League of Legends Worlds is coming up on its 15th World Championship this Sunday and South Korea’s biggest esports icon has dominated from the start.

Faker, a five-time world champion, seeks to complete a three-peat and add to his nearly indisputable GOAT case.

[Riot Games @riotgames]

We’re running it back-to-school with @DonorsChoose.

For the third year, Riot is matching donations to support teachers bringing gaming and esports into the classrooms, as well as fully funding all gaming projects from rural schools on the platform.

[Riot Games @riotgames]

That brings us to $23M+ raised for the Riot Games Social Impact Fund through all of VALORANT’s Give Back Bundles since the first one in 2021! 🎉

[LoL Esports @lolesports]

Thank you for being part of #Worlds2024 and helping us achieve our highest total viewership since 2021 and an all-time high record for viewership outside of China!

[League of Legends @LeagueOfLegends]

OVER $3M CONTRIBUTED?! Now that’s a birthday celebration 🙌 Thanks for sharing Player Days (and 15 years of League) with us – here’s to 15 more 🎉

[Riot Games @riotgames]

We’re teaming up for the second year with @DonorsChoose to support teachers across the country in bringing gaming and esports into the classroom: https://t.co/xcaFNVnFM8

Last year's campaign helped 329 teachers and more than 8,800 students. Some of them even sent us a few letters. We're absolutely hanging the pictures of Jinx and Raze on our office fridge.

[DonorsChoose @DonorsChoose]

Thanks to the support of @RiotGames, over 320 teachers are bringing game design, STEM lessons, and esports resources to the classroom! We are thrilled to see teachers inspiring the next generation of game developers, designers and esports professionals. https://t.co/8Fw9a49GdO

To celebrate Riotling Day, we asked Rioters to take feedback from the harshest critics we could find: their kids.

Thanks @awscloud for teaming up with us to make it happen!

One of Zhuo Ding’s League of Legends nicknames is “Golden Left Hand."

He'll need every ounce of that fist to land the knockout punch against his idol.

@BrownieAthletic on Knight, Faker and a grand slam chance.
