League of Legends Worlds Final Set Between G2 Esports and FunPlus Phoenix
This is the first year in which SK Telecom T1 was in attendance and didn't qualify for the finals. Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok and company previously won three world championships and fell to Samsung Galaxy in the 2017 final.
G2 Esports has a chance to exact revenge for its fallen European brother Fnatic who was swept 3-0 by Invictus Gaming in last year's final. For FunPlus Phoenix, this is a chance to secure China back-to-back worlds trophies and its first in team history.
If G2 Esports was to win, the European team will have won both domestic splits, the Mid-Season Invitational and Worlds.
The League of Legends World Championship final takes place Nov. 10 at 6 a.m. ET.
