LCK 2020 Overview
The 2020 LCK season marked a turning point in Korean League of Legends, highlighted by the rise of 
DAMWON Gaming as a dominant force. While 
T1 claimed the Spring title, DAMWON’s overwhelming Summer performance signaled the beginning of a new era that would culminate in a World Championship victory later that year.
