The league, contested by ten teams, runs two seasons a year and serves as a direct route to qualification for the annual League of Legends World Cup. LCK is managed in collaboration with Riot Games and KeSPA. The league was previously named League of Legends Champions, and at the end of 2014 it underwent a major restructuring that changed the format of the competition and renamed its current name. OGN maintained the league's exclusive broadcasting rights until 2016, when the rights were allocated to spotv games. [1] In 2019, Riot Games took over the broadcast of LCK. [3] LCK is widely regarded as the world's most powerful League of Legends competition, with the league winning the World Cup between 2013 and 2017; 2018 was the first season since 2013, when a team from LCK did not win the World Cup. History Pre-LCK era (2012-2014) After the launch of the South Korean League of Legends server in December 2011, cable broadcaster OnGameNet launched the country's first major League of Legends competition in March 2012. The tournament, called spring 2012, was held from March to May and a total of 16 teams competed. MiG Blaze became the competition's first champion after beating teammate MiG Frost in the final. In the 2012 summer of champions, a renamed MiG Frost, azubu frost, won the title itself. Azubu Frost, along with NaJin Sword, represented South Korea at the League of Legends World Championships in October. The three-race annual competition soon became the norm for the league's calendar year, which now lasts three seasons in the winter, spring and summer. Azubu Frost and NaJin Sword clashed in the Champions League final in early 2013, with the latter prevailing. In the spring of 2013 and the summer of the 2013 champions, MVP Ozone and SK Telecom won T1 K. SK Telecom T1 K won the Season 3 World Championship that year, which made it the first team in the league. Az SK Telecom T1 K first team to successfully defend their title the following year, sweeping Samsung Galaxy Ozone in the final of the Champions Winter 2013-14 to cap an unbeaten race run. Ozone's sister team, Samsung Galaxy Blue, won champions spring 2014, but was beaten by Kt Rolster Arrows in the Champions League final. In October 2014, a drastic overhaul of the league's structure was announced. [4] League of Legends Champions was renamed League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) and the winter season was abolished in favour of spring split and summer split's annual racetrack. The format of the tournament, which consisted of a 16-team tournament with a group stage in a straight-out phase, was changed to a 10-team league that operates on a round-robin basis, and the top 5 teams qualified for the playoffs. Furthermore, organizations were prohibited from owning multiple teams - in particular, this change most affected KeSPA-affiliated teams, each of which operated two teams as part of a sister team system - forcing many organizations to merge or disband rosters. LCK era (2015-present) LCK spring 2015 the league operates in a new format and identity. The product of the previous year's merger between the newly minted SK Telecom T1, SK Telecom T1 K and SK Telecom T1 S swept through the calendar year by winning LCK spring 2015 and LCK Summer 2015. SK Telecom T1 retained its crown at LCK in the spring of 2016, which made it the first team in the history of the competition to win three consecutive titles. In the summer of 2016, the ROX Tigers ended, which became the second team to win the league since the restructuring. On April 22, 2017, SK Telecom won its sixth title in a T1 series by beating KT Rolster in the LCK Spring 2017 final. On August 26, 2017, Longzhu Gaming won its first title after beating spring winner SK Telecom T1. Longzhu Gaming was renamed Kingzone Dragonx after the 2017 World Cup and defended their title by beating the Afreeca Freecs in LCK 2018 Spring. Kt Rolster won the LCK Summer 2018 championship, beating Griffin in the final. SK Telecom T1 won the title at LCK Spring in 2019 after beating Griffin 3-0 in the final. This was the seventh LCK address of SK Telecom T1. On August 31, 2019, SK Telecom T1 again defeated Griffin 3–1 in the final. It was their eighth championship and their back-to-back LCK title in 2019.

    © Copyright by Matthew Jungsuk Howard May, 2018 ESPORT: PROFESSIONAL LEAGUE OF LEGENDS AS CULTURAL HISTORY _______________ A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Department of History University of Houston _______________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History _______________ By Matthew Jungsuk Howard May, 2018 ESPORT: PROFESSIONAL LEAGUE OF LEGENDS AS CULTURAL HISTORY _______________ An Abstract of a Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Department of History University of Houston _______________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History _______________ By Matthew Jungsuk Howard May, 2018 Abstract This thesis offers a preliminary cultural-historical investigation of professional League of Legends using Tygielian sport history methodology. League’s massive popularity brought esports greater visibility, and laid bare cultural-historical currents that explain the current historical moment. The game’s global nature, enabled by Web 2.0’s globalizing effects and breakneck speed, makes it a powerful lens for cultural-historical analysis. First, League confirmed South Korea’s status as the center of the esport world, and the state of the game reflects certain Korean cultural and economic cultural currents. Second, League’s pros go by usernames that they choose. These names follow naming traditions that are established across esports through gaming subculture, enabling the mapping of cultural connections through their cultural weight. Thirdly, League sheds light on the roots of sexism in geek and gaming culture, which manifests in the form of assumptions about women’s roles and abilities in-game. Finally, League’s community illustrates the problem of censorship that Web 2.0’s convenient distribution platforms and sharing culture have created.
