LoL World Championship, also known as Worlds – is a competition among the strongest teams of the professional leagues in the moba genre game, named LoL.

The only one exception was Season 1 World Championship, that was held in the summer, 2011.

The last year’s tournament grand finals were watched by 43 millions, and the peak reached 14.7 millions of viewers. Summing up viewers of all LoL World Championships this number is equal to the 396 millions of viewers in total.

PRIZE POOL | WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

The prize fund of the Worlds, Season 1 was $100 000, and Fnatics took the half of the prize pool as the winners of the tournament. From the second to the fifth season, the prize pool was increased dramatically – $2.000.000. Winners of these seasons claimed one million as a prize money.

In the last year, Riots decided to use the same strategy as the Valve with their The International. Riot introduced the new system where everyone who buy new Championship Zed skin and Championship Ward adds 25% of the money spent to the prize fund. Original Prize Pool that was assigned by Riot Games was standard $2.000.000 but in the end, it was increased to the $6.700.000 by the help of the LoL fans.

Will Riots expand this system in the Worlds 2017? If they do, this will be definitely the new record of the World Championship prize pool. Soon we will know the answer but at this time all information is secured.
