The 2020 League of Legends World Championship concluded earlier today with DAMWON Gaming hoisting the Summoner’s Cup. Eight Pick’em participants correctly predicted every match over the course of this year’s tournament and will take home an Alienware Battlestation, which has been used by professional players to play their Worlds matches on stage. Before the final match, 12 Pick’em participants remained. Four of them predicted Suning to win and dropped out of the challenge. More than 3,000 players predicting the group stages correctly, but the knockout stage was much more difficult with favored teams to win the title failing to make it to the final stages of the event. Pick’em challengers are hosted by Riot Games on a yearly basis for the League World Championship. Players can lock in their predictions for the tournament for chances to win a variety of prizes such as Hextech chests, Summoner Icons, Blue Essence, and more. This year has seen a huge improvement of Pick’em participants who correctly predicted the results of the entire Worlds run. Last year, only one fan correctly predicted the entirety of the 2019 World Championship and won the grand prize of all five Ultimate skins. For every World Championship, Riot Games hosts the Pick’em annual challenge in which players can lock in their predictions for the tournament for chances to win prizes such as blue essence, summoner icons, Hextech chests, and more. Last year, only one fan correctly predicted the entirety of the 2019 World Championship and won the grand prize of all five Ultimate skins. If any of the 12 participants with perfect scores get the last match correct, they’ll win an Alienware Battlestation, the same PC used by pros to play their matches on-stage during this year’s Worlds. Those who participated but didn’t get a perfect score may still have earned other prizes. The 2020 Season World Championship (Worlds 2020) is the conclusion of the 2020 League of Legends esports season. The tournament is held in Shanghai, China. The tournament began with Play-In stages on Sep. 25 and will conclude on Oct. 31 with the finals between two teams which would be arguably the best in the World. The Main-Event stage began on Oct. 3 and will feature the best 16 teams in the World. 8 out of them will advance to the knockout stage where they'll have a shot at advancing forward. The format for qualification in North America and Europe changed this year, with teams only being able to qualify directly through the LCS Summer Playoffs and LEC Summer Playoffs, respectively. Seeding Changes: China and Europe both receive one extra seed for a total of four, while the PCS is given two seeds, compared to a combined four for the LMS and Southeast Asia in 2019.In summary, one main event seed previously held by the LMS is given to Europe, and the play-in seed previously held by Southeast Asia is given to China.
