Betting on LoL Worlds 2024: Updates
LoL Worlds updates delivered to you by League esports writer Lee Jones.
November 3 – T1 and Faker claim a fifth World Championship
Faker and his beloved T1 have won a record-extending fifth World Championship title. The League of Legends GOAT, whose career is now being compared to those of the greatest traditional sportsman, was in inspired form, particularly in the latter stages of the series, and led his team at such a level that there was little BLG could have done any better to have beaten the Korean favourites.
The curtains are now drawn on Worlds 2024, and thus ends our live coverage. We’ll see you next year, perhaps celebrating yet another Summoner’s Cup title for the Unkillable Demon King.
November 2 – THE FINAL IS HEREÂ
The fans are waiting. The teams are here. T1 and Bilibili Gaming are about to play the 2024 World Championship final.
T1’s Worlds aura has seen them reach this stage against all odds, while the dominant BLG may be the one side that won’t be so easily fazed on the biggest stage.
October 27 – Bilibili and T1 reach the final
We have our Worlds 2024 finalists. Read our BLG vs T1 predictions piece for betting insights into this epic grand final.
The first semi-final between Bilibili Gaming and Weibo Gaming went more or less as planned – BLG dominating and looking comfortable in their 3-0 sweep.
T1’s 3-1 victory over Gen.G was much less expected. Gen.G were tournament favourites and had beaten T1 in their last 10 meetings, but Faker and co. found their Worlds buff to win the series and reach their third successive World Championship final.

October 25 – Semi-finals loom
Worlds 2024 is down to its final four; a quartet set to compete in this weekend’s semi-final, best-of-five matches.
On Saturday, an all-Chinese clash will see the Weibo Gaming, who has gained momentum throughout the tournament, take on back-to-back LPL champions Bilibili Gaming – one of the favourites before the event.
On Sunday, an all-Korean affair will see the LCK heavyweights and MSI-holders Gen.G take on four-time World Champions, Worlds 2023 winners T1.
October 20 – top four confirmed
In a win over FluQuest, Korean second seed Gen.G became the final team to secure a semi-final spot at Worlds 2024. In what was expected to be a quick 3-0, North America’s first seed threw a spanner in the works by stunning the LoLEsports world with a dominant opening map victory.
Gen.G came back in game three, but another shock win for FLY afterwards put them on the brink of completing the biggest upset in League of Legends history. However, sadly it was not to be. Korean heavyweights GEN got things back on track to take the final two maps and eke out a 3-2 victory.
October 19 – T1’s Worlds buff appears
Like so many times before, Faker and T1 appear to be growing into form at the World Championship despite failing to show elite performances through much of the season.ç
The Korean side was dominant in their quarter-final win against Top Esports, dismantling the Chinese team in a 3-0 to book their spot in the semi-finals. The win means that Faker and T1 have now reached the top four in every single one of their nine World Championship attendances.
October 18 – the best series so far
The quarter-final matchup between respective LCK and LPL first seeds Hanwha Life Esports and Bilibili Gaming offered up the most entertaining series at the tournament so far.
Extremely bloody, back-and-forth games saw sides win teamfight after teamfight in what was a four-game series wherein every map could’ve easily swung in either team’s favour.
It was ultimately the LPL winners BLG who came out on top with a 3-1 win, eliminating HLE in the tragically cut-throat single-elimination bracket to set up a semi-final clash against Weibo Gaming next weekend.
October 17 – Weibo upsets LNG
An all-LPL quarter-finals opener saw underperforming underdogs Weibo Gaming stun the in-form LNG Esports, sending their fellow Chinese side home in a 3-1 win.
Despite question marks over his form this year, legendary WBG mid laner Xiaohu played an incredible series in which he became the player with the second-most Worlds wins and second-most international kills of all time.
October 15th – Swiss concludes, eyes on quarter-finals
Three more days of Swiss saw the final qualifiers make it through, locking in the eight teams of the knockout stage.
Chinese sides Weibo Gaming and Bilibili Gaming made it through with respective 2-1 victories over Dplus KIA and G2 Esports, ensuring that all present LPL teams have made it to the quarters. NA’s FlyQuest was the final team to qualify, doing so in a repeat of the LCS summer final against Team Liquid.
Quarter-finals draw:
- 17/10 – LNG vs WBG
- 18/10 – HLE vs BLG
- 19/10 – TES vs T1
- 20/10 – GEN vs FLY
October 11th – T1 qualify, BLG survive
T1 has become the latest side to reach the quarter-finals in Paris, while BLG staved off elimination.
The Worlds holders made their way through by comfortably beating LEC first seed G2. The Koreans made light work of the Europeans in a 2-0 win.
BLG also found their tie relatively straightforward and gained a 2-0 victory. BLG stayed in the tournament by beating PSG Talon in a series that featured a highlight game two Jayce display by Knight.
October 10th – TOP and HLE qualify
Top Esports and Hanwha Life Esports have booked their places in the Worlds 2024 knockouts.
China’s TOP earned their spot in a routine 2-0 win against the flawed Dplus KIA, led by their superstar bot lane duo of JackeyLove and Meiko.
For HLE, they were made to work for their win with a close series against NA’s FlyQuest in which the were a number of points where it looked like they might’ve ended up on the losing side.
October 7th – MDK and PNG eliminated
MAD Lions KOI and paiN Gaming became the first teams eliminated from the Swiss stage, knocked out by GAM Esports and Team Liquid respectively.
MDK opened their series with a win, but completely crumbled in successive defeats to see Vietnam’s GAM send them packing. The inquest into MDK’s capitulation has already started, though it must be emphasized that 4/5 players were rookies at the tier-one level this year.
PaiN put up a decent fight against TL but was ultimately just not good enough to beat the NA side. Their heads can remain high having been the first BR team to reach this far in eight years.
October 6th – First West vs East upset
G2’s win against the LPL’s Weibo Gaming has provided the first West vs East upset at Worlds 2024. More will be needed if a Western side hopes to reach the quarter-finals, though G2 are always the most likely to make it.
Already facing elimination, the likes of Team Liquid and MAD Lions KOI now only have one favourable elimination matchup before they’ll likely face Eastern opposition for survivial.
Tomorrow’s elimination series:
- MDK vs GAM
- PNG vs TL
October 6th – BO1s continue
