LPL defeats LMS to claim All-Stars throne in League of Legends

It took six hours, five games, and more solo queue shenanigans than we’ve seen on the pro stage in a long time, but the LPL has won the 2017 League of Legends All-Stars tournament.

The annual League of Legends All-Stars event is typically the less-serious, more entertaining tournament of the year, especially when compared to MSI and Worlds.

That’s why, when the finals began today, no one expected to witness a six-hour-long try-harding slugfest between the best and brightest of the LPL and LMS. After the grueling endurance test that was the final best-of-five, the LPL came out on top to claim the trophy. The theme of the day today seemed to be a mixture wanting to have fun and wanting to try really hard to win the trophy, and the result was a complete and utter mess of a series.

Ultimately, the LPL’s patient, more organized style of macro play outpaced the LMS and their hyper-aggressive rotations, but it was one of the closest best-of-five of the year. The LPL played out a six-hour-long series and they earned the victory in 2017 All-Stars tournament.
