Complete History of LCS Champions: Winning Teams and Players

The League of Legends Champions Series (LCS) has been a significant part of Riot Games’ esports offerings for over a decade. Below, you’ll find a comprehensive list of every player and team that has secured an LCS title.

Numerous players have claimed the title of LCS Champion, but only a select few have earned this distinction multiple times. Throughout its history, the league has witnessed the rise and fall of dynasties, disappointing favorites, and remarkable underdog successes.

The league’s format has evolved several times since its inception in 2013, continuously offering substantial prize pools and qualifications for prestigious events like the League of Legends World Championship and the Mid-Season Invitational. The annual structure includes two splits: the Spring Split and the Summer Split, each culminating in playoff stages to determine the champion.

While many champions hail from North America, the importation of players since 2014 has allowed talent from Europe, China, and South Korea to participate. To date, eight different organizations have claimed LCS championships, with only Cloud9, TSM, CLG, and Team Liquid achieving multiple wins.

As the LCS undergoes changes, including the reduction of teams and a transition to a new league format, FlyQuest emerges as the potential final champion of the LCS era.
