Worlds 2016 is the sixth League of Legends tournament of the World Championship series. It took place in the USA in four cities: the group stage in San Francisco, the quarterfinals in Chicago, the semifinals in New York and the grand finale in Los Angeles. The prize fund was initially $2 million, but it was increased to $6.7 million with crowdfunding.
The champion of the tournament became the last year's winner — SK Telecom T1, thereby becoming the first team in the history of League of Legends, which became the champion twice in a row and three times in total. The MVP of the tournament was called the legendary mid lane player of SK Telecom T1 — Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok.
