earthpressnews

In one week, on September 25, 2024, the League of Legends World Championship begins. The 20 participating teams have already been determined. But who will win the LoL Worlds 2024? We look at the bookmakers’ odds and see: There are 2 favorites. Their mid laners have been considered the next big superstars for years, but have so far disappointed at the Worlds.

This is how the Worlds work: The Worlds will take place in 2024 in various European countries, including Germany.

The World Cup begins on September 25th with a preliminary round in which 8 teams compete against each other. 4 advance. The matches are best-of-3.

After that, there is a group phase with 16 teams. Here, 8 teams are selected to continue playing. In the group phase, 3 games are played per match.

Then the knockout games in the best-of-5 format begin. The final will be played in London. The winner will be determined on November 2nd and can look forward to $450,000 in prize money.

The legend “Faker” is not a favorite to win the LoL Worlds in 2024, but only in the extended circle of favorites:

Both favorites have midlaners who are hungry for success

Who are the favorites to win the LoL Worlds 2024? The bookmakers see two teams tied: the winner of the Chinese league LPL and the runners-up of the South Korean league LCK.

Bilibili Gaming may not be such a big name, but they have grown enormously in recent years and dominate China. The star here is midlaner Knight (24), who used to play for TopEsports. Knight has been predicted to have an international breakthrough for years. But it has always eluded him so far.

Knight and top laner Bin were selected to the LPL All-Star team this year. Supporter ON made it to the second team.

Bilibi Gaming won the league clearly in the summer of 2024. In the playoffs, they only lost one game against TopEsports, winning cleanly with 3-0, 3-1, 3-0. It is clear that the Chinese are considered favorites with odds of 1:3.75.

Knight and Chovy – LoL Worlds 2024 could make one of them the next big star of LoL:

The second favorite team to win the LoL Worlds is Gen G. from South Korea. All 5 players of the team were voted into the league’s “All Pro Team”, that’s how dominant Gen G. is in South Korea.

Midlaner Chovy (23), known as “Our Lord and Savior,” took home the MVP crown. The young botlaner Peyz (18) won the Player of the Summer Split award. Coach KIM is considered the best coach in the league.

Even though Gen G. is nominally so strong, they were unable to win the LCK 2024 league. Hanwha Life managed that. Nevertheless, Gen G., along with Bilibi Gaming, are the bookmakers’ favorites to win the LoL Worlds 2024. They are also given odds of 1:3.75.

The 8 teams from Asia are also the 8 strongest teams at the LoL Worlds

Who are the extended favorites? All other teams in the extended group of favorites are from Asia:

  • In third place is Hanwha Life Esports, the surprise winners of the LCK. With odds of 1:4.75, they are just behind the favorites.
  • Top Esports is in fourth place, China’s second hope. They are given a score of 1:7.
  • Faker and T1 only make it to 5th place – if you bet one euro on them, you get 9 back.
    • Europe’s hopes rest on him – but they have been resting there for six years now.

    Where to see the European teams? Far behind. The bookmakers rank the Europeans from G2 weaker than all teams from Asia:

  • Caps and his men only come in 9th place with odds of 1:29.
  • Then you see 2 US teams, FlyQuest and Team Liquid with odds of 1:41.
  • Fnatic is only given a chance of 1:51.
  • The Mad Lions Koi and the 100 Thieves are far behind with odds of around 1:91 and 1:101.

    • 5 Swedes are taking part in the Worlds – and only one German

    Will a German also play at the LoL Worlds 2024? While South Korea has 37 players in the running at Worlds, China 16, Vietnam 10, Sweden 5 and the USA at least 4, only one German is taking part in Worlds: BrokenBlade plays for G2 in the top lane.

    Can Chovy or Knight finally replace Faker?

    These are the open questions at the LoL Worlds: Once again it comes down to a duel between the mid laners.

    The two favorites, Knight and Chovy, have been considered “the next big superstar of LoL” for years now – but neither of them has been able to win anything worthwhile so far.

    Even though they are only 4 and 5 years younger than Faker, they belong to a different generation. After all, Faker won his first world championship in 2013 when he was just 17 years old.

    Chovy and Knight are hungry for success. This is about becoming the next big face of LoL and e-sports.

    In the last two years, the “favorite of hearts” T1 won once and an absolute outsider DRX won once. If the pattern continues, 2024 could be the hour of Hanwha Life, who pulled off a surprise in the LCK.

    Faker and T1 should not be written off either, as they have the experience to win even under pressure.

    From the West’s perspective, things have been looking bleak for years. 2020 was the last year in which a European team was really competitive: Maybe G2 Esports can surprise one of the weaker teams from Asia, but there is little to suggest that a team from the West will play a role in the semifinals.
