A win for DAMWON Gaming
Twenty-two international teams qualified to participate in this year’s World Championship. On Saturday morning, the series finally ended 3-1 as DAMWON accepted the title of the 2020 World Champions in front of 6,000 fans at the Pudong Stadium in Shanghai, China.
The South Korean top seed began today’s tournament with a leg up, winning the first match in 35 minutes. They earned 4 Drakes, 2 Barons, and 1 Elder, giving them a major advantage to Suning. Unfortunately, the LPL team couldn’t keep up with the gold difference. Moving on to the next game, Suning pushed forward and followed in DAMWON’s footsteps, reaching almost every objective as Suning’s top-laner Chen “Bin” Ze-Bin as Fiora dealing over 27 thousand points in damage. Overall, the final two games proved that DAMWON wouldn’t give up easily, with the last match ending quickly in 27 minutes.

DAMWON’s Worlds victory marks the first win in 3 years for the LCK. The last South Korean team to win the World Championship was Samsung Galaxy in 2017. SKT 1 followed right behind them, winning the Worlds Champions title from 2015 to 2016.

Unfortunately, Suning’s loss breaks the LPL’s win streak from 2018 to 2019. Regardless, their entire run from the start of Worlds to the end is a huge accomplishment for their region.
