The League of Legends Worlds Championship is the biggest event in the LoL competitive scene and perhaps in all of esports. Each championship event crowns a team as LoL World Champion, which means they are the game’s best players.

In anticipation of this year’s League of Legends Worlds Championship, scheduled to start on the 25th of September, let’s look at past LoL Worlds Champions.

Past League of Legends Worlds Champions

Fnatic

Fnatic is technically the first League of Legends Worlds Champions, having won the Season 1 event. The event took place from June 18, 2011, and ran until June 20, 2011.

The Season 1 Championship was not on the same scale as later seasons were, nor was it marketed as such. Nevertheless, fans and pundits consider Fnatic an honorary world champion. Fnatic defeated Against All Authority in the final with a 2-1 score. Fnatic got to take home a $99,500 prize pool. The MVP of the game was Shushei.

Taipei Assassins

The Taipei Assassins were the second LoL World Champions crowned when they won the Season 2 championship. The event took place on October 4, 2012, and ran until October 13, 2012.

The Taipei Assassins are the only team from what is now considered a minor or wild card region to win a World Championship. Their victory is the biggest underdog success story at any Worlds event. They defeated Azubu Frost in the final with a 3-1 score. The team was rewarded with a $2,000,000 prize pool. No MVP was officially signed.

SK Telecom T1

SK Telecom T1 (SKT) was crowned LoL Worlds Champions the most times out of any team in the scene. They won the Season 3, 2015, and 2016 World Champions. They defeated Royal Club, KOO Tigers, and Samsung Galaxy to become champions for those three years.

For all three titles, SKT fielded the same mid-laner and jungler: Sang-hyeok “Faker” Lee, heralded as the greatest of all time, and Seong-woong “Bengi” Bae, Faker’s longtime sidekick. The 2013 bottom-lane duo was bot-laner Gwang-jin “Piglet” Chae and support Jeong-hyeon “PoohManDu” Lee. For 2015-2016, the more familiar Jun-sik “Bang” Bae and Jae-wan “Wolf” Lee competed in the bottom lane.

Each championship line-up featured a different top laner. For 2013, it was Eon-young “Impact” Jung. For 2015, it was Gyeong-hwan “MaRin” Jang. For 2016, it was Ho-seong “Duke” Lee.

Lol Worlds Champions

SK Telecom T1 took home a $2,050,000, $2,130,000, and $5,070,000 prize pool respectively, making them the top-earning team at worlds. At the 2015 and 2016 matches, the MVPs were MaRin and Faker; there was no MVP at Season 3.

Samsung White

Samsung White are the winners of the 2014 World Championship. The event ran from September 18, 2014, to October 19, 2014.

Samsung White (SSW) and sister team Samsung Blue (SSB) was the World Championship’s heavy favorites. 2014 was the height of the Korean dominance in the LoL professional scene.

For most pundits, Samsung Blue was the stronger team and the more likely team to win. It was thus a massive surprise when SSW upset SSB in the semi-finals. This came mainly from the two teams’ constant practice against each other, allowing SSW to craft specific strategies tailored to overcoming what most considered the superior Samsung team.

Samsung White defeated Star Horn Royal Club in the final with a 3-1 score. The team took home a $2,130,000 prize pool. The MVP of the event was Mata.

Samsung Galaxy

Samsung Galaxy (SSG) are the winners of the 2017 World Championship. The event ran from September 23, 2017, to November 4, 2017.

SSG was not expected to succeed as much as they did. Considered the weakest of the three LCK representative teams going into Worlds, SSG benefited greatly from the balance changes around the Ardent Censer support item. This pushed the metagame towards slow, bottom-lane-focused compositions that relied on scaling and late-game teamfighting: a perfect fit for SSG’s playstyle.

SSG defeated SK Telecom T1 with a 3-0 score in the final. The team took home a $4,596,591 prize pool. The MVP of the event was Ruler.

Invictus Gaming

Invictus Gaming (IG) are the winners of the 2018 World Championships. The event ran from October 1, 2018, to November 3, 2018.

IG was a wild card team in the most real sense. The team was famously aggressive with top mechanical talent in all three lanes. The team’s relentless need to fight was a double-edged sword and often cost the team as often as they succeeded.

The metagame at Worlds 2018 favored strong solo laners; IG had the best mid-laner and top-laner in Eui-jin “Rookie” Song and Seung-lok “TheShy” Kang. Coupled with the talented bot-laner Wen-bo “JackeyLove” Yu and an unusually strong performance from jungler Zhen-ning “Ning” Gao, IG took the playoffs by storm.

After an intense best-of-five series against tournament favorite kt Rolster in the quarter-finals, IG summarily stomped all opposition to the trophy. IG defeated Fnatic with a 3-0 score in the final. Thus, substitute top-laner Duke became the fifth player to win two World Championships (after former SKT teammates Faker, Bengi, Bang, and Wolf), although Duke did not play for IG in most of their games.
Invictus Gaming took home a $6,450,000 prize pool. The MVP of the game was Ning.

FunPlus Phoenix

FunPlus Phoenix (FPX) are the winners of the 2019 World Champions. The event ran from October 2, 2019, to November 10, 2019.

FPX is similar to Samsung Galaxy in that they won with a particular style that happened to fit the metagame. The metagame for Worlds 2019 favored strong team-fighting and objective control to secure victories.

FPX star mid-laner Tae-sang “Doinb” Kim is famous for his unconventional approach to the game. Comparatively lackluster in mechanical skill, Doinb instead relied on his in-depth game knowledge to gain lane pressure with unconventional picks and strategies. These tactics, nicknamed Doinb’s “dark technology,” allowed him to roam around the map and bolster his more mechanically talented teammates to get ahead. In the case of 2019 Worlds, Doinb operated alongside jungler Tian-liang “Tian” Gao.

FPX defeated G2 Esports with a 3-0 score in the final. The team took home a $2,200,000 prize pool. The MVP of the game was Tian.

You should now better understand the history of previous editions of the LoL Worlds and how the winning teams managed to claim their victories.

In Berkeley, there are a lot of reasons your neighbors might be screaming at 5 a.m. Maybe they’re having a party that’s gotten way out of hand, or maybe they’ve just received an email that their 9 a.m. class is canceled. Or, consider this: They could be nerds who stayed up late to watch the League of Legends World Championship.

Around 7 a.m. Oct. 31, DAMWON Gaming took down Suning 3-1 to become the 2020 League of Legends world champions. After beating out 21 other teams in the monthlong tournament, DAMWON became the first Korean team to lift the Summoner’s Cup since 2017.

Of the 6,000 fans who watched the final battle in Shanghai’s Pudong Soccer Stadium, many hoped that Suning, of China’s League of Legends Pro League, would take an underdog victory in the team’s home country.

The first three games (including Suning’s win in Game 2) were extremely close, but DAMWON firmly shattered the home crowd’s dreams by the fourth and final game of the series, completely shutting out Suning in a 27-minute stomp. DAMWON jungler Kim “Canyon” Geon-bu, who was awarded MVP of the series, looked especially dominant, handily building early leads for his laners to snowball the team to victory.

“In an interview during Worlds, I had said that my goal was to win the championship and to get the finals MVP,” Kim said in a post-match interview, translated by Inven Global. “Now that I really got it, it’s unbelievable and I feel amazing.”

DAMWON’s journey to the championship was nothing short of incredible. The team has become the best in the world in an extremely short period of time, signaling a new rise of Korean strength with its aggressive, adaptable play style.

DAMWON is a young team by any standard; it qualified to compete in League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK), the highest-level Korean regional league, in spring 2019.

“Last year, DAMWON was full of rookie players that played around their mechanics. But this year, with Coach (Yang “Daeny” Dae-in’s) feedback, the players gained a lot of understanding of the game and absorbed it really well,” said Lee “Zefa” Jae-min, DAMWON’s head coach. “That’s why they were able to win Worlds.”

Bot laner Jang “Ghost” Yong-jun, who was once a notoriously weak player in the Korean competitive scene, had never been to Worlds before 2020.

“A message to the other (pro) players who are having a tough time: They can just look up to me and think, ‘This kind of guy can also win Worlds,’ so I hope they can cheer up, never give up and accomplish the goals they have,” Jang said in a press conference after the match.

Suning, with a second-place finish, came out of the tournament with achievements of its own. The team was constantly underestimated, with many predicting that Suning would fall in the first round of the knockout stage. Yet, the team proved to be fierce competition.

The series has been hailed as the most exciting finals in the last four years, breaking the streak of 3-0 series that began in 2017. Suning top laner Chen “Bin” Ze-Bin also wrote his way into history with the first-ever pentakill in a finals series, wiping out all five of DAMWON’s players on Fiora in Game 2.

Like everything else in 2020, the tournament was marked by the effects of COVID-19. Players spent 14 days self-isolating in a government-run converted hotel, reminiscent of the famous NBA bubble.

But even under unusual circumstances, nothing can take the shine away from DAMWON’s crowning achievement.

“The message that I want to say to the players is, you guys are the best players in the world,” Lee said.
