Undoubtedly, World Elite had the hardest group and play-off phase. Despite the circumstances, they went undefeated until the upper bracket final, beating Dynamic , Azubu Blaze, fnatic , Moscow Five , Counter Logic Gaming EU and once again, fnatic along the way. Jingxi 'Misaya' Yu and the lads dropped only two games in total throughout the tournament and definitely deserved the championship title.

fnatic made their comeback into the highest echelon of professional League of Legends with some excellent plays at IPL5.
