This 2019 witnessed the first and second season of Latin America League of League of Legends, also known as “Liga Movistar Latinoamérica” for sponsorship reasons, featured by a fully unified group of amazing and talented esports professionals.

This LLA 2019 Closing Season that anticipates the final Playoffs beginning this Saturday saw the victory of Isurus Gaming.

The experience

Participants from all the countries of South America came by in an event organized by Riot Games but sponsored by the important telephone company Movistar, yet the countries most represented by the contending gamer´s, according to the origin of the teams were:

Mexico: represented by the teams Pixel Esports, Rainbow7, and XTEN Esports.
Argentina: with Furious Gaming and Isurus Gaming (champions of the opening season).
Chile: through the Allo Knights and the mixed team Kaos Latin Gamers.

Besides, the Esports Infinito team was also part of the tournament.

The format of the LLA tournament consists of a triple Round Robin model, where they faced each of the teams on multiple occasions, accumulating a score based on the following parameters: Percentage of games won, Head-to-head record and Alphabetical order.

And the results wasted no time in being shown! After each team accumulated a total of 21 matches Isurus Gaming took things where they left off, being the highest ranked, followed by All Knights in the second place, and moving down to Furious Gaming, Esports Infinito, Rainbow7 and Xten Esports.
