DLTV BEST PLAYER AWARDS OF 2023, POSITION 1: THIRD PLACE
Taking bronze as the third-best Carry player of 2023 is Team Liquid’s miCKe. The Swede helped his team solidify themselves as one of the best teams in the world. Though they contested the title in almost every tournament, Team Liquid unfortunately could never finish the job and win a trophy.
Nonetheless, Team Liquid boasted some extremely respectable results in 2023:
- 2nd place at Lima Major 2023
- 2nd place at DreamLeague S19
- 2nd place at Berlin Major 2023
- 2nd place at Bali Major 2023
- 2nd place at Riyadh Masters 2023
- 9th place at DreamLeague S21
- 6th place at The International 12
- 3rd place at ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023
Liquid’s Carry player consistently has high GPM and is an incredibly dependable laner. He has impressive status relative to other top players and a vast pool of heroes. If the laning phase goes wrong, miCKe is really good at recovering and completing his core items in a reasonable time.
In 2023 miCKe’s statistics are as follows relative to other Carry players:
- Top 3 KDA: 5.34
- Top 3 Average Kills Per Game: 7.96 (Among all players and roles)
- Top 4 (Least) Average Deaths Per Game: 3.24
- Top 5 Average Damage Per Game: 27,237
- Top 6 Average GPM: 690
The 24-year-old’s favorite heroes last year were:
- Monkey King (24 Maps, 79% Win Rate)
- Bloodseeker (22 Maps, 64% Win Rate)
- Morphling (21 Maps, 57% Win Rate)
You can find miCKe’s best performance in the Berlin Major, where Team Liquid took second place. He played exceptionally well in this tournament. Check out his statistics:
- Top 1 Average GPM: 742 (Among all players and roles)
- Top 1 Average Damage Per Game: 27,586 (Among all Carry players)
- Top 2 Average Kills Per Game: 8.29 (Among all Carry players)
Unfortunately, miCKe tends to crack under pressure and often underperforms in crucial matches such as Grand Final ones. Still, he’s a young player gathering as much experience as possible. Maybe 2024 will be his year!
