In 2014, Riot Games impressed the whole world by hosting its Worlds grand final in Seoul in the greatest venue League of Legends has ever known at the time: the Seoul World Cup Stadium (66.704 people capacity). The company proved their influence in the Esport industry, and has decided a year later to bring back its greatest competition where it all began, in Europe.

After being held in three countries the previous year, the tournament is taking place this year in four different countries: France, at the Dock Pullman in Paris for the Group Stages (3.500 people capacity), the United Kingdom, at the SSE Arena in Wembley, London (10.800 people capacity), in Belgium, at the Brussels Expo (15.000 people capacity) and finally Germany, at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin, in front of 17,000 spectators. An idyllic setting for the first real Worlds in Europe, especially since the local audience had already proven themselves at the All-Star event last year in Paris.

Format remained the same as 2014 with sixteen teams divided into four groups of four where only the two best teams qualify to quarters. Stakes were also as high as before, with a total cashprize of $2,130,000 with $1.000.000 only for the first place.

EU was definitely better than NA

2015's Worlds scenario has been quite spectacular from the beginning and offered as many surprises as upsets. Europe sent two very dominating teams. Playing in front of their public, Fnatic came with of lot of hopes on their shoulder as the team of Bora "YellOwStaR" Kim dominated the EU LCS during Summer Split with a record 18-0 during the regular season and won through playoffs after an extremely tight series against Origen.

The Orange and Black ended their first week of matches with only one win and two losses which made them in a very bad position while their american rivals, Cloud9 stood at the first place winning their three matches. Counter Logic Gaming (CLG) as a first seed also logically lead in their group only loosing to KOO Tigers while Team Solomid had a rough start versus Origen and KT Rolster, LCK's second seed.

But week 2 has been the theater of a catastrophic second round for the Americans. The three teams from the region lost all their respective matches. This was unprecedented for a major region at the time. Cloud9, who were on the verge of qualifying, were overtaken by Fnatic - who made a fantastic comeback with three victories that day -, and more importantly by AHQ. The Taiwanese team eliminated Cloud9 in a tiebreaker where the Americans appeared exhausted, unable to continue their journey.

CLG also got humiliated as they lost to paiN Gaming, the Brazilian team which came in the tournament as one of the weakest opponent on paper and gave away the two first places to Flash Wolves (Taiwan) and KOO Tigers. In the shadow of such events, Chinese teams also got decimated pretty early in the competition. Only EDward Gaming managed to qualify to quarters, while Invictus Gaming ended fourth, and LGD Gaming got eliminated in a group where they were labelled as favorites.

These scenarios placed Europe in an ideal scenario where Fnatic, the reigning champions, and Origen (Enrique "xPeke" Cedeño Martínez and Paul "sOAZ" Boyer's team) managed to get out of groups and be placed in separate parts of the bracket.

Korea: one region to rule them all

Taiwanese teams from LMS got eliminated straight into the quarters as Origen and SKT Telecom T1 crushed their hopes, respectively outing the promising Flash Wolves 3-1 and AHQ 3-0. On the other side of the bracket, Fnatic also terminated EDward Gaming in a 3-0, ending China's run at 2015 Worlds, while the two Korean teams faced each other letting the KOO Tigers avenge their loss in LCK's Summer playoffs in semis beating KT Rolster 3-1.

And so it was stated that the two best regions of 2015's Worlds were South Korea and Europe. It was now time either for Korea to bring another title home or for Europe to bring back the trophy by winning it on its own land. It was soon pretty clear the Koreans were the favorites to their own succession. Indeed, SKT did not loose a single game in the tournament so far and the KOO Tigers terminated KT Rolster quite easily.

Moreover, Europe indirectly got handicapped as Gragas, a key pick for both Fnatic and Origen, has been disabled for the rest of the competition because of a bug in quarter's between Fnatic and EDG. Yeu-jin "Reignover" Kim had to pause the second game as his champion could no longer throw barrels. The game was remade and the match finished without further issues.

Results got pretty clear to decide which region will dominate the other as SKT won 3-0 once again against Origen, and KOO Tigers outted Fnatic 3-0 with their impressive individual talents.

The grand final offered for the first time a one-region-battle where SKT got the upper hand pretty easily and won 3-1 in an almost one-way matchup. Lead by their star player Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok, it is their toplaner Jang "MaRin" Gyeong-hwan who received the final MVP award for proving himself as the best rumbler of the tournament and most probably one of the very best player in the world. Without a doubt, SKT dominated everyone in 2015 and only lost one match during their whole 2015 summer season and Worlds accumulated.

SKT becomes the first team to win twice Worlds title

After Samsung White's victory in 2014, SKT won League of Legends Worlds in 2015. They became the first team to win two Worlds and marked history once more with this roster:

As for the previous years, SKT got honored again by adding a new set of in-game skins to commemorate their achievement to the "SKT" skin line, featuring customized appearances for champions used by the team. These skins included SKT Renekton, SKT Elise, SKT Ryze, SKT Sivir and SKT Alistar.
