  1. Champion selection - the first picks and bans of the daypublished at 17:27

    Game 1 - SKT vs AHQ

    SK Telecom (blue side)

    Bans: Jinx, Fizz, Mordekaiser

    Picks: Elise, Tristana, Lulu, Fiora, Alistar

    ahq e-Sports Club (red side)

    Bans: Azir, Gangplank, Ryze

    Picks: Thresh, Kalista, Diana, Rek'Sai, Darius

    Fiora and Lulu picked up as flex picks, we'll see where they land when the players swap their picks after the picking phase. Faker is not typically a "Support" type mid laner which Lulu would fall under.

    Fizz gets respect banned against Westdoor as his signature champion.

    Azir is banned out, Westdoor does not play or like to play against it.

    SK Telecom average the second fastest average game time at Worlds of any team so far; when they win they win fast and today is likely to be no different.

    Whoever wins today will lose to Origen in the semis. Fnatic will go all the way and win the Worlds though. They'll become the first team to win two world championships.

  10. Day Two - who's playing?published at 17:05

    SK Telecom 1 (Korea) Vs AHQ e-Sports Club (Taiwan)

    The Koreans have long been known as the kings of eSports, dominating almost every competitive gaming scene they put their mind to it. SK Telecom 1 is no different. They are Korea's number one team - which is no small feat considering the strength of the competition over there. So far at Worlds, they have not lost a single game.

    SK Telecom 1 return with 2013 World Champions Bengi and Faker in the jungle and mid lane respectively. While Faker is widely considered to be the best player in the world, it's possible they will not even choose him today and instead use Easyhoon, their substitute mid laner. Don't underestimate Easyhoon, he is in no way under Faker's shadow and with his alternate play style and consistent performance, Easyhoon has been the mid laner of choice in many of SK Telecom' 1's games.

    Will Faker play?

     So SK Telecom 1 should be in the finals right? Not if AHQ e-Sports Club have anything to do with it. Taiwan are no strangers to a World Championship title, in 2012 Taipai Assassins won Worlds and AHQ will be trying to follow in their footsteps. The main face of AHQ is Westdoor, an amazing player in his own right but when it comes to securing the wins it's all about getting their Marksman AN ahead however, that won't be easy against SK Telecom 1's Bang and Wolf.

  16. What happened on Day One?published at 16:42 BST 16 October 2015

    If you missed it or just want a refresher, we've got you covered.

    Yesterday Europe's Origen took on Taiwan's Flash Wolves in an intense best of 5. The series was incredibly close which almost every game swinging back and forth between the two teams. Origen took a strong early hold securing two wins but just barely as the Flash Wolves were poised to take Game 2 but let their hold over the game slip long enough for Origen to mount a counter offensive.

    Game 3 commenced and the Flash Wolves, unfazed by the two previous defeats, once again gained control but this time did not give Origen room to recover, sealing the deal and putting themselves on the board with a win.

    Origen decided they would go for the late game and stall the game out as long as possible so their champion picks could shine. Origen did just that and the Flash Wolves had no come back ending the series 3:1 to Origen.
