As someone who was able to attend the Semi-finals for the World Championships and watched most of the rest of it on the live streams and I must say it was amazing!
Not even taking into account the amazing level of play displayed by all teams from a players standpoint but as a spectator, it was something to see.
The venues whether the stage at Riot Studios, The Galen Center at USC, or eventually the Staples Center in Los Angeles were all prepared perfectly and adorned in League oriented awesomeness. The Life Size statues of Tryndamere, Katarina, Ziggs, and Ryze, the huge wall sized team vs posters and all the cosplayers made the event the place to be for anyone who loves the game.
Even despite some of the outrages prices, all of the merchandise was perfect for the event. From posters to t-shirts, jackets to plushies there was something for any league enthusiast.
And its impossible to mention the quality of coverage by Riot. Not only was the casting for the actual games spectacular, but the additional analyst desk something to watch! The funny yet informative commentary that came from the pro players and casters kept me and many other viewers stuck to the screen in between games to see what we had missed or misunderstood.
In reality there is way to much to say about Worlds then I could possibly mention in a reasonable length post. I will suffice to say that Worlds this year was amazing and it is something I will definitely strive to attend every year.
The Season Three World Champions are Korea's SK Telecom T1, and their victory was very well earned against China's Royal Club. For all coverage of the games and events at worlds go to the league champion series youtube page.
