Which player won the 2018 League of Legends World Championship final MVP award?

Gao “Ning” Zhenning won the 2018 League of Legends World Championship final MVP award.

Ning, the jungler for Invictus Gaming, was named MVP of the 2018 World Championship final. Invictus Gaming defeated Fnatic 3–0 at Incheon Munhak Stadium in South Korea on November 3, 2018, becoming the first Chinese organization to win the League of Legends World Championship.

Ning’s aggressive jungle play was especially prominent during the series. He used champions including Camille and Xin Zhao while helping Invictus Gaming control early fights and objectives. His award recognized performance in the final, rather than across the entire championship.

The series also featured star teammates TheShy, Rookie, and JackeyLove, which can cause confusion when identifying the MVP. TheShy was widely praised during the broader tournament, but Ning received the official final MVP honor.
