All LCS champions in history: Winning players and teams

Robert Paul/Riot Games

The League of Legends Champions Series has been around for a decade at this point, and it’s one of Riot Games’ most prominent leagues. Here is a breakdown of every player and team that has won an LCS title.

Many players have gone down as LCS Champions, though only some have achieved that status multiple times. The league has seen dynasties come and go, favorites fall flat, and underdog stories take shape.

The format for the league has changed many times since 2013, but it continues to offer a generous prize pool and slots at the League of Legends World Championship and the Mid-Season Invitational. There are two seasons per year, the Spring Split and the Summer Split, each followed by a playoff stage to crown a champion.

While many LCS Champions have come from North America, the introduction of import players in 2014 has opened the doors to talent from other regions, like Europe, China and South Korea. Eight different organizations have won trophies in the LCS’s history, with Cloud9, TSM, CLG and Team Liquid the only ones to have done it multiple times.

And, with the LCS cutting two teams and converting into a different league entirely. FlyQuest is the team that stands at the end of what could be the last LCS split ever.

Who has won the most LCS trophies?

Doublelift has won LCS titles under three different organizations

The LCS has been dominated by two names almost since the start of the league: Yiliang ‘Doublelift’ Peng and Søren ‘Bjergsen’ Bjerg. Both players have secured multiple titles, with Doublelift winning eight to Bjergsen’s six. The North American AD Carry lifted trophies with three different teams (CLG, TSM and Team Liquid), while the Danish mid laner did it exclusively with TSM.

Doublelift is still competing, playing for 100 Thieves, while Bjergsen announced on April 7, 2023, his retirement from competition.

Over the years, several players have swapped roles in the Summoner’s Rift, though there are only two cases of players who have won the LCS in different roles. Choi ‘huhi’ Jae-hyun has lifted trophies as a mid laner and support, while Jesper ‘Zven’ Svenningsen has done it as an AD Carry and support.

A total of 54 different players have won the LCS since the first split. Team Liquid added three players to the list with their win over FlyQuest to kick off 2024, with APA, Yeon, and UmTi adding themselves to the list.
