A niche pick for pros, but a definite pick for the masses, Ahri remains one of the most loved champs in League of Legends.

Ahri is a hugely popular champion with the playerbase who play League of Legends, however, only some professional players have her as a staple pick. While some say she works well up to grandmaster levels, but doesn’t perform well thereafter. Others think that because no one picks her at such high levels, her win-rate drops. We aren’t sure of the whole situation, but what we do know: Here are five professional players that pick Ahri and play her well.

5. Ryu

Yoo Sang-wook, known as Ryu, has an unusual history with League of Legends. He was a well established player, having been tied to teams such as KT Rolster Bullets and Phoenix1 before landing at 100 Thieves. Here he played mid before retiring briefly to become the coach. However, after a short break, he came back to play for 100 Thieves once again.

Known to play both Ahri and Ryze, Ryu took first in the Rift Rivals 2017: NA vs EU, while also taking first at the IEM Season VIII - World Championship a few years prior.

Sadly, Ryu seems to have retired, but maybe someday, he will pick up Ahri again and compete.

Major Achievements:

• IEM Season VIII - World Championship – 1st place ($60,000)
• Rift Rivals 2017: NA vs EU – 1st place ($20,000)
