Hi! I play on the EUW server, and my ELO is at Silver 3 in Ranked, and 500+ in Normals. I mainly play AP and AD carries, and my favourite AP mid laner I play is Malzahar. I'm not the best Malzahar player, but I am confident that I am good enough to guide newbies and players who want to get better to play Malzahar! By the way this is my first ever guide so forgive me if I am not that good at this! (If you win with my build, you can PM me your results to feature it on my guide!)
