In the finals, SKT showed the strength gap with its opponents as before, and finally took away KOO 3:1 and won its second world championship.
2016 Achieve continuous hegemony and write a classic BO5 with ROX
SKT, which has won two world championships, has left a deep impression on the audience. In the S6 World Series, many people saw SKT’s name once more and mightn’t help but wonder: Is it possible for them to write Consecutive record? When facing RNG in the group stage and quarter-finals, SKT got through with ease. However, when facing ROX in the semi-finals, SKT faced a serious challenge for the first time that year. The huge pressure on the field even made them make mistakes in their BP process, and they actually released Nidalee. In that game, they played Bengi, who had never defeated Nidalee in the jungle this season. At a critical moment, Bengi chose to lock Nidalee and stepped up to help the team, allowing T1 to win the semi-finals. , once once more went to the finals to face SSG.

However, everything in the world will eventually come to an end, as will any dynasty. The combination of SKT and SSG in the 2017 finals was still SKT.

Even following entering the World Championship, they were not the best. They lost to the European team G2 once and stopped in the semi-finals.
