The third stage of the LPL regular season has fully wrapped up. On the eve of the playoffs, the official best lineup for the third stage regular season was finally revealed. Let’s check out the voting results!

The first team consists of top laner Theshy, jungler Kanavi, mid laner Knight, and bottom lane players JKL and Hang. TES finished first in the third stage regular season, so three of their players made the first team. IG and BLG placed second and third respectively, each contributing one player to the first team.

The second team features top laner 369, jungler Tarzan, mid laner Rookie, and bottom lane duo Gala and Meiko. IG has three players on the second team, TES has one, and AL, who finished fourth in the regular season, also has one player on the second team.

The third team includes top laner Saint, jungler Wei, mid laner Creme, and bottom lane duo ELK and ON. BLG dominates the third team with two players, while TES, IG, and AL each have one representative. Overall, TES and IG, the top two teams, have all their players selected across the best lineups, while BLG’s top and jungle players missed out, and AL only has their top and jungle players included.

The MVP of the third stage regular season was awarded to TES’s JKL. This choice is hardly controversial, as TES performed excellently in the regular season, and JKL’s bottom lane contributions were crucial. Hopefully, JKL can maintain this level of performance throughout the playoffs and the World Championship.

In the comments, the most debated topic concerns the selection of two IG players. Many believe Rookie deserved a spot on the first team because he played a key role in several matches. They argue that the evaluation shouldn’t be based solely on KDA but also on a player’s impact on their team’s victories. Some feel that Wei’s placement on the third team is unfair. However, others acknowledge that Tarzan also performed well, and according to the voting results, Tarzan was only one point ahead of Wei, so the difference is minimal.

There is little controversy about other positions. For example, Theshy as the first-team top laner is almost universally agreed upon. Although Theshy made some significant mistakes in certain matches, his highlight plays are more memorable. His ability to turn games around, even when his team is at a disadvantage early on, is something few players can match.

As for BLG’s top laner Bin, his omission was somewhat expected. There was little chance for him to make the first team. The second and third teams’ top laners, 369 and Saint, may not have flashy performances like Theshy, but their play was consistently solid, serving as the backbone of their teams. Bin didn’t have any standout moments and his stats were not impressive. Moreover, BLG’s reputation this stage wasn’t great. Bin will have to rely on his playoff performance to change public opinion and gain recognition. Hopefully, he can perform well in the postseason!
