China’s Edward Gaming (EDG) team was crowned the 2021 League of Legends world championships winners on November 6, 2021, after a five-game thriller that saw it beating last year’s champion, South Korea’s DWG Kia. The Shanghai-based team is bringing home prize money totalling US$2.225 million. The win comes as Beijing tightened control over video gaming. Players under 18 can now only play between 8-9pm on Fridays, Saturdays and statutory holidays. The new rule has dashed the esport ambitions of many of China’s young gamers.

dota2 players: we get 5mil for each players for winning TI. that's cute
$ 2.225m is the total prize pool. They only take $489,500. On another side which SCMP not covering, PSD LGD got $5,202,400 from 2nd place in the Dota Tournament.
They pulled off one of the best underdog's surprising feat story. Congrats!
Winning for winner one of the most militarily forces countries world in there
Gaming should be banned. Kids in China should focus on Xi's Thoughts instead.
So glad to see EDG made history.
EDG牛逼
I'm not gonna make a joke about social credit or their government, I'll instead just be here in the comment section just for the sake of being here.
Jung diff
Lets go EDG!
$2 million is not small but TI had $40 million
What's the meaning of playing games?
Let's go China, build up social credit
Their crackdown is towards youth and children, which has nothing to do with the fact that the gaming industry is thriving in china
Congratulation for china
Fun fact, Chinese twitter users used fans parading in China celebrating this victory as protest against the government.
A lot of anti-China people took the bait
👎👎👎👹👹👹Watch out !!! there are a lots of Propaganda Channels by Communist China 🇨🇳to Taiwan & World. China 🇨🇳 chips technology is far below US, so invades Taiwan to get TSMC chips in order to control the world.
+10 000 000 social credit points
They make millions under 18… Kids now days
I wonder how many sponsored they will get
Last one. China banned teens from playing video games. I don’t see them ever winning again in the future.
surprised the ccp let them film this
I wonder if China will still limit gaming time after this
Still won even though they only got 3 houses to practice a week
I don't think the e-sport will make china government change its mind, training for professionals only cater to a small percentage number of total gamers.
Like people like to play soccer, not many of them wanted to play professionally but the majority just play casually.
Rather than wasting billions on Olympic a dying event nobody watches, China should invest on future promising E Sport and other non political sporting events that can garner million of fans.
they should fight team USA. English speaking chinese.haha!
Grand Prizes:
LoL = $2.2M
DOTA2 = $18M +
such a big difference. I would rather be 1st or 2nd or 3rd place in DOTA2 rather than a champion in LoL..
So, Faker wins again…
I'm quite surprised that there's quite a lot of news talk about this LOL world championship that the China team won. But not once, they mention their LGD got 2nd place (5.2M usd), lost to a black horse, Team Spirit in The International 10
It looked at itself through the improbability through the difference in distance between it's sensors as we might see through my our eye and it's electronics.
+20 social credit
