The League of Legends 2017 World Championship wrapped up this past weekend with a spectacular finale in the Bird’s Nest arena in Beijing, China. Samsung Galaxy wowed fans as they steamrolled over three-time winners SKT Telecom T1 in a straight sets finale, denying legendary LCK star Faker his fourth Summoner’s Cup in the process.
Despite another South Korean victory – the fifth in a row – this was no ordinary Worlds. SKT finally showed they were vulnerable, Chinese teams looked stronger than ever, and underdogs from the EU and NA LCS gave frontrunners a serious run for their money in the quarter finals.
Pictures might paint a thousands words, but the real detail is buried in the data, so in order to recap an extraordinary tournament, we thought we’d combine them both. Scroll down to see our infographic running down everything you need to know about Worlds 2017.
