The League of Legends World Championship (Worlds 2021) prized Summoner’s Cup has been a part of the game’s esports scene for years now. The trophy is presented to the winning team, which marks the end of the month-long competition.
This year, the Summoner’s Cup will be accompanied by a new item — championship rings.
