After a grueling five matches, totaling six hours of game time on the stage at the All-Stars tournament, Tencent League of Legends Pro League (LPL) claims their victory after defeating League of Legends Master Series (LMS).

The All-Stars tournament consisted of eight teams, one from each of League’s regions, where the five strongest players came together to represent their region.

Generally, the annual All-Stars event is less serious and more entertaining. But fans were shocked when they witnessed the six-hour-long, best of five series.

Ultimately, this had to do with the nature of the tournament. There were weird picks like top-lane Annie and countless tower dives; Players were in it for more than winning, they were there to mess around and have fun with the game.

That’s what League of Legends is all about though, right?

Aaron Mickunas, the writer of this article, said “The theme of the day today seemed to be a mixture wanting to have fun and wanting to try really hard to win the trophy, and the result was a complete and utter mess of a series.”
