It really felt like this worlds was so incredible all around.

-We had the most diverse and one of the most fun metas in the history of worlds

-Plenty of amazing storylines that didn't feel forced. Faker vs Deft, upsets during group stages, NA with the sliver of redemption during week 2, EU with the strong start then collapse, Korea returning dominance post-groups, CN with a solid showing, young players and the huge surprise stars like Zeka, older players showing they've still got it, and so many more. BEST UNDERDOG STORY IN WORLDS HISTORY WITH DRX.

-Every single caster smurfed it, seriously I have never seen such a consistently good cast every match (hell, even the wardrobes were fly as hell). Analysts and Dash as the host were so incredible too, not a single complaint.

-Content pieces were top tier and felt really unique

-In the knockout stages, there was only one real stomp - the rest were really competitive and fun to watch.

-Crowd was cheering so loud for every team, even in play-in and group stages.

-New tech like the tri-lane cams were awesome and not over used

Massive shout-out to everyone involved in making this worlds the best we've ever seen, I'm sure a sh*t ton of people behind the scenes did a lot to help make it happen, and we don't know most of them, but thank you all for making this so great!

I think Beryl would have found a place among most top 5 support lists even before the tournament, this win should cement him as a legendary player though.

He’s the only non-T1 player (AKA didn’t play with Faker) to win multiple championships, if I’m not mistaken

The fact that no one is thread is even mentioning the 1hp nexus inhib respawn game shows just how stacked the entire tournament was.

Any other worlds that would’ve been an easy top 3 highlight.

100% agree.
