Over 4 million tuned in, excluding Chinese viewership.
Chinese team EDward Gaming (EDG) has claimed the Summoner’s Cup in the League of Legends World Championship 2021, beating out rivals DWG KIA for the organization’s first win at Worlds. EDG won the five game series 3 to 2, with not even one of the games being anything but an evenly matched back-and-forth struggle. The match drew over 4 million viewers outside of China, with a very likely millions more to come once those figures are tallied.
EDG was an underdog in this matchup, not only having never appeared at a Worlds final before, but going up against DWG KIA. DWG won last year’s Worlds, and a win this year would have cemented the team as only the second in history to win two consecutive Worlds matches. The stakes were even higher for Khan, one of DWG’s star players, as he was called up to military service in his native South Korea and will be forced to retire.
