The stage is set in Europe for the highly anticipated League of Legends (LoL) Worlds 2024, where five Chinese teams are vying for the coveted championship title. These teams have impressed fans with their performances in the early stages, but their ultimate success will hinge on their ability to adapt to the evolving meta of the game.
After two intense days of competition, Chinese squads, alongside formidable teams from South Korea, Europe, and North America, have each secured at least one victory, ensuring their continued quest for the title. Among them, Blilibili Gaming (BLG) emerged as a frontrunner by dominating MAD Lions KOI on the first day. However, BLG faced a surprising setback when they were defeated by fellow Chinese team LNG Esports, losing a significant advantage in a crucial team fight. This loss sets the stage for BLG's next challenging match against the reigning champions, T1.
T1, while not as dominant as last year, have showcased remarkable resilience throughout the tournament, even after a comeback loss to Top Esports. The South Korean teams have already secured a spot in the quarterfinals, with Hanwha Life and Gen.G preparing for their clash.
The remaining Chinese teams are set to face tough European opponents, and PSG Talon from Chinese Taipei will take on FlyQuest from North America. With the competition heating up, fans around the world are eagerly watching to see if the Chinese squads can adapt and rise to the top.
