In a convincing 2-0 victory forcing 3 surrenders out of their last 4 games, Korea absolutely dominates their way to 1st place.
?The grand finals started with an engage to stagger the audience straight off the bat with LPL getting caught out early but still surviving and almost grabbing a first blood bottom lane despite their disadvantageous position early on. The early stalemate would quickly come to an end when Ambition's TF punished bottom , allowing 2 kills and a dragon 8 minutes in.
In a gank top, Troll would pick up a kill and grab some revenge on the Korean team, but unfortunately for LPL, they were still quite far behind at this phase of the game. The pressure would only continue from Korea as they anticipated all ganks from China and came out ahead at every turn. Things wouldn't be looking hot for China as objectives were taken and even their own buffs were taken straight away.

Despite a 6,000 gold deficit, China were capable of drawing out fights up to one minute in length and taking minimal hero losses, but not without losing plenty of their turrets to Korea. Punishing all mistakes, sniping China down, and taking full control of the game, China was looking like they were closer and closer to requiring to go onto game 2 being 12k gold behind 25 minutes in.
Eventually, CN could not hold out anymore and forced their third surrender of the night, with only one more to go. China would have to go into the next game reconsidering their drafts and wondering what they could do next to clear their heads and get it together to see if they could win on the home field.

?With Malphite mid on China's team and Jungle Gragas on Korea's team, it was sure to be a crazy game 2 in the grand finals. Even 3 minutes into the game, lane swaps were going crazy with lanes swapping back and forth repeatedly. With a stalemate going on for quite some time, a first blood would break that streak from Shy's Jayce.
Shortly after, China almost finds a kill in Korea's jungle, but unfortunately just end up falling 0-2 with Korea's team looking completely unstoppable. Troll would find some revenge after a counter gank bottom, abusing Madlife aggressively diving for his 2-0 and taking advantage of the hectic situation generated by the aggression of Korea. China would still find themselves at a 2k gold deficit.
Regrettably for the rest of the world, even China could not stand a chance against the Korean All-Stars and Korea would end the game with almost quadruple the kills. Being over 15k ahead and China defending in desperacy, it wasn't long before Korea would steamroll yet another opponent, leaving no chance for a Chinese comeback and clearly cut displaying themselves as the best team in the world.
