Korean LCL All-Star Team and the Chinese LPL All-Star Team swept the European and American divisions all the way to the final.

The OMG team only won 2 wins and 2 losses after an unexpected loss to C9, but they completed their revenge in the semifinals, sweeping C9 2:0, and meeting SKT in the final.
