Jang 'Cain' Nu-ri 
The support player of Najin e-mFire Sword is nominated due to his super aggressive play that compliments the team of Najin Sword so well. Known heavily in Korea for his Sona and Leona play, this support player always manages to time his perfect Crescendo and Solar Flares that would give Najin Sword ample time to decimate the enemy team. With the korean scene starting to rise into the world of Professional League of Legends Cain has shown the world just how much a support can affect an entire game with just precision and timing. Najin Sword in 2012 topped Azubu Blaze in the S2 Regional Finals - Seoul for 1st, placed a top 8 in the S2 World Championships, and achieved 2nd place in the 2012 MLG Fall Championships.

Hong ‘Madlife’ Min-gi 
Azubu Frost’s insane support, who hosts an extremely large champion pool, is heavily regarded as one of the best supports in the world. Feared primarily for his Alistar for being able to completely zone out the enemy carries from teamfights, Madlife alone can change the entire course of a game once a teamfight comes along. Madlife has been known to host up to 9 champions to support as. His passive aggressive playstyle is to be feared as the enemy team never knows when Madlife will unleash the bull.Azubu Frost in 2012 placed 1st in The Champions Summer 2012 , 2nd place in both S2 World Championships and The Champions Spring 2012.
