All that’s left for the Spring Split of the League Championship Series is the playoffs. Let’s analyze the top performers in fantasy League based on a season’s worth of data.
We’ll be looking at the top player in each position from both Europe and North America. We’ll rank players using the basics of Skrilla scoring: 3 points per kill, 2 points per assist, 0.01 points per creep, and -1 point per death. We’ll also cut out players who didn’t play the majority of games in the split and include the tie breakers from last weekend.

North America
1. Adrian Ma, Echo Fox, 27.98 PPG
2. Andy “Smoothie” Ta, Cloud9, 23.54 PPG
Europe
1. Kim “Wadid” Bae In, G2 Esports, 24.67 PPG
2. Zdravets “Hylissang” Iliev Galabov, Fnatic, 24.05 PPG
Support players, Adrian and Hylissang, played crucial roles in their teams’ success. They consistently performed well in fantasy.
If Echo Fox’s clean sweep of the top spots in North America didn’t clue you in, a player’s team as a whole is often more important than the player themselves in fantasy League of Legends. It’s important to pay attention to each team’s trends once they start to develop.
In the end, good players like Bjergsen and Rekkles will always perform well regardless of their teams.
