The Pacers, seeded #1 in the tournament, took the title and, along with CSU, advanced to the College League of Legends national playoffs.

The Pacers were unblemished in three matches at the tournament, opening with a 2-0 win over Young Harris in the quarterfinals and following that with a 2-0 win over Augusta in the semifinals.

Columbus State was making their first appearance in the LoL Championship match.

The event was held in the Abney Cultural Center Auditorium at Lander University.

USC Aiken and Columbus State also learned their opponents in the upcoming College Championship. Currently, 16 teams remain competing for the remaining four spots in the national finals, which will be held in Los Angeles in late May.

USC Aiken and CSU will each play the other seven teams in their pools. The two teams that win the pools will advance to the finals. The 2nd and 3rd- place teams in each pool will play one best-of-five match for the remaining two spots.

Columbus State will begin pool play against the University of Texas while USC Aiken faces N.C. State.
