Weibo vs T1 was the most popular esports match in history and, in total, the Worlds 2023 was also the most popular esports event in history.

These were not the first records in this edition of the LoL World Cup. The semi-final between T1 and JDG was the most watched in history, while the quarter-final between T1 and LNG was also the most watched in history.

Repercussions of the Worlds 2023 final

To reach the title, T1 needed to beat all LPL teams in the tournament, a feat that kept T1 from ever losing World Cup playoffs to Chinese teams in the history of the competition.

The LoL community went crazy with Faker’s title, which was even praised by the VALORANT community.

In a press conference, T1 players have already chosen the champions who will receive the Worlds 2023 skins.
