About this chart race
The first two World Championships went outside Korea — Europe's Fnatic won the inaugural 2011 event and Taiwan's Taipei Assassins took the 2012 crown. From 2013 onward, the trophy rarely left Korea.
SK Telecom T1 — now simply T1 — became the sport's defining dynasty. The organisation won in 2013, 2015 and 2016, then rebuilt and won again in 2023, 2024 and 2025, becoming the first team ever to take three in a row. That is six titles in all; no other team in Worlds history has won more than one.
The rest of the chart is a list of one-time champions. China provided the only sustained counter to Korea, through Invictus Gaming (2018), FunPlus Phoenix (2019) and Edward Gaming (2021), while the Samsung sides, DAMWON Gaming and DRX account for the other Korean victories.
This animated ranking shows how cumulative worlds championships changed across 10 series between 2011 and 2025. The bars re-order themselves as the years advance, so overtakes are visible as they happen rather than hidden inside a table. Use the list on the left to choose exactly who competes, drag the slider to jump to any year, or open the table view to read the underlying numbers.
As of 2025, T1 leads with 6 titles.
