First Team

Ke Fei “Jungle” Yang

Jungle is an obvious selection having captured the MVP for the tournament. It was natural for his name to be included in my list of top players. His statistical performance was easily the second best with even some top level categories including overall frags, 262, ARF (Average Rounds with a Frag) 0.566 and 2F (Two Frag Rounds), 49. He also tied for first in +/-, +76, and Aces (Five Frag Rounds), two. The key was his consistent play on the best team in the tournament by far. He held down the middle on most of the strategies for wNv, playing the star position perfectly. Also, he gave his team a huge boost when they needed one, while also allowing his teammates to feed off of his playing, and giving huge performances of their own. Great players make their teammates great and Yang filled that role for wNv.

Danny “fRoD” Montaner

If any player was more critical to his team's success to a fault it was Montaner for Complexity. It might have cost them the championship too as he had an off day and his team wasn't able to make up for it. Still, even with an off day on grand finals he still posted the best statistics of any player at the event leading in many major categories. His 0.881 FPR (Frags Per Round) led all players and had the highest 3F (Three Frag Rounds), 22. His 155 frags on the defensive side leading all players showed why his team posted an amazing 60% winning percentage when playing defense. His AWP the entire tournament was unmatched going head to head with Jungle, hpx, solo, ryu and the best from every team winning more often then not. He's one of the best players in the world right now.

GeunChul "solo" Kang

A lot of people who watched WEG Season 3 said this kid is amazing but I think its fair to say he finally put himself on the map with this tournament. His stellar play was the only reason Hacker.PK won nearly as many matches as they did. He led his team in scoring for seven of the ten matches they played, staggering. Statistically, he fell short of Jungle and fRoD in most categories but the most important stat to some people is DAR (Damage Average per Round) and Kang dominated it with a 92.4 leading all players by a decent margin. On top of that he also had the most 4F (Four Frag Rounds) with nine. One further category that doesn't get much following that he led in was DM (Domination) with a 0.368. The category tracks effectiveness per round giving bonus to players who frag a lot of people in one round, and Kang proved this was his most effective skill. His ability to take out a large portion of a team on flanking movements or rushes really decimated his enemy posting the highest offensive frag numbers with 155 frags. As a result, Hacker.PK planted the bomb 100 times during the tournament, nearly double as many as the next closest team. Kang is a direct result of his team’s success, giving them that extra $800 for plants on many occasions.

Alexey "HEL1" Novikov

If one player deserved a better fate it was Novikov. His team simply didn't play up to his level, but not many in the entire tournament did. While Virtus.Pro was eliminated early, Novikov still posted numbers that were very respectable, finishing fourth in FPR with a 0.821, and third in ARF with a 0.532. His performance in the third map against Hacker.PK was legendary, putting up 33 frags in the map and completely taking over a game that ended up with a close 16-13 victory for the Russian team. That map alone might have been enough to put him on the list, but he played brilliantly all tournament. He was the only player to post more than 30 frags in a match twice, and posted the two highest frag totals of the tournament for a single map; 35 and 33. Other players were more consistent, but he flat out was the best player in the tournament during certain maps. Without his play, Virtus.Pro might have been the joke of the tournament. A wise purchase by the Russians, so let's hope they can get some better play from a supporting cast in the future.

Jiang “Mikk” Pu

Mikk is the second wNv player to make the list. I think it’s important to state the reason. His championship match play was on another level, but he consistently was the second best player on wNv all tournament. Without his play, teams would simply have run strategies that went away from Jungle all tournament. Like a wide receiver in American football, sometimes you need a guy on the other side of the offensive or defense to counter balance a star player. His statistics were solid too. A 0.811 was fifth best in the tournament and a full 0.05 above the next closest person. He was second in 4F with 8 and tied for third in 3F with 15. His +70 +/- was also good for third in the tournament. The crown jewel was his 27-frag performance in a 16-1 crushing of Complexity to clinch the title. That put him a step above all the other players on wNv and in the entire tournament.
