After the end of the first three weeks of the regular season at the 2022 LCK Spring Season, the T1 and Gen.G teams are in the top two in the standings. DK is 3 wins and 3 losses, and is in third place in the standings.
Although not as many wins as T1 and Gen.G, DK's wild player Canyon is ranked first in the POG list with 600 points. Canyon's active performance in the team can be demonstrated. Arguably, 6 of the 9 minor games that team DK won were carried by Canyon.
This year's Canyon's state has not been overshadowed by the version and the hero, and if it took a while to adapt to the version change before, now there is no need to adapt to the time. Probably because he can reach the peak in each version, whether it is a gank type or a development type wild game, he is very good at it.
Heroes like Zhao Xin and The Prince who need to exert their strength in the early gank, or heroes like Gwen and Foyego who need time to develop can be selected. These heroes have weaknesses in different situations, but when canyon players use them, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, and the previous concerns disappear. In addition to being good at heroes like Diana and Zhao Xin, who need to start the group first, heroes like Gwen also play more output than expected. The prince, a hero with insufficient output in the later stage, can also create a perfect team battle terrain, so that teammates can easily output.
This was evident in the T1 match against the winning streak. Canyon, who chose the crown prince, made people shine by discovering the blind spots of the T1 players' vision, and opened the group cleanly and cleanly, although he lost in the decider, Gwen's performance was remarkable.
So Canyon didn't miss pog because of his performance, and even if he lost the game, it was clear from the POG points that Canyon's personal glow could not be hidden. It seems that his being mentioned as the first person to play in the Asian Games is not empty talk.
The POS players behind Canyon are also playing wild positions. NS's Dwread showed great strength as the protagonist at the beginning of the game, and Dwread's ability can be seen from many data indicators. The 279 average damage per game was the highest in the LCK field, with a 15-minute economy deficit of 322. Comparing peanut's 176, which ranks second in this indicator, it can also be seen that Dwread's strength in the early stage of the game is overwhelming, and it can be said that he is a player who suppresses opponents through attack and has excellent ability. However, if the rhythm is not well brought up through the attack, there will be a situation where they will be killed because they play too aggressively, which will eventually lead to the widening of the gap.
Tied for third place are Gumayusi, Doran, Rascal.
When Gumayusi said that the current version was centered on the following road- playing wild, he played the performance that should be made as an adc, and played with the popular developmental adc to carry the game, and earned 400 points.
The POG competition between the orders is also interesting, the Gen.G team Doran has been doing well and has earned more POG points, but when he met KT's Rascal, after losing the game, he was forced to score the same points in the POG standings. Rascal set a staggering record of 14 single kills in 14 innings, with the exception of HLE's DuDu, a single kill for all the teams, and Doran, who was in good shape before, also became Rascal's background board. Rascal showed an unprecedented single performance through blind monks in the early stages of the 2022LCK season.
In the fiercely competitive points battle between the wild and the single, the singles who have dominated the POG list for a long time are chasing behind. Gen.G's Chovy and T1's Faker, DRX's Zeka both got 300 POG points. Through the KT auxiliary Life, who was revived by Serti, on-Fleek, who showed his oppressive power with Zhao Xin in the opening battle, also received 300 POG points.
