Taipei Assassins win League of Legends Season 2 championships
Taiwanese team beats out Korean team Azubu Frost to claim the $1 million prize money.
The winning team for the multi-million dollar League of Legends Season 2 championship finals has been decided: the Taipei Assassins.
The Taiwanese team defeated Korean team Azubu Frost, earning them the title of Season 2 world champions and $1 million in prize money in a bout of four matches. Azubu Frost won the first game before they lost the remaining three matches.
The final match between the two teams was using a LAN client that developer Riot Games made for the MOBA title. Azubu Frost was fined $30,000 by Riot Games for unsportsmanlike conduct during the Season 2 playoffs.
The tournament was held at the Galen Center Arena at the University of Southern California. The event's 10,000 seats were sold out, and more than 900,000 tuned in to the live stream of the finals. For a replay of the finals, check out the Twitch.tv link.
Born and raised from a jungle-laden village in Sarawak, Malaysia, Jonathan Toyad has been playing games since the early 90s. He favors fighting games, RPGs, and rhythm titles above every other genre, and occasionally spaces out like Pavlov's dog to video game music on his iPod.
Don't asians do anything else other than playing video games? No offence but what the heck....?

Saying "no offence" doesnt make it any less offensive .

Stereotype, stereotype, stereotype. Come live in the city. You'll be surprised what kinda party animals they actually are.
Don't forget half of the world's population is Asian, there can be many gamers, but there are also many night lifers - they just don't really get aired on TV for you know...partying.
A few of those need to spend more time clicking their mouse button and less time clicking the buttons on vending machines.
bebe owned azubu frost lol
Toyz brings the noyz.
More E-Sports haters incoming !
Glad those cheating Koreans lost!
Darnasian Yeah they should of been disqualified,no place for cheating in any sport.
