'League Of Legends' 2014 Champions: A Closer Look At Winners Samsung Galaxy White

The “League of Legends” world championships wrapped up in Seoul on Saturday night, and the competition drew in 40,000 attendees at the city’s World Cup Stadium. Pro teams Samsung White of South Korea and China’s Star Horn Royal Club battled it out in the multiplayer online arena game for five hours.
