For the second year running, a Chinese team dominated the League of Legends World Championship.
The LPL naysayers insisted that Invictus Gaming’s 2018 run was a blip on the radar and the LCK would soon bounce back. But that couldn’t have been further from the truth.
Royal Never Give Up fell victim to the Group of Death, but both IG and the LPL’s No. 1 seed, FunPlus Phoenix, dictated their pools and easily advanced to the knockout stage.
From there, neither Europe nor Korea could withstand their might, losing swiftly in 3-1 defeats. G2 Esports looked hopeful on the opposite side of the bracket, but FPX dismantled them in the finals.
The LPL now looks to solidify its world dominance later this year and once again prove its worth on the international stage.
Here’s a look at all of the rosters going into the 2020 LPL Summer Split.
