JD Gaming outmuscle Top Esports in 5 games to win 2022 LPL Summer Split title

JD Gaming bested Top Esports today in yet another domestic final that went the distance between the two teams and claimed their second LPL title.

The two teams battled atop China’s premier League of Legends competition all split long and brought back similar cores from their first year-long bout in 2020 that saw them split that year’s titles, both in five-game fashion. But JDG prevailed over Top Esports in a best-of-five for the second time in a week, the first being a dramatic reverse sweep of the regular season summer champions.
