The Road of the Kings tournament has come to an end, with World Elite walking as the champions.
(Wuhan, China) - Over the past weekend, eight teams battled in a unique team format for a top prize of $10,000. The format seemed like a basic NGL-ONE style king of the hill, however, team managers had various wild cards at their disposal, all of which had their own purpose, adding a twist to every match.

Half the field was eliminated in the group stage, which was followed immediately by a single-elimination bracket. World Elite took down MYM 5-2 with some amazing play by TeD, who would go on to become the MVP of the tournament. SK Gaming overcame the new fnatic squad with a 5-3 score to send them to the Grand Final with WE. Once there, all eyes were on TeD as he won four straight matches before finally succumbing to SoJu. The Korean Night Elf gave it his best effort, tying up the score 4-4 heading into the final match. He would be defeated by Like however, to give World Elite the title.

MYM took out fnatic in the Consolation Final to secure third place.

1. China World Elite - $10,000
2. South Korea SK Gaming - $4,000
3. South Korea Meet Your Makers - $2,000
4. South Korea Fnatic - $1,000
5-8. Germany Mousesports - $500
5-8. China Beijing E-Sports Team - $500
5-8. China Colorful - $500
5-8. China wisdom Nerve victory - $500
