Gwak "Bdd" Bo-seong
From his ability to absolutely dominate in lane to flawless teamfighting, Bdd
is a mid laner who is highly regarded by his mid lane peers. However, Bdd’s
true value as a mid laner came from his ability to step up his game when
stakes were high. 3-0’ing T1 at the LCK Spring semifinals and pushing EDG to
game 5 at Worlds semifinals can largely be credited to Bdd’s performance,
and he did it in a dominating fashion. For Bdd, 2021 was a year of tremendous
growth, while reminding every one of his competitors why his name is to be
feared in the process.
对线统治，无瑕团战，BDD也收到了中路同行的高度评价，然而BDD作为中路的真正价值是在高强度比赛时加速游戏进程的能力，LCK春季赛3:0 T1以及四强赛把EDG逼上第五场很大一部份要归功于BDD，而且以一种具有统治力的方式达成，2021对BDD来说是巨幅成长的一年，也提醒了他的对手为何他的名字令人恐惧。

Jeong "Chovy" Ji-hoon
One trait that LCK mid laners all have in common is that they’re more
proficient at min/maxing their resources and that all stems from having
strong fundamentals in the game: the player’s laning phase. Chovy is a mid
laner who’s able to utilize his deep knowledge of the game and execute it
flawlessly, without missing a single detail. With his ability to CS better
than his opponents even in disadvantageous matchups to his ability to create
‘montages’ with every play he makes, there’s no doubt that he’s one of
the greats.
LCK中路的共通点是他们擅长最大化利用自己的资源，而这一切都源自于他们强大的基本功:在对线期时，Chovy能用自己对游戏的理解完美执行比赛，连一点细节都不会遗漏，即便是劣势对线他的CS也不会输给对手，而且每场比赛都能带来精采操作，绝对能够被称得上是一位伟大的选手。

Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok
As the greatest League of Legends player in history, Faker was a leader among
his rookie teammates this year. Although Faker did not seem as untouchable as
he was during his days as the Unkillable Demon King, it was undeniable that
he was performing the best he ever has in years. His leadership can be
largely credited to T1’s success this year, as they finished 2nd place at
the LCK Summer finals and top four at Worlds, falling to DWG KIA in both
series.
身为LOL史上最伟大的选手，Faker今年仍是这群新人队友的领导，虽然Faker看起来再也不像当年不可一世的不死魔王，但不可否认的是他的表现是这几年来最好的，他的领导力也带领今年的T1迈向成功，最后止步于LCK夏季赛亚军及世界赛四强，两轮系列赛皆负于DWG KIA。

Lee "Scout" Ye-chan
2021 was a happy ending to Scout’s Cinderella story, as EDG managed to take
the upset victory over DWG KIA 3-2. As a mid laner who started out as a sub
for Faker in 2015, he’s been a part of EDG since 2016, and despite making
appearances at Worlds in previous years, EDG have been in a slump for a very
long time.
This year was obviously very different, as the right pieces of the puzzle
seemed to have gathered to take it all. They put themselves back on the map
with their performance in the Spring, took back the throne in the LPL when
they beat FunPlus Phoenix 3-1 in the Summer finals, and successfully
completed a grueling tournament run against the best of the best to win it
all.
2021年是Scout灰姑娘故事的完美结局，因为EDG最后3-2击败了DWG KIA，2015年作为Faker的替补出道，从2016年就加入了EDG，尽管过去几年EDG就进入了世界赛，但EDG已经沉沦许久。
今年很明显的不同了，因为拼图看起来已经正确的拼在一起了，他们在春季赛的优秀表现让自己回到大众视野中，夏季赛3-1击败FPX更是夺回了自己的王冠，并且在与最强者的对决中艰难赢下，拿下了冠军。

Heo "ShowMaker" Su
ShowMaker’s 2021 season was full of ups and downs. He did become the 2021
LCK Spring champion, but after DWG KIA's devastating loss to Royal Never Give
Up at the MSI 2021 finals, he and the team fell into a slump. It was only
after when analyst coach Yang “Daeny” Dae-in rejoined the team in the
Summer split, that the team looked untouchable again.
However, even when DWG KIA had their weird phase of experimenting with
role-swapping, the best performing player by far was ShowMaker. The fact that
he's performed so well two years in a row is an impressive feat to boot, but
he was literally one game away from making DWG KIA the second team to win
back-to-back Worlds. There’s no doubt ShowMaker will go down in LoL esports
history as one of the best to ever grace the mid lane.
ShowMaker的2021赛季跌宕起伏，他拿下了2021LCK春季赛冠军，但随后DWG KIA在2021 MSI惨败于RNG，他和队伍都陷入了低潮，直到Daeny在夏季赛重新加入，队伍看起来又不可动摇了。
然而，即便历经DWG KIA 轮换选手的奇怪时期时，表现最好的选手依然是ShowMaker，连续两年的优秀表现令人印象深刻，然而他距离让DWG KIA成为史上第二支连霸队伍却差了一场比赛，但毫无疑问的ShowMaker可以成为LOL史上最强中路之一。
荣誉提名:Kim "Doinb" Tae-sang
Throughout most of the 2021 season, the 2019 world champions FunPlus Phoenix
put on a strong performance. After failing to qualify for Worlds in 2020, they
’ve acquired top laner Jang “Nuguri” Ha-gwon and seemed to have
reinvigorated themselves for 2021. Finishing 2nd place in both Spring and
Summer, many experts have predicted FPX as one of the tournament favorites.
However, to everyone’s shock, FPX finished their group stage run with a 2-4
record, and was eliminated as the last place team in their group. Although
Doinb stumbled in the end, his performance throughout the Spring and Summer
split deserves recognition.
2021赛季时，2019年的冠军FPX都表现得很强，在失去2020世界赛资格后，他们招募了上路Nuguri让他们看起来2021又重新振作了起来，在春夏季赛皆以亚军作收后，许多专家都认为FPX是夺冠热门。
然而，惊呆13亿人的是，FPX最后以小组赛2-4的成绩结束，以小组最后一名之姿惨遭淘汰，虽然Doinb最终跌跌撞撞，但他春夏季赛的表现仍值得肯定。
好像有人在偷臭Doinb耶
