FPX's Doinb, also known as the extraordinary Doinb, is one of the most talented mid laners in League of Legends unlike many traditional mid laners in LPL. Dubbed as the extraordinary for his extensive champion pool and unique item builds that no traditional mid laner can replicate.

Doinb is a highly skilled mid laner, originally from Korea but has spent most of his career in the LPL. Doinb is quite famous for champions like Ryze, Viktor, Karma, and Vladimir. Additionally, he is known for his unique yet highly effective item builds. Recognized for his off-meta picks such as Kled, Aatrox, Renekton, Nautilus, and Poppy, with a high win rate, he was the MVP of the 2017 LPL spring split. Doinb began his professional career with QiaoGu Reapers, a team formed in 2015 with members V, Swift, TnT, and TcT. This was a period of first strides in his career. At QiaoGu Reapers, Doinb was particularly famous for his Katarina. In the same year, Doinb won the spring split of the LoL professional tournament (LSPL) and secured the runner-up position in the LPL. It can be said that this is a career with many ups and downs, but it is marked by effort, outstanding achievements, and indelible imprints on the hearts of fans. Every passing year for this player is a new team, which is why he has changed teams constantly in his 3-year playing career. Although the LPL summer 2023 has just started its group stage, Doinb has already shown his excellent form. This year, he continues with Funplus Phoenix to conquer the highest position of the League of Legends LPL.

In the LPL summer 2021, Doinb maintained an impressive record, becoming the outstanding player of the LPL summer 2023 in the third week. Once again, fans are amazed by Doinb's ability to use very unconventional champions in the mid lane in League of Legends.

IG Rookie is one of the outstanding mid laners of Invictus Gaming and the world as a whole that has ever produced. Often compared to Faker, but perhaps many do not know much about this guy's background.

Rookie is a League of Legends player, a nickname that many people often give him is the little Faker because Chinese fans named him since his debut because he has an extremely wide champion pool as well as amazing individual skills. He was voted to represent LPL at the 2015 All Stars, considered by many analysts and casters as a top 3 mid laner in the world in 2015 and the best player in the world in 2018. Known for his famous champions like Orianna and Yasuo. He speaks fluent Chinese and considers himself the most proficient Chinese speaker among Korean experts. Rookie is a Korean player and will compete under TES in the 2023 season of LPL. He is known to be close friends with TheShy and is one of the most famous players in China, especially when he was under the banner of Invictus Gaming. When talking about iG 2018, everyone must remember the duo TheShy – Rookie dominating from LPL to Worlds. However, recently, Rookie and his teammates have not achieved much success in the main season, even losing their spot to go international to clash with LCK. Recently, on his stream, Rookie also shared with his viewers about his 1-month vacation in Korea.

It was also a time when the 2018 world champion began to gym and pay more attention to his health. Thanks to that, he has also gained some muscles and started to show off to his viewers. Then, he continued to talk about health and give some advice on his stream channel.

ShowMaker is one of the talented mid laners that League of Legends Korea has produced. Currently, ShowMaker is playing for Damwon Gaming and has become one of the mainstays of this team. DK Showmaker is on the path to becoming the number 1 Mid lane in the world, expected to inherit the title of the immortal demon king from Faker.

In his career, ShowMaker has always made mid lane opponents uncomfortable such as: Rookie (IG), Jensen (TL), Not only that, he can solokill Faker (SKT T1) in his prime, one of the mid lane legends with the most World Cups. Showmaker started his professional career for DAMWON Gaming at the end of 2017, and KeSPA 2017 was the first tournament he participated in. A year after joining DWG, he helped the team climb to LCK, the highest level tournament of League of Legends in Korea. In the 2019 season, Showmaker became a shining star of LCK alongside Nuguri. The excellent performance of these two stars helped DWG finish the season in 4th place in LCK spring and were considered one of the LCK super rookies along with Sandbox Gaming. In the summer, DAMWON rose to 2nd place in the group stage and finished 3rd overall by losing to T1 in the Playoffs. However, in the final round of the 2019 LCK regional qualifier for Worlds, Showmaker and his teammates set a new record: Qualifying for Worlds in the first season of promoting to LCK. More importantly, Showmaker is the most complete version of himself. He has changed his playstyle to contribute more to the team, ready to perform lane swaps, support Canyon to secure important kills. This change has made DWG's playstyle even more complete, and Showmaker is considered the number 1 mid laner in LCK or even at Worlds 2020.

The championship of Worlds 2020 marks a miraculous step for DWG as well as Showmaker. However, this may still not be the end for this guy. Will Showmaker maintain his form to become a second Faker?

As one of the most outstanding mid laners in League of Legends, Xiaohu's performance has left an unforgettable impression on fans from the group stage to the finals. The 23-year-old player completely dominated his lane opponents throughout the match, with an average gold difference of 412 and a monster gold difference of 10.1 at 10 minutes over 25 games.

The last time Xiaohu lifted the MSI trophy was in 2018 when he was still a mid laner, alongside Uzi as the AD carry and Karsa roaming the jungle. At that time, RNG also had to defeat another LCK team to claim the championship. Unfortunately, since 2018, RNG has not been as dominant as before. They struggled to find success in the following two years, with a disappointing 2020 season. In recent seasons, Xiaohu has been the most stable player and the driving force leading the team to victory, even when transitioning to the top lane in the 2021 season, Xiaohu still shines and remains the cornerstone for RNG in both domestic and international tournaments.

Xiaohu is one of the prominent figures in the Chinese League of Legends community and a key member in all three unprecedented MSI championships of RNG. However, he has not received the deserved recognition for his contributions. Moreover, RNG also put Xiaohu on the trading table with the purpose of WBG withdrawing the lawsuit regarding transfer drama earlier this year.

Caps is a familiar face to the League of Legends community. The star player currently representing G2 Esports has won the LEC title 5 times and lifted the MSI trophy once. Although he has not yet ascended to the throne of Worlds, Caps is still considered the king of European LoL.

Contrary to his fierce gameplay on the competitive stage, Caps is a friendly, approachable, and gentle guy off the rift, always wearing a smile. That's why he's one of the most beloved players today. However, the latest image of Caps posted on G2 Esports' Instagram page has truly piqued fans' curiosity, specifically the worn-out Converse shoes he's wearing. To recruit Caps, the Western LoL's number one mid laner, alongside G2 Esports captain Perkz voluntarily stepping down to give him the mid-lane position, this team surely must have offered Caps the highest rewards. When talking about each other, all Western League of Legends players admit that their income is quite high compared to the average. G2 Caps is an outstanding mid laner for G2 Esports and the West in general. Fans call him 'Craps' when he plays poorly and 'Claps' when he performs exceptionally well. Caps joined DP to compete in TBF 2016 for the first time in Turkey when advancing to the finals against SUP with a 3-0 victory. With his performance in this tournament, Caps' talent in the mid lane was evident, leading the top LEC EU team, Fnatic, to want to recruit him. It was from here that he began to shine and participate in his first major tournaments at Worlds 2017. Caps started his professional gaming career and gradually built his reputation after joining Fnatic and G2 Esports. He became famous as the star player of G2 after helping the team win multiple LEC titles.

Nevertheless, one fact remains: Caps has shone brightly at this year's MSI with his talent and skill, with the tournament MVP title being the clearest evidence. The image of the worn-out shoes is perhaps just a morale booster, evidence of his simple lifestyle, or simply a meaningful item for Caps.

PawN, born on January 26, 1997, holds South Korean nationality and is currently a professional player in the game League of Legends (LoL) under the Edward Gaming team, China, in the mid-lane position. PawN also held the mid-lane position for the Samsung White team and brought home the championship at the Season 4 World Finals.

Prior to that, he played for Samsung Galaxy Blue, later swapping positions with Dade to play in the SSW lineup. Besides, before the Samsung era, he competed for MiG Blitz under the name Wonseok. PawN began his professional gaming career when Faker, who had become a legend, was already dominating the mid-lane. PawN's first team was MiG Blitz (led by Woong). In the early matches, PawN showed that he could indeed become a big star. At that time, PawN's Ezreal and Fizz were thorns in the side of many players on the Korean server. While Faker won the OGN Summer 2013, then raised the Summoner's Cup in Los Angeles, MiG Blitz disbanded, and PawN moved to Samsung Blue without any significant achievements. Despite being highly rated, compared to a soaring Faker, PawN struggled much more. When invited to KT Rolster with the primary goal of defeating Faker and the SKT team, what PawN received was more failure than victory. In 2018, he moved to play for KingZone DragonX, but here too, he did not have many opportunities to play competitively.

PawN is one of the most outstanding first-generation South Korean players. On December 14, Liiv SANDBOX announced that they had signed a contract with Heo PawN Won-seok. The mid-lane legend of the past will become a mid-lane coach at LSB.

Perkz is the outstanding mid laner of G2 Esports with extremely stable performance. He has proven his strength against opponents by seamlessly switching lanes when giving mid lane to Caps and going to the bottom lane. Perkz boasts an impressive list of titles with 5 LEC championships and 1 LCS title.

The mid-lane star of C9 has rich experience in competition, outstanding talent, and is highly rated in the upcoming League of Legends World Championship. Chinese fans often compare Perkz to GodV because both are talented mid laners, and their first appearances at Worlds did not go well. Therefore, Chinese fans often nickname him GodP. He reached 1000 kills in the EU LCS on September 8, 2019, becoming the third player to achieve 1000 Kills in the LEC after Rekkles and Jankos. PerkZ joined GSI Gaming midway through the season, playing alongside P1noy and Hiiva, among others. PerkZ also won the EpicGear Cup 16 and finished second in the EpicGear Cup 17 with the team before they disbanded later that year. At the beginning of the season, PerkZ's player profile became even richer when he joined Gamers2. He participated in the international championship 4 with the team and then in the spring EUCS qualifiers in the same lineup as beanu. With Millenium, PerkZ and the team finished second at the Gamers Assembly 2015, only behind Origen, although he stopped playing with the team before DreamHack Tours 2015 due to exams.

At the beginning of the following month, it was announced that PerkZ would rejoin Gamers2, who had retained their spot in the Challenger Series for the summer EUCS. In October, Gamers2 rebranded to G2 Esports. And since then, he has proven his capabilities no matter which lane he plays in, being a formidable opponent for all teams.

During the peak years of his career, Crown was once the greatest rival of the immortal Demon King Faker and the star of Samsung Galaxy, the team that won the 2017 World Championship by defeating SKT T1 3-0 in the finals. However, that was also the last gleam of glory for the 1995-born player.

At the beginning of his career, Crown was a Starcraft player, recruited by STX Soul in March 2011. Compared to his League of Legends career, Crown was not famous and did not have high achievements in the Starcraft discipline. Upon leaving STX Soul, Crown became a Starcraft streamer for a while but was banned from streaming after playing an 18+ Starcraft map during his stream. This incident prompted him to switch to playing League of Legends. He then joined Samsung Galaxy in 2015 and was picked by Edgar, the team's head coach at the time, who was also a former Starcraft player chosen to play mid lane. Before joining SSG, Crown followed the trend of Korean imports and played for Team 58ers alongside KaBum. At his peak, Crown was known as one of the best mid laners in the world at the time. The 2017 World Championship title, coupled with the nickname of Faker's nemesis, probably placed Crown among the great players of the LCK. Looking back at the 2017 World Championship, it's hard to forget the brilliance of SSG's mid laner, especially Crown's Viktor, which became a trademark with his exceptional solo kills. Even Faker fell victim to Crown at this World Championship, hence many fans dubbed Crown as Faker's nemesis to honor his talent.

Despite Crown's acknowledged talent, he was also known as a player with low mental resilience. This is also why Crown performed poorly at the 2018 World Championship. After trying his hand at the Championship Korea, Crown decided to retire and become a streamer. Recently, he has shared surprising insights into his difficult life after retiring from professional play.

Scout is the League of Legends player who clinched the MVP title at Worlds 2021 after his outstanding performance in the 3-2 victory against DWG KIA in the World Championship finals. The finals series went through five games with surprising twists as the two teams continuously traded blows, extending to the fifth game.

In the finals, Scout played four different champions and totaled 17 kills, 12 deaths, and 25 assists. Despite facing Showmaker, the best mid laner in the LCK region, Scout maintained his form. His performance left many in awe of the EDG mid laner's incredible skills. Few remember that Scout was once a trainee at SKT T1 (now T1) in the years 2015-2016. At that time, Faker was at the pinnacle of the League of Legends world, so Scout, as a trainee, had to sit on the bench for two seasons. At the end of 2016, Scout left to seek new opportunities, and his destination was EDward Gaming. With six years with EDG in the LPL region, Scout achieved remarkable accomplishments such as winning the LPL Spring and Summer Split championships, as well as the MSI title. And the final sweet victory to complete his achievements was the World Championship title, also won by EDG. Coming into Worlds 2021, Scout once said that Faker is the role model he looks up to, as well as the opponent he most desires to confront. In Scout's eyes, Faker is not only a senior but also a friend, an opponent he most wants to overcome. Scout's diligence and hard work are aimed at one day directly defeating Faker.

It has been six years since his days as a trainee at SKT, yet Scout still holds the same admiration and respect for his senior. Even in the finals, Scout aimed to seek revenge for Faker after their defeat against DK in the semifinals.
