KaSing attending All-Star is that we’ll get some team kill action in when he plays against his bot-lane partner Doublelift in the NA vs. EU 5 vs. 5 match.
Will the EU LCS continue it’s good international run at All-Star 2015?
*[Editor’s Note: xPeke has decided not to attend ASE 2015. Froggen will play on the EU LCS team in his place.]
LCK
- Top: MaRin
- Jungle: Score*
- Mid: Faker
- ADC: PraY
- Support: Madlife
*Replaces Bengi due to the rule of a maximum of two players from each team attending
It’s SKTelecom’s world, we’re just living in it. Leading off the Korea All-Star team is reigning Worlds MVP and SKT’s top laner MaRin. In the era of carry top laners, MaRin turned out to be the one true king — it’ll be great to see what he can do in 1 vs. 1 matches at the event. In the jungle, we come to the once-immortal Score, jungler from KT Rolster, who replaces SKT jungler Bengi due to the rule of only two players from a single team being able to compete. At the beginning of this Season, Score made the swap from ADC to jungle to help the combined KT lineup, and has since evolved into one of the best junglers in Korea.
Starting in the mid lane is the Demon King Faker, who has been instrumental in SKT’s success over the past several years. The God of 1 vs. 1s and highlight reels everywhere earned the most votes of any Korean player, and highest percentage of votes of any mid laner (77%). We finally come to the first position that a non-SKT member won, with PraY of KOO Tigers taking the ADC spot. After a brief retirement in 2014, PraY joined his team of friends to take over Korea — they rode their momentum all the way to the World Championship Finals. PraY will be playing with another of the old Korean favorites — the God of bot lane himself, Madlife, who makes his third straight All-Star Event. Madlife first rose to prominence in 2012 behind his insane Blitzcrank, and eventually Thresh, mechanics, but has remained a popular and elite support in the time since. How will the hand of God play in All-Star 2015?
Can Korea prove it’s the best and lead Team Fire to victory?
LPL
- Top: Koro1
- Jungle: Clearlove
- Mid: Rookie
- ADC: Uzi
- Support: PYL
China’s All-Star squad underwent a transformation this year — the popular players of yesteryear have been ousted, and a new generation of stars has emerged. Edward Gaming’s top laner Koro1 makes his All-Star debut after a rough Summer of medical issues that kept him from performing up to the level he displayed at the Mid-Season Invitational. Joining him is EDG teammate and legendary jungler Clearlove, who earned the highest number of votes of any player in the world (2.4 million) and highest percentage of votes for a jungler (62%). The Kate Upton of the Rift had perhaps the best year of his career in 2015, leading his team to a major international title for the first time since IPL5.
Perhaps surprisingly, the only Korean national on the LPL All-Star team is RooKie. After making the move to China in 2015, RooKie has been a stellar duelist, who’s highlight reels have posterized many of his rival mids. On the other hand, it should come to a surprise to no one that two-time Worlds Finalist Uzi has been voted for ADC. After a rough Season as part of OMG, where he was sometimes even benched, Uzi will hopefully have some fun again at All-Star, where he enjoys a healthy fan following in North America to this day. Finally, supporting Uzi in the bot lane will be team LGD Gaming’s captain and shotcaller PYL. The smiling, and sometimes masked, support was instrumental in his team’s success in winning LPL Summer 2015, and he’ll be sure to keep the smiles coming when he plays at All-Star 2015.
How do you think China will perform with a new generation of star players in the spotlight?
LMS
- Top: Ziv
- Jungle: Karsa
- Mid: Westdoor*
- ADC: Bebe
- Support: Olleh
*[Editor’s Note: Toyz has declined participation in ASE 2015. Westdoor will play on the LMS team in his place]
The LMS had its best World Championship since 2012 this season, and representing the league at All-Star, we have a combination of old favorites and rising talents. Descending from the top lane is Worlds Quarterfinalist Ziv. In addition to earning the most votes of any LMS player, Ziv helped guide ahq through the Group of Death behind his great carry play. In the jungle is another Quarterfinalist from this year’s Worlds, Karsa, whose play throughout the Groups was among the best of any jungler in the tournament. Considering he’s a relative newcomer, and he didn’t even begin 2015 as a starter, this could be the first of many All-Star Event’s for Karsa. Unlike the rising star in the jungle, LMS’s mid laner is one of the oldest of the old guard — the original Orianna, Toyz. Toyz had a very good year in the LMS after finishing second to ahq in LMS Summer 2015, but barely lost out to Flash Wolves in the Regionals to miss Worlds.
Joining Toyz is another Season 2 Champion, former Taipei Assassins ADC, and current Assassin Sniper member, Bebe. Bebe originally planned to retire at the end of 2014, but came back in 2015 Summer on a whim and surprised many by qualifying a team of journeymen players into the LMS. Finally, we come to the ultimate journeyman, Hong Kong Esports support Olleh. Olleh is a Korean-born player who has played professional League in Korea, Brazil, and now the LMS. He has quickly become a fan favorite in every region he’s played in, and that continued in Taiwan where he both made great highlights, and was a strong leader for his team.
Will the LMS success from Worlds continue at the 2015 All-Star Event?
IWC
- Top: Smurf
- Jungle: Dimajke
- Mid: Kira
- ADC: LeX
- Support: Dimonko
Beating Turkey by just 10 points, the Commonwealth of Independent States earned a trip to represent the IWC region at ASE 2015 via the IWC All-Star Tournament.
