In the final match the Saint Louis Arch Bishops, led by GM Wesley So, were victorious against the Norway Gnomes, led by Magnus Carlsen. In the second season of the league, the Final Four teams got together in what was the first ever live e-sports chess event. The Armenia Eagles won the title in a thrilling final match. The third and most recent season saw the powerhouse Saint Louis Arch Bishops reclaim the title, defeating the Baden-Baden Snowballs in a finals held once again live in San Francisco.
