Summary

  • KOO Tigers through to the Semi-Finals

  • Expert text commentary by Richard 'Pulse' Kam

  1. That's it for the Quarter-Finals!published at 18:30

    Which means that's it from us for this year's championship

    So the Semi-Finalists have been confirmed and four teams are officially out of this year's tournament.

    This has been our first foray into esports coverage, and we really hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for joining us and sending us your messages - it wouldn't have been the same without you.

    So for the final time - it's goodbye from Dev, James, Leigh, Richard, Julia and the rest of the team here at BBC Three and BBC Sports.

    If you'd like to let us know what you thought of the coverage, please get in touch by - yes, you guessed it - sending us a comment using the hashtag #bbcesports.

    Now, hand us a mechanical keyboard and a mouse. (We've got to celebrate somehow...)

  2. Ever wondered what the championship HQ smells like?published at 18:25

    That's almost it for us here at Wembley, but before we go, take a sneaky peek backstage with Julia Hardy to find out how the live feed from the teams' computers are mixed up and perfectly produced for an international audience to enjoy.

  3. A home crowd advantage?published at 18:24

    Two European teams and two Korean teams remain; the European teams have shown up at Worlds this year, while the games have been played in their home turf. Fnatic and Origen are the EU hopes to take the World Championship title, but SK Telecom are still in the running and still look almost unstoppable.

  5. Koo Tigers will go to the Semi-Finalspublished at 18:15

    We're glad you didn't make that bet, Adam!

    Koo Tigers will be facing Fnatic in Brussels. The last time these teams met, KT got the better of them. This time, KOO showed they are the stronger team at the 2015 World Championships.

    Using their Baron buff, Koo Tigers walk down to the bottom lane and while Smeb baits the entire KT line up toward him, KOO take the bottom inhibitor.

     KT tries to go for Baron after a kill. Kuro teleports in and brings the damage KOO need. 

    Koo Tigers play out the fight perfectly, zone away Arrow and take Baron.

    KOO take the Baron, quickly followed by a dragon.

  15. Snake in the grasspublished at 17:50

    3 for 1 advantage to KT Rolster

    KT take a fight bot lane with a fantastic engage by Score. Kuro tries to make a play at the end of the fight but Nagne blasts him with Cassiopeia

  16. Cassiopeia, the Serpent's Embracepublished at 17:47

    Richard 'Pulse' Kam
    eSports Caster

    In her lore, Cassiopeia searches for the ancient ruins of Shurima, an ancient fallen empire. She betrays her companions who hold the key to the inner sanctums, murdering them in cold blood. But as soon as she attempted to open the doors, a giant stone snake comes to life and pinned her down, transforming her into a Medusa-like creature.

    Lore aside, Cassiopeia doesn't see much play nowadays as she is a risky pick. With very low mobility and being generally squishy, if Cassiopeia's player puts one step wrong she could die almost instantly. However she is what we call a Glass Cannon, which is as the name suggests; fragile but can dish out a lot of pain.

    Cassiopeia's ultimate 'Petrifying Gaze' turns all enemies facing her to stone and can be a game turner.

  20. Champion selectionpublished at 17:35

    Game 4 - Koo Tigers vs KT Rolster

    Koo Tigers (blue side)

    Bans: Azir, Lulu, MordekaiserPicks: Elise, Fiora, Alistar, Caitlyn, Viktor

    KT Rolster (red side)

    Bans: Tahm Kench, Veigar, GangplankPicks: Darius, Shen, Gragas, Jinx, Cassiopeia

    KT once again pick Darius leaving open the Fiora despite how many issues it caused for them.

    KT have more damage this game and can hold their own individually

    KT Final pick Cassiopeia, a rare champion to see currently - and the first time she's been seen during the Championship. Is this KT's secret weapon?

    In a move that will seriously upset the internet, Kench has been banned. If this does end up being the last game, the Kench will not be unbenched again during this Quarter-Finals.
