With Duke’s exit from the team, TheShy is going to be the team’s only top laner. The top laner, often regarded as one of the best in the world, will be playing tanks for the team if they ever choose to play with a utility top. Known as an explosive top laner, a successful year playing both utility and carry picks will be a testament to his strength. But in the current meta, his usual carry picks will suit him just fine

Having all but completely replaced Ning, Leyan seems to be IG’s main jungler moving forward. Slowly but surely building up better synergy with his team, Leyan has proven himself to be a much more reliable jungler then Ning. Being on-point with his abilities, as well as being able to pick up new heroes almost immediately, he has earned his spot on the starting roster.
