Lenovo‘s Legion of Champions Series III (LoC III) Grand Finals came to an end, with team Awe Star from Korea, holding the trophy up high as champions of the LoC. The annual eSports tournament, held recently in conjunction with Intel, pulled in an impressive crowd, bearing witness to the intense competition that unfolded over the last three days.
I’m proud to share that this is the third consecutive year that we have provided an excellent platform for the next generation of gamers to gather, compete and network with each other. It is also a chance for us to engage them and ensure that the Legion brand is evolving with their needs. Since the first edition of LoC in 2017, we have doubled the number of participating teams. The results have exceeded our wildest expectations and we look forward to taking esports to the next level in Asia Pacific.
