Ragnarok World Championship
Banner for Ragnarok World Championship 2013, the final RWC event.
The Ragnarok World Championship (RWC) was a series of international esport tournaments for the MMORPG Ragnarok Online from 2004 until 2013. It was organized by the game's South Korean developer GRAVITY, in partnership with various live service game publishers that managed each region's Ragnarok Online server. In the Philippines, the game was managed under Level Up!. The Philippines had participated in all of the events.
The series ended in 2013, due to the lack of funds from the official servers.

Event notes
- There were no world championships during 2005 and 2006.
