Chinese teams finished 17-8, while South Korean teams finished 14-4. That\u2019s far better than Europe\u2019s 9-10 and North America\u2019s anaemic 6-12.<\/p>\n<p>These disparities speak volumes about the different approaches to the nascent esports industry in these territories. Asian countries have been quick to invest resources and capital into esports, developing new talent every year.<\/p>\n<p>The results of this year\u2019s LoL Worlds 2020 group stage seem to validate this approach.

The team originally finished Group B in second place with a 2-1 record, losing their Winners&#8217; Match against OG 0-2. However, the tables turned in the playoffs, surprising <a href=\"\/counter-strike\/\" title=\"Counter-Strike betting\">CS:GO betting sites<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>FaZe managed to beat Team Vitality 2-0, and then went on to face OG again in the IEM New York Europe Grand Final.
