Playing in front of a 15,000 audience, the debuting Chinese team took away the Summoners Cup or the trophy of the championship that was revealed during the opening ceremony. The trophy was brought inside a custom-made and high-tech Louis Vuitton trunk.
Before the Cup was revealed, the event started off with a grand opening ceremony with several live performances. It also included the reveal of Riot Games’ latest attempt at creating an incredible live augmented reality concert with a new in-game musical group called True Damage.
