One-Sided Match at Riot World Championships
The highly anticipated League of Legends match at the $2.2 million Riot World Championships turned out to be the most one-sided affair. Samsung Galaxy White swept their sister team, Samsung Galaxy Blue, finally putting an end to seasons of disappointment. White had never beaten Blue in the past, but this time, they looked superior in every aspect of the game. White out-picked Blue and every player on the team outplayed their counterparts. Even Blue’s “best mid laner in the world,” Bae “dade” Uh-Jin, couldn’t stand up to White’s Heo “Pawn” Won-Seok. Heo had been dominating throughout the tournament, and this match was no different. Heo destroyed Bae in game one, leaving no doubt about his skills.
In addition to Heo’s outstanding performance, other members of the White team also shone. Top laner Jang “Looper” Hyeong-seok and jungler Choi “DanDy” In-kyu proved their ability to carry the team. Jang displayed a wider champion pool than expected, while Choi showed why he is considered the best jungler in the world. Throughout the series, White had a significant advantage, and Blue failed to gain control at any point. White’s dominance in this match has solidified their position as the best squad in the world.
Although White has achieved a remarkable run so far in the tournament, they still have one more challenge ahead. They will be facing either Star Horn Royal Club or OMG in the finals. The question remains whether White will continue their spectacular performance or suffer a letdown in the finals. The answer will be revealed next week when two teams battle for the ultimate prize in League of Legends: the Summoner’s Cup.
