The first tournament was won by the team named Fnatic which was made up of 2 German, 1 Spanish, 1 Finish and 1 Polish players. Their prize was USD 50,000 for the golden medal.

Taipei Assassins won the next year’s competition. Their team consisted of a player from Hong Kong and 4 more from Taiwan. It is interesting to see how much the prize grew in only one year: They claimed USD 1,000,000 for their achievement. South Korean LoL players have been dominating ever since: SK Telecom T1 won in 2013, while Samsung Galaxy White clinched victory in 2014. Both teams are made up of 5-5 South Korean players. Their prize was USD 1,000,000 as well.

SK Telecom T1 are this year’s favourites

The title-holder Samsung Galaxy White have lost their best players and the teams has not even managed to qualify for the tournament this year. The big favourites for final victory are South Korea’s SK Telecom T1, a team which has good experiences in the League of Legends World Championship as they were the best team in 2013.Their first match will be played against H2k, an encounter for which 2013’s golden medalists will be expected to win easily according to most internet betting sites, including  Bet365 Sportsbook, who has set the odds for their victory at 1.10 (1/10).

Punters and gamers from all around the world should consider reading through their country’s rules about online sports betting because gambling on E-sport events is still not possible in many countries.
