Who is currently the best League of Legends player in the world?In the landscape of a global game like League, this question has a lot of different answers depending on whom you ask. Someone who primarily watches North American play will answer one way, and someone who primarily watches Taiwan will say another. The important thing is opening up the discussion. To that end, here are my top 10 players in the world.Let the debate begin.1. Lee Faker Sang-hyeok (SK Telecom T1)Im not betting against the undeniable greatest of all time until he loses in a best-of-five. Ever since EDward Gaming planned out the perfect anti-LeBlanc strategy to beat Faker at the 2015 Mid-Season Invitational, he hasnt been eliminated from a major tournament. He led SK Telecom T1 through a dominating 15-1 run at the 2015 World Championship. He rampaged through the Intel Extreme Masters World Championships in Poland. He defeated the Tigers in a final for a third straight time and took his fifth domestic title.And when people started doubting him for the second straight MSI, what did he do? He came alive in the bracket stage, ran over the top-seeded and home crowd favorites Royal Never Give Up 3-1, and then systematically extinguished the American dream in the finals by sweeping Counter Logic Gaming.Is Faker or SKT T1 having the best season right now? No. Does that mean Im going to let myself look like an idiot by not ranking him first when in a few weeks time hell probably win his sixth South Korean title and soar off to the United States where Ill be covering Worlds? Heck no.To be the man, youve got to beat the man. The reigning and defending IEM, MSI, and Summoners Cup champion is the man of League of Legends.2. Song Smeb Kyung-ho (ROX Tigers)For me, Smeb is the player closest to unseating Faker as the worlds best. He has won regular-season MVP in back-to-back seasons in the leagues toughest region, something no one other than Faker has been able to do in the history of League Champions Korea. Smeb is the best top laner in the world, and he proved that at last years Worlds where he was the ace carry of the Tigers team that made it up all the way to the finals ... before losing to Faker and SK Telecom T1.In the spring split of this year, the ROX Tigers had an outstanding season and were rewarded with the regular-season title. Smeb was MVP, the Tigers were primed to win the playoffs, and then Faker showed up on his Cassiopeia, turned around Game 4 of the LCK finals, and Smeb was left as the bridesmaid for the third time against Faker.Whenever Smeb has been inches, even less than an inch, away from being my choice as the worlds best, he has been bested in a final against Faker. It happened at Worlds where Fakers Ryze shut the door on the Tigers, and it was the same story in the spring when Smeb couldnt outdo Faker or the rest of SKT T1.Faker has always been destined for greatness. The mysterious amateur-prodigy-turned-worldwide-superstars moniker resonates with everyone, even casual players. Smeb, on the other hand, worked his way up from the dirt of being called the worst player in South Korea during his rookie seasons and has won two straight MVP awards in the same league.In a world where Faker is nothing but a fairy tale to scare children, Smeb is a multi-time domestic champion, Worlds MVP, and Summoners Cup winner. Unfortunately, the Unkillable Demon King is real, and Smeb will need to win a major championship, most likely against Faker, to complete his underdogs journey to the heavens.3. Ming ClearLove Kai (EDward Gaming)With the inclusion of ClearLove, any of my top three could arguably be the worlds best, and I would not contest those arguments. Clearlove is the timeless wonder of League of Legends. If Riot ever decides to open up a Hall of Fame, Clearlove should be a first-ballot inductee.Its crazy to think Clearlove was a part of the World Elite Chinese dynasty that won IPL5 over Fnatic and was the undisputed best team in the world. All of his then-teammates have retired from professional play, but Clearlove trudges on, as the true pride of the Chinese scene and the heart of the EDward Gaming empire he helped create after departing from WE.While there are many elite junglers in the world, a lot of them newer and flashier than Clearlove, he is a player that can be depended on to produce results. He was a key member in the EDG team that was able to thwart SKT T1s world domination last MSI in Florida; however, the team failed to get further than the quarters at the World Championships the same year.While winning the Summoners Cup isnt the be-all and end-all when it comes to a players worth -- Im not going to rank 2011 winner Bram wewillfailer de Winter over Clearlove -- its a factor when Worlds is fast approaching. Out of the top three players in the world, one has won the trophy twice with two drastically different teams, and the other two have failed to lift even one.4. Kim Deft Hyuk-kyu (EDward Gaming)Deft is our second League Pro League player in a row, and also the second from EDG. Deft, another top player without a Summoners Cup, might be the one who wants to win it most desperately. At 2014 Worlds, he failed on top Korean seed Samsung Blue when sister team Samsung White embarrassed them in the semifinals before eventually winning it all. After getting knocked out in the quarterfinals at last years Worlds with EDG, Deft broke down crying, saying he wanted to return home to South Korea for the sole purpose of winning the Summoners Cup.Eventually, he decided to stay with EDG, and his obsession with winning the Summoners Cup might come to fruition this year with a powerful EDG lineup that has an undefeated record in the Chinese region this past season.5. Bae Bang Jun-sik (SK Telecom T1)Along with Deft, I really couldnt decide whom to slot as the current best AD in the world. Bang, the de facto ace of T1 during times where Faker only plays Karma mid for months on end, has been debatably T1s best player this year; he has established himself as more than just the utility AD who gets starved out due to the top and mid roles getting all the resources.Jang MaRin Gyeong-Hwans departure to China freed up Bang in the bottom lane to become more of a leading man in SKT T1s starting five, and the swift-footed AD carry has a domestic title, IEM world championship, and MSI crown to show for his upgraded role.6. Han Peanut Wang-ho (ROX Tigers)The only reason why I dont have Peanut at the fourth spot is because everyone above him has had a longer tenure at this echelon in comparison. Last year on NaJin e-mFire, Peanut was misused and benched for a large part of his rookie season instead of getting the time needed to work out the small kinks in his game. On ROX, he has found his soulmate in Smeb when it comes to playing together, and the young jungler has transformed into a well-rounded player a year after NaJin wasted its chance. Smeb and the Tigers have believed in Peanut from the very beginning and have worked through his rough patches to get to where they are now.If Peanut and Smeb can stay together -- Im looking at you, China, with your billionaire sons and North America with your former NBA players -- its likely the two could become the greatest one-two punch in the games history. The two are on the same wavelength when it comes to playing the game, and Peanuts emergence has taken Smeb from the top 10 to, in my opinion, second-best right behind Faker.7. Cho Mata Se-hyeong (Royal Never Give Up)The Maestro himself, Mata sits on my ranking as the best support in the world at the moment. For me, while ROXs Kang GorillA Beom-hyeon could certainly be in this position as well, Matas ability to actually win a major tournament and lead a team to gold rates him slightly higher than the ROX Tigers support.GorillA is as solid and been more or less as good as he was at the end of last year when he was in the debate for the worlds best, but ROX this split has been carried by the dynamic duo of Smeb and Peanut. When it comes to Royal Never Give Up, Mata is the man that stirs the pot and is looked upon by his teammates as some sort of demi-god that was purchased by mone-- I mean, bestowed by divine intervention.Although Mata fell to Faker at MSI (hey, so has everyone on this list not named Bang), he still has a chance to tie the SKT T1 ace in Summoners Cup wins if he can lead RNG to a championship this year. If he can, Mata would become the first player in history to not only win the Summoners Cup on two different teams, but be the first to win it in two different regions as well.8. Kim Ssumday Chan-ho (KT Rolster)Its hard to argue Smeb isnt the current best top laner in the world, but Ssumday will try to change peoples minds in the LCK playoffs and possibly at Worlds. Last year, when Ssumday and Smeb were battling for that honor, it was Smeb who outclassed Ssumday in the quarterfinals of the World Championship to eliminate KT Rolster from the tournament. This current summer split, it was another clash between the two dynamic top lane carries, and it was once again Smeb who came out the victor, winning the leagues MVP title by a hair over Ssumday.KT Rolster sits in the semifinals of the LCK summer playoffs after slaughtering Samsung Galaxy, and Ssumday will need to overcome Fakers SK Telecom T1 on Friday to make it to the finals where the Tigers and Smeb currently sit for another swing at the best-top-laner-in-the-world title.9. Kang GorillA Beom-hyeon (ROX Tigers)The third Tiger on the list should give you an indication on how talented the team is. Although Smeb and Peanut are the outstanding carry duo of the team this split, GorillA continues to be the consistent backbone of the team.GorillA will be participating in his fourth LCK championship this coming season, and hes also qualified for the last three World Championships with ROX the past two years and NaJin White Shield before that. The only thing separating Gorilla for being on the same tier as Mata is his absence of a championship, which is similar to Smeb with Faker. GorillA lost to Samsung Blue in his first LCK final and has dropped three straight major finals to SK Telecom T1 in the past two years.It feels like now or never for the Tigers. Three world-class players and a possibly wounded SKT should result in gold in the LCK summer postseason or the World Championship for the perennial runner-ups.10. S?ren Bjergsen Bjerg (Team SoloMid)Here we go, readers: the most divisive part of this ranking. I almost made this list only nine players because of the logjam of players at the 10th spot. I first had Song RooKie Eui-jin here, then switched him out for Taiwans electric Huang Maple Yi-Tang, and I even considered putting one of G2 or Immortals players at this spot. But when I really thought about it, I decided to go with Bjergsen.Hes the best player in the history of the North American League Championship Series. He is a two-time MVP of the league and could become a three-time winner in the coming month. Hes consistent, hes an excellent all-around player, and if I had to choose a single Western player to build a team around, I would choose Bjergsen. Hes similar to Song RooKie Eui-jin in that he has been individually impressive but hasnt broken through with a big performance on the Worlds stage. The difference between Rookie and Bjergsen, however, is that Bjergsen will most likely get a chance at changing that this year with the best TSM lineup ever assembled around him, while Rookie is marooned on a capsized vessel.Bjergsen has the necessary tools to move up this list. Well see if he can as the summer transitions into the russet leaves of autumn.

McIlroy, who is enjoying his debut at the iconic Riviera Country Club, was forced to scramble hard during his four-under 67 which kept him in the hunt among a congested leaderboard packed with star names.Watson leads the way on 12 under, while the likes of Mcilroy, Dustin Johnson, Adam Scott and last weeks winner Hideki Matsuyama are all in the chasing pack heading into the final round. Quality courses produce a quality leaderboard, and you just have to look at the names up there, said world No 3 McIlroy, who made five birdies and dropped only one shot following a careless approach to the third.Bubba, Dustin, myself, Adam, all very, very good players. Its going to be a bit of a shoot-out tomorrow, and Im happy that I stayed at 10-under and didnt drop to nine.Its one of these golf courses, if you just stay around, hang in there and not make too many mistakes, stay patient, your time will come and it will present itself with a few opportunities. And thankfully on the back nine, I was able to take some of them.Asked about his game plan for Sunday, McIlroy insisted he would focus on his own form rather than be distracted by how his fellow conttenders are performing.dddddddddddd.I dont think you can look too much at what the other guys are doing, he added. Youve just got to go out and set yourself a number. If you go out and achieve that, and its not quite enough, then someones just played better than you that day. Rory McIlroy admitted he needs to be more accurate off the tee I need to hit more fairways. I didnt hit my first fairway until the eighth hole today. Even though the rough isnt that long, being in that kikuyu grass takes so much control out of your hands. Even though the greens are soft, its still very tricky to judge.I feel like my iron game is sharp, my short game has been pretty good and my putting was nice today. I holed out well, and I have to continue to do that.Dont miss the final round at Riviera. Live coverage starts Sunday at 6pm on Sky Sports 4 - your home of golf.
