Players and fans alike gathered at Madison Square Garden for the first semifinal match of the 2016 League of Legends World Championship. Although New York was unusually cold for this time of year, it was not enough to stifle the warm energy emanating from the event.

Despite the absence of a Western team, the Garden was full of fans enthusiastic to witness the epic clash between the two best teams in the world. Defending world champions SKT faced off against reigning LCK champions ROX in perhaps the greatest Bo5 in League of Legends history.
