Samsung White – this is the best League of Legends team. After a stunning group stage and a strong finals, SSW managed to defeat the Chinese team Star Horn Royal Club in the final in Seoul.
Dominance of the South Koreans
The path to the final looked like a stroll for SSW. They did not lose any of their six games in the group stage. The first game where the current world champions had to take a hit was in the quarterfinals against the North American team Team SoloMid. But here too, they clearly won the series 3-1. With a 3-0 victory, Samsung White then dominated their sister team Samsung Blue and entered the final with only one loss.
The Final in Seoul
For the second time in a row, Royal Club made it to the finals of the championships. This took place at the Seoul World Cup Stadium. Not only the location but the event itself was grand. Imagine Dragons began and ended the finals with their hit song “Warriors.” Riot once again showed that they are currently leading the eSports scene with League of Legends. It’s exciting to see what is planned for next year.
…and the winner is
Games were also played yesterday. It wasn’t particularly exciting, as SSW defeated Royal Club 3-1. Only in Game 3 could the Chinese team disrupt SSW’s early game and secure a victory. In the other games, the South Koreans quickly dominated at home and gave Royal Club no breathing room. The Most Valuable Player was awarded to Mata. The supporter of SSW is considered the best in his role and is seen as the successor to MadLife. Other teams will need to improve significantly to have a chance against such strong South Koreans in the future. Particularly the European teams Alliance and Fnatic were unable to impress this year and were eliminated in the preliminary round.
