An annual party that belongs to the LOL players has begun from Sept 25 to Oct 30.
Basic Background
The League of Legends World Championship is a yearly international tournament that brings the top teams from each regional league together into a battle to hoist the Summoner’s Cup and earn the title of World Champion. The year 2020 marks the tenth version of the most exciting event in esports and it was held in Shanghai, China. Play-Ins through Semifinals were held in the Shanghai Media Tech Studio, and Finals was held in the never-before-used Pudong Football Stadium. Players who are a region’s seeds are based on past international performance. The consistently strong regions will send some or all of their seeds directly to the group stage, while other regions will receive fewer seeds and/or start from the qualifiers.
Championship Team
At the World Championship, DAMWON was placed in Group B alongside JD Gaming, Rogue, and PSG Talon. DAMON went 5–1 in the group stage, dropping their only game vs JD Gaming and advancing to the quarterfinals, where they met DRX in a rematch of the Summer LCK Finals. DAMON quickly dispatched DRX 3–0 in the quarterfinals, gearing up for a rematch against G2 Esports in the semifinals. After going back in forth in Game 1 & 2 against G2, DWG retook the lead in Game 3 and broke the record for the fastest game in Worlds history vs G2 in Game 4, securing themselves a spot in the World Championship Final. In the final, they met Suning from the LPL, who had eliminated the #1 and #2 seeds from China. DAMON managed to win a close Game 1, but then dropped Game 2 to Suning. They retook the lead in another close game in Game 3, before stomping Suning in Game 4 and winning the series, as well as the entire tournament. This meant that DAMWON would become the first Korean world champions since 2017. This also announced the return of the Korean team to the top of the world stage。
Moments and Memories
There is no doubt that this year’s world champion left audiences and players an unforgettable memory. The venue, the performers, the LoL players all worked together to present such a great night. All players have brought exciting competitions to all players from all over the world. Let us look forward to next year’s finals.
