EDward Gaming has won the League of Legends World Championship

The LPL champs are now also world champs.
Ben Lyons Senior Editor 8 november 2021

The League of Legends World Championship wrapped up over the weekend, concluding another season of the premier esports scene. The grand finals pitted the reigning LPL champions EDward Gaming against the reigning LCK champs DAMWON Gaming, over a best-of-five series to determine who would be dubbed the latest world champion.

The series went down to the wire, with both teams trading blows until the final game, which lasted for over 41:00 minutes, had concluded, seeing EDward manage to prevail over DAMWON to take the series and championship.

The win has rewarded EDward with $489,500 in cash prizes, and even saw the team's mid-laner Lee "Scout" Ye-chan awarded the prestigious Finals MVP award.

Now that the grand finals have wrapped, all eyes are on the next season of competitive LoL, which for Europe and the LEC will begin on January 14, 2022 with the next Spring season.
