UK-based League of Legends squad Misfits Academy has secured the win in Riot's Forge of Champions tournament. The team, which features three brits (including one named after seminal London trancecore band Enter Shikari) fought hard against Diabolous in a best of five match, winning 3-2. Misfits have earned a spot in the EU Masters, as well as the lion's share of the £50,000 prize pool. The inaugural Forge of Champions is the first UK League of Legends tournament hosted by Riot Games, representing the firm's biggest commitment to the UK esports scene to date. Riot had been involved with League of Legends tournaments hosted by ESL. Although Misfits were favourites to take the trophy home, it was by no means an easy victory. Diabolous proved strong opposition, winning two rounds of the best of five match, after Misfits cruised the first two. Misfit's top laner Shikari led the charge throughout, creating numerous opportunities for Misfits to outplay their opponents. In the end it was young support player Prosfair that led the squad to victory, taking on shot-calling duties in the deciding round.
