Chinese League of Legends teams had a tough run in the recent IEM Worlds tournament in Katowice, with both WE and iG getting knocked out during the group stages. But in their response to the IEM failure, many Chinese LPL fans noted that WE and iG aren’t China’s strongest teams right now. Most commenters felt that China’s best team at the moment is OMG.

That’s a theory that is borne out by the data. Don’t believe me? Check out this chart of the top ten players in the LPL right now. OMG has four out of its five players on the list (and also holds the top three spots).
No other team has more than two players in the top ten, but it’s worth noting that LGD’s botlane is also a force to be reckoned with, with Styz and Pyl both making the list. It’s also worth noting that Pyl is the only support in the LPL to make the top ten.
