Mighty Koreans fall as Team Ice wins LoL All-Stars series
Four days of competition came to a conclusion after having played across every game mode imaginable, Team Ice were the decisive winners of the LoL All-Stars event over Team Fire.
Team Ice was composed of China’s LPL, the European LCS, and Taiwan’s LMS. It managed to finish with 1050 points to just 750 by Team Fire. The losing side included Korea’s LCK, the North American LCS and the GPL of South East Asia.
The event featured a number of incredible moments and upsets. Origen owner Enrique “xPeke” Cedeño Martínez was the surprise highlight of the 1v1 matches, taking out Zaqueri “Aphromoo” Black and Jung “Impact” Eon-yeong before losing 2-1 to fellow Team Ice member Jian “Uzi” Zi-Hao. On the other side Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok fell in the first round to fellow Korean Cho “Mata” Se-hyeong who was part of the LPL team.
Ice’s dominance of the solo games was the key to victory taking 450 of a possible 500 points from that category, despite LCK holding up their end for Team Fire in the regional battles going 3-0 against the Ice regions. The EU LCS meanwhile disappointed, only winning against the SEA side.
With the points difference Ice’s victory was assured even before the final All Star best of three clash. Team Fire did manage to claim some final bragging rights winning that series 2-1.
With the final event of the 2016 calendar now over, all eyes will turn to the 2017 leagues and how teams will perform.
