Let’s take a look at five of the top plays from professional League games in 2021.
5) CoreJJ’s Impactful Engage with Rell
Blink and you might have missed the best support play of the year. In the LCS Championship, CoreJJ pulled off a four-man knock-up against 100 Thieves, showcasing why he’s considered the best support player in North America. Despite being the lowest-level player in the game at that moment, CoreJJ fearlessly engaged and knocked up four of 100 Thieves’ players, leading to a Team Liquid victory.
4) Fudge’s Remarkable Lee Sin Kick at MSI
Fudge, a rising star in the LCS, made a name for himself at the Mid-Season Invitational. In a game against Royal Never Give Up, Fudge played Lee Sin for only the second time professionally and dominated RNG. In the final moments, Fudge executed a perfect “InSec” play, kicking RNG’s AD carry Gala into Cloud9 and turning the tide of the game in their favor.
3) Chovy’s Incredible Akali Pentakill
Chovy proved himself as one of the strongest individual talents in 2021 with his Akali pentakill during the LCK Summer Split. Despite his teammates losing a fight and KT Rolster on the offensive, Chovy found the perfect moment to dash into a one-vs-five scenario. With lightning-fast reflexes, Chovy swiftly eliminated KT’s players, securing his first professional pentakill.
2) Danny’s LCS Rookie of the Year Performance
Danny, the LCS Rookie of the Year, delivered a miracle play for Evil Geniuses in the LCS Summer Playoffs. With his team on the brink of elimination, Danny single-handedly wiped out 100 Thieves in a teamfight. Despite facing a one-vs-two battle and being on the wrong side of the map, Danny showcased immense skill and led his team to an unlikely victory.
