All past LoL World Champions

The League of Legend World Championship is the biggest esport event of the year. Join us on a trip down memory lane with past champions.

It all began in 2011 with a European championship, but over the years Asian teams have established a clear dominance on the international stage.

However Eastern dominance has not negatively affected viewership, over the years the audience increased from 1,6 million in 2011 to a staggering over 100 million in 2019.

Here are all the past Worlds champions, starting with 2020’s winner DAMWON Gaming:

DAMWON Gaming (2020) in Shanghai | Heralding the return of the LCK to the throne, DAMWON Gaming defeated Suning 3-1 to claim the 2020 World Championship for Korea. ▲
FPX (2019) in Paris | It could have been the second European title, but G2 missed out on the perfect LoL season. FunPlusPhoenix blew G2 out of the water with a clear 3-0 scoreline, establishing China as the next powerhouse region after Korea. ▲
Invictus Gaming (2018) in Incheon | 2018 marked the first time a Chinese team took home the World Championship. Invictus Gaming dethroned the Koreans, who had held the throne for five years in a row. Their clear 3-0 victory over Fnatic showed their dominance. ▲
