YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"Hundreds of hours of gameplay came down to a scant ninety minutes last night as Korea's SK Telecom T1 took down China's Royal Club to secure their first League of Legends World Championship and a million dollar first prize provided by Riot Games.

Starting at 8 PDT, the event was more or less wrapped by midnight, but actual gameplay only consisted of three thirty minute matches which were almost entirely dominated by SKT T1, surprising, given how China's Royal Club had performed in the rest of the tournament."* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.
