Students gather to watch the League of Legends World Championships.

It happened. The Koreans won the League of Legends World Championship. Again. Sigh.

Samsung White took the Summoner’s Cup from Star Horn Royal Club, besting them 3-1 Saturday night. A crowd of eager students in College Park watched the games live, many with fingers crossing that SHRC would make a comeback.

Though Royal Club managed one win ­— a false glimmer of hope — SSW took the last game easily.

“Even though I rooted for SHRC, the underdogs, to pull through, everyone knew that SSW would come out on top,” said League of Legends club member Philip Phlek. “Not only are the SSW players mechanically skilled in each of their respective roles, they have incredible team synergy and always seem to be at least one step ahead of their opponent.”

“Honestly besides facing an overall skill disadvantage, SHRC faced one disadvantage I believe hurt them more than anything: communication,” said member Ryan Windsor. “Their team can only communicate in game via smart pings and very simple English and/or Chinese, which severely hinders communication, whereas SSW spoke normally to each other.”

SHRC seemed to have lost steam by the last game, allowing SSW’s jungler, In-kyu “DanDy” Choi to have his favorite champion: Rengar. DanDy ended up going 5-0-13 KDA line on the champion, a devastating score for a champion who builds stacks.

SSW’s support, Se-hyoung “Mata” Cho ended up with the MVP title with his 10.04 KDA.

The computer science lecture hall was jam packed with students despite the late time; the first matches and opening ceremony started at roughly 3 a.m. With Imagine Dragons opening the games by performing Warriors (the song written for Worlds), everyone was hyped and excited. A one-on-one tournament even took place in between the main matches.

Most students had their laptops set up in front of them, playing their own games as they watched the pros duke it out.

“I feel like the viewing party gives a great way to help us get together as an organization and put faces to names, as well as give away some cool prizes that we may not be able to usually giveaway,” said club officer Alex Stadlin, who sat in the front of the games, making announcements and shoutcasting the one-on-one tournament.
