The League of Legends finals. IMEF Srl dominates and wins its third title: Los Locos swept 3-0.

The verdict is clear, a complete triumph: Imef Srl confirms its position as the League of Legends champion, lifting the trophy for the third time in its history. In the packed and vibrant Barano Sports Center, the reigning champions defeated Los Locos 3-0, capping an already extraordinary season with a textbook final. A tense first half, a resounding second half, rock-solid defense, and a Saurino team in commanding form: the recipe for a victory that will live on in the memories of fans and opponents alike.

The fifth edition of the tournament, conceived and organized by Giovanni Di Costanzo, concluded with a flourish for the team that has written the competition's most important chapters in recent years. At the Stadio Centrale of the Barano Sports Center, under the lights that still evoke the memory of a memorable season, Imef Srl added a new chapter to its history. With a resounding 3-0 victory over Los Locos, the team secured their third career title, reaffirming their status as a tournament powerhouse. It was a final of contrasts, with a tense and tactical first half, in which it seemed Los Locos had what it took to shake the reigning champions, and a thrilling second half, which transformed the tension into jubilation.

The break came from Gianluca Saurino, a relentless center and man of the finals, who capitalized on a mistake by Guido Testa to strike a lightning-fast shot past De Felice. The goal shook the match, and just a minute later, Saurino struck again, finishing off Ciro Mattera's recovery, who provided a precise pass like a compass pass.

From there, Los Locos attempted to reopen the match, but Imef's defense was an impenetrable wall. Alessio Manieri, a silent leader with impeccable understanding of the situation, directed the defense with authority, choking off every attacking attempt. Whenever a chance did open, Raffaele Arcamone, a goalkeeper capable of saves that were as valuable as goals, sealed it, confirming his status as one of the competition's best goalkeepers.

At the end, with the fans' chants already ready to explode, Saurino changed his style and, instead of going for a hat trick, he served a perfect pass to Ciro Mattera for the final 3-0. It was the signature touch that put the exclamation point on a night that will go down in the annals of League of Legends.

The awards ceremony celebrated the season's champions and protagonists. Imef Srl received the first-place trophy, Los Locos took silver, and La Lucciola was crowned Winter Champion. On an individual level, Saurino swept the board: the Haaland Award for top scorer with 29 goals and the Puskas Award for the most beautiful goal.

Guido Testa won the Ballon d'Or, Gianni Aloi the Maldini Award for defensive solidity, Simone De Felice the Buffon Award, Vincenzo Mattera the Critics' Award, Raffaele Arcamone the Vicario Award, Michele Castagna the Guardiola Award, Alessio Manieri the D10 Award, Federico Seprano the Kvara Award and Salvatore Di Maio the Ciccio Caputo Award.
