    Three Fnatic members from left to right: Oscarinin, Humanoid, and Razork

    As we wait for the last game, meet Óscar Muñoz Jiménez, Marek Brázda and Iván Martín Díaz - better known as Oscarinin, Humanoid and Razork from the Fnatic esports team.

    Fnatic was the first team to ever win a League of Legends World Championships back in 2011 - the first time the event was held.

    "It feels great to be here even though I'm not here to play," says Humanoid.

    The boys are throwing their support behind reigning champions T1.

    And of course they know better than most how much it takes to get to the top of the game.

    "It takes a lot of work," says Oscarnin. "The whole year you have to improve everything you can to win.

    "It's super hard. Only two teams can make it."

    Bee and Will posing outside O2 Arena.

    Earlier today, I spoke to Bee and Will, who began playing League together in 2020 during the Covid lockdown. They were feeling confident of a T1 win then, and they still do now.

    Reconnecting with them after that fourth game, Bee said that while Faker turned the game in T1’s favour there, “Keria had some really impactful moments as support that had our group cheering”.

    “I think my voice will be gone after game five!” she said.

    Faker of T1 secures victory in the fourth game

    Faker and Gumayusi are on a rampage.

    T1 is poised in front of the Nexus—victory is theirs for the taking.

  9. T1 is taking leadpublished at 17:32 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November

    Looks like T1 isn't quite ready to let go of that world champion title just yet.

    We're probably heading into a fifth game—definitely value for the audience's money.

    In front of BLG's base, XUN is down in another team fight.

    T1 is leading the kill count now.

    And T1 has slayed the Baron.

    At 25 minutes mark:

    T1

    Kills: 8 Gold: 45.4k Turrets: 6

    BLG

    Kills: 8 Gold: 41.8k Turrets: 2

    T1 is making a strong push from the bottom lane, having destroyed six towers in total and now boasting a 5k gold lead.

    Thanks to Faker, who appeared out of nowhere, a massive showdown erupts in the mid lane, handing T1 a couple of kills.

    But BLG have snatched the Baron.

    A scene at the venue of LoL Worlds

    As the players were establishing themselves in the Rift before the minions spawn, much of the O2 erupted into chants of “Let’s go T1”.

    That last game was a disappointing loss for fans of the Korean side after a huge game two.

    Both T1 and BLG have proved they can dominate in the right conditions, so the ultimate crown remains anyone’s to claim.

    In the top lane, another team fight erupts.

    XUN takes down Oner, Elk takes down Gumayusi, and Knight finishes off Keria.

    A major victory for BLG.

    Bin found himself trapped in the bottom lane but managed a daring escape.

    This sparked a team fight where Gumayusi took down Elk, and Keria took down XUN.

    The kill count is now level at 3-3.

    T1 is gaining momentum.

  17. Postpublished at 17:15 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November

    Despite BLG racking up the kills, T1 has nabbed six voidgrubs while BLG has none.

    So, T1 isn't lagging too far behind after all.

    At the ten-minute mark, the game's been a nail-biter, despite BLG bagging three early kills.

    Who knows what twists lie ahead?

    Faker has been hot on Elk's heels up in the top lane and finally snagged his first kill in game four.

    XUN had Faker cornered, but, in true Faker fashion, he slipped away once more.
