One with perhaps more uncertainty about who the supreme forces around the world truly were than ever before. After South Korea were finally dethroned in 2018, China looked set to take their place \u2013 but then it was Europe\u2019s G2 Esports who claimed the MSI title. Until they were denied at the final hurdle by FunPlus Phoenix, the European titans looked set to complete the grand slam \u2013 both domestic titles, MSI, and Worlds in the same season \u2013 for the first time ever. Meanwhile, Team Liquid looked like NA\u2019s most credible international side to date, and the looming threat of both veterans and young blood from South Korea remained throughout the season. Amid so much uncertainty, narrowing down a player of the year remains incredibly tricky, with plenty of candidates making a compelling case. Ultimately, though, the following four players deserve to make the shortlist. Check them out and cast your vote! Luka \u2018Perkz\u2019 Perkovi\u0107 Perkz initiated perhaps the most shocking roster move of the pre-2019 offseason when he role swapped to make space for Caps in G2\u2019s mid lane, but the change has proved to be more successful than anyone could have imagined. By the end of the year, Perkz was more than holding his own on the international stage, both innovating in the role with unconventional picks from his time as a mid laner, and playing traditional marksmen at an elite level. He was even hailed by many as the best Xayah player in the world. WELCOME TO THE 2019 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP FINALS, @G2esports! A @G2Perkz quadrakill caps off a back and forth game four victory! See you in Paris! #Worlds2019 pic.twitter.com\/G98399hegS \u2014 lolesports (@lolesports) November 3, 2019 Gao \u2018Tian\u2019 Tian-Liang FPX proved a worthy successor to Invictus Gaming, dominating the domestic seasons of LPL and even going one step further than the iG team of 2018 by winning the LPL Summer title ahead of their Worlds victory. While Invictus were a team led by dominant laners, FPX leaned heavily on their more supportive elements, and perhaps none more so than jungler Tian, who ultimately claimed the MVP award at Worlds. \u201cOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!\u201d \u2013@PapaSmithy Take a closer look at how Tian denied the TP and picked up a Double Kill on Lee Sin in the #Worlds2019 Final against G2! pic.twitter.com\/44AwYJ9BdL \u2014 lolesports (@lolesports) November 12, 2019 Kim \u2018Doinb\u2019 Tae-sang While Tian was the MVP at Worlds, it\u2019s impossible to ignore the presence of Doinb on FPX, whose unorthodox style of mid lane play and reputation as a shotcaller have been credited as major factors in FPX\u2019s success. While he may not be a mechanical god, some would argue that the presence of Doinb is fundamental to a team who are now World Champions. ? SUPER ? CARRY ? @Doinbmid ? The @FPX_Esports mid laner gets the triple kill in a massive team fight near the Baron! #Worlds2019 pic.twitter.com\/VhRZVUqeD0 \u2014 lolesports (@lolesports) November 2, 2019 Kang \u2018TheShy\u2019 Seung-lok After making an explosive statement at the 2018 World Championship, TheShy\u2019s 2019 certainly didn\u2019t end on such a high note. Nevertheless, he remains arguably the best player in his role with a peak that few in any position can match, and while consistency wasn\u2019t always a hallmark of his season, when Invictus Gaming were at their most dangerous it was usually TheShy at the tip of the spear.
