DKG becomes the first team to qualify for Wild Rift Worlds 2021

Leo Faria, the head of Wild Rift esports, revealed in July 2021 that Riot Games want to build a new esports ecosystem for League of Legends: Wild Rift that is self-sustaining and independent of LoL Esports on PC.

In addition to this, he also confirmed that there will be a Wild Rift World Championship by the end of 2021 with the winners from different regional tournaments qualifying.

DKG aka Da Kun Gaming from China became the first team to qualify for Wild Rift Worlds 2021 by winning the Spark Invitational Grand Finals after beating Team For Champion by 4-1. In addition to this, DKG lost only two games in the entire tournament making them a strong contender for the trophy at World Championship.

Definitely deserved as they hammered almost everyone.
