SINGAPORE, July 9 (Xinhua) -- China's Nova Esports swept J-Team 4-0 in the grand final to win the inaugural Wild Rift Icons Global Championship (Icons) at the Suntec Convention and Exhibition Center here on Saturday.

Recovering from a sluggish start to beat J-Team in the opening game, Nova demonstrated their dominance in the following games and claimed a convincing 4-0 win. Jungler An "Long" Xulong was named FMVP.

"I think now I can say I'm the best jungler in the world and I hope to practice more and become even stronger in the future," An said.
