Beijing hosted the grand final of the 2017 League of Legends World Championship.
The final was played at Beijing’s National Stadium, widely known as the Bird’s Nest, on 4 November 2017. South Korean team Samsung Galaxy defeated SK Telecom T1 in the best-of-five series, but the venue itself was the Chinese capital’s landmark stadium.
The 2017 World Championship was staged across several Chinese cities, including Wuhan, Guangzhou and Shanghai during earlier rounds. That multi-city format can cause confusion when identifying the final location. Beijing was reserved for the championship match, giving the event a large outdoor-style ceremonial setting and a major international audience.
