Betting on LoL Worlds: Updates
LoL Worlds updates delivered to you by League esports writer Lee Jones.
NOV. 19 – T1 ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS
T1 has won the 2023 World Championship, a historic fourth Worlds title for the organisation and star mid laner Faker.
The second-fastest Worlds final of all time, T1 dismantled LPL opponents Weibo Gaming in an easy 3-0 victory. Top laner Zeus shone brightest on the day, taking advantage of the lackluster TheShy to earn an impressive 16/4/17 KDA and win the finals MVP award.
For Faker, it’s an unmatched fourth Worlds title – seven years on from his last win and a staggering 10 years after his first.
NOV. 18 – ONE MORE SLEEP
Less than 24 hours remain before T1 and Weibo Gaming take the stage for the 2023 World Championship final. Today’s fan fest in Seoul, which saw performances from numerous artists linked to the League of Legends universe, marked the beginning of the end for this year’s tournament, and now just one final series is to be played to determine who will lift the Summoner’s Cup.
NOV. 16 – WEIBO PICKS BLUE SIDE
Weibo Gaming has won the coin toss ahead of the Worlds 2023 grand final, granting them side selection for game one against T1. The LPL fourth seed subsequently picked blue side for the opening match, unsurprising given that most teams have found much more success on blue than red during the tournament.
T1 is a unique opponent though, the only side that’s shown a favourability and success on red side. Drafting on red side gives a team the final pick, allowing them a greater chance of counter-picking, and T1 will look to use this to their advantage.

NOV. 12 – T1 BLOCKS JDG’S GOLDEN ROAD
Faker’s T1 has taken down JD Gaming’s Golden Road-chasing superteam. The roster, rumoured to have cost $16m, had won everything possible this year and seemed a shoo-in to win Worlds.
T1 had other ideas though, looking dominant in a 3-1 victory which moves them into next Sunday’s grand final against Weibo Gaming. Faker looked back to his best in the series, rolling back the years to once again cement himself amongst the world’s best while extending his GOAT status.
The defeat is a disaster for JDG who will now go back to the drawing board to plan for next year’s Worlds charge.
NOV. 11 – WEIBO REACHES THE FINAL
Weibo Gaming has become the first team to reach the Worlds 2023 final. In a back-and-forth series, the LPL side took the full five games to beat national rivals Bilibili Gaming.
BLG was the favourite on the day given Weibo’s inability to live up to its on-paper strength throughout the season, however Xiaohu and co. finally got it together when it mattered most and now need only one more series win to be crowned World Champions.
NOV. 9 – BETTING ODDS TO WIN LOL WORLDS 2023
According to GG.Bet, an award-winning esports betting site, the latest odds for team to win LoL Worlds 2023 are as follows:
- JD Gaming (2.1 or +110)
- T1 (2.5 or +150)
- Bilibili Gaming (6.5 or +550)
- Weibo Gaming (14 or +1300)
NOV. 5 – SEMIFINALS STAGE SET
The Worlds 2023 semi-final matchups are now decided after Korea’s T1 became the final team to qualify, beating China’s LNG Esports 3-0 in the process.
The final LCK representatives go up against tournament favourites JD Gaming in the semis, while the other LPL hopefuls Bilibili Gaming and Weibo Gaming will duke it out on the other side of the bracket.

NOV. 4 – JDG CONTINUES ON GOLDEN ROAD
LPL champions JD Gaming kept their Grand Slam dream alive beating Korea’s KT Roster 3-1.
JDG became the third Chinese side to make the Worlds 2023 semi-finals while KT now heads home.
The LCK side put up a valiant fight, ditching the choker tag to match up closely against the tournament favourites.
NOV. 3 – BLG WIN, GEN.G ELIMINATED
The LPL kept up its 100% quarter-finals record with Bilibili Gaming beating and eliminating one of the tournament favourites in Korea’s Gen.G.
The Chinese team looked set to sweep the series starting 2-0 before Gen.G clawed it back to 2-2.
On the brink of a reverse sweep, BLG turned it back on in game five to claim the victory in what was the tournament’s most exciting series so far.
NOV 2. 2023 – WEIBO MAKES THE SEMIS
China’s Weibo Gaming has become the first side to reach the Worlds 2023 semi-final. The LPL team swatted aside NA’s first seed NRG in a 3-0 series – meaning there are no longer any remaining teams that aren’t from the LPL or LCK.

OCT. 29 – KNOCKOUT QUALIFICATION CONFIRMED
KT Rolster, Weibo Gaming and Bilibili Gaming became the final teams to reach the Worlds 2023 knockout stage.
KT booked their spot by beating fellow Korean’s Dplus KIA in a 2-0 series, starting cagily in game one and then winning a back-and-forth game two.
Weibo had to turn around a 1-0 deficit against Europe’s Fnatic in order to reach the quarter-finals with a 2-1 win – starting their comeback in game two before stomping in game three.
Finally, BLG beat the LEC’s last hope in G2 Esports, closing out a close 2-1 series. Their qualification means that all four LPL sides made it to the quarter-finals.
OCT. 28 – NRG SHOCKS THE WEST, T1 MARCH ON
North America’s NRG provided perhaps the biggest shock of Worlds 2023 so far as they beat Europe’s G2 Esports in a convincing 2-0 series. This booked their spot in the knockouts, something LCS sides rarely manage at Worlds, and means that G2 will continue fighting for their spot.
The day’s second series, another 2-0, saw three-time Worlds winners T1 continue to show improved performance as they beat China’s Bilibili Gaming. BLG sent T1 home at MSI earlier this year and the LCK second seed was finally able to get revenge.
G2 and BLG will now face each other in a do-or-die series to reach the knockout stage.
OCT. 27 – GAM ELIMINATED, LNG MAKE KNOCKOUTS
Vietnam’s GAM Esports became the latest side to crash out of the Worlds 2023 Swiss stage as they were beaten by a dominant Dplus KIA. The Korean opponents had looked inconsistent at Worlds so far but made light work of GAM in what was the LCK side’s best performance of the tournament.
Following that, KT Rolster faced LNG Esports for a spot in the knockout stage. LNG, largely considered one of the tournament favourites only behind JDG and Gen.G, claimed a hard-fought 2-1 victory to move one, leaving KT with one more shot at qualification in their next series.
OCT. 26 – CLOUD9 AND MAD LIONS BOW OUT
Another day of the Swiss stage has led to another day of eliminations, this time the LCS’ Cloud9 and the LEC’s MAD Lions.
C9 had a favourable elimination draw against Europe’s Fnatic and started strong in game one, though they took much longer than necessary to close it out. Fnatic took confidence from C9’s inability to close out by claiming the next two matches and winning the series 2-1.
MAD Lions faced a tougher task in China’s Weibo Gaming and, despite an inspired Nisqy performance in game one, were ultimately unable to claim a single win and crashed out in a 2-0 defeat.
OCT. 23 – FIRST SWISS ELIMINATIONS
The Worlds 2023 Swiss stage has claimed its first casualties in the shape of Team BDS and Team Liquid.
BDS’ exit came at the hands of Korea’s Dplus KIA. The LCK side was the toughest draw BDS could’ve hoped for in their elimination series and it played out more or less as expected.
Team Liquid was luckier, drawing Vietnam’s GAM Esports who — despite having historically been a dark horse internationally — had struggled in recent seasons after the COVID-induced exclusions meant that Vietnamese teams missed a number of big events. The close series saw TL grab one game, but the NA outfit ultimately crashed out in a 2-1 defeat.

OCT. 21 – JDG CONTINUES ON THE GOLDEN ROAD
JD Gaming moved a step closer to the perfect League of Legends season by becoming the first team to qualify for the Worlds 2023 Knockout Stage, beating LPL rivals LNG Esports 2-1 in the process.
In the day’s other series, LCK first seed Gen.G made light work of Europe’s G2 Esports to join JDG in the knockouts.
Losers LNG and G2 will continue in the Swiss stage, each with another two more at qualifying for the next phase.
OCT. 20 – SWISS ROUND 2
The second round of the Swiss stage is complete, with a number of teams now on the verge of qualification and elimination.
The four sides at 2-0, about to play for their place in the knockouts, are JDG, Gen.G, LNG and G2. The LEC winners are perhaps the biggest shock here, beating tough opposition in the shape of Dplus and Weibo to claim their 100% per cent record.
On the other end, Dplus, GAM, BDS and Team Liquid are all now fighting for survival in round 3. Dplus has had the hardest path here, losing to G2 and KT Rolster, but now have an easier draw against BDS to stay in contention.
The other eight sides now have a 1-1 record, none yet fighting for qualification or survival.
OCT. 19 – MAIN EVENT GETS UNDERWAY
The Worlds 2023 Main Event has begun, starting with the first round of the all-new Swiss stage. Most of the matchups went pretty much as expected, with the exceptions of a G2 victory over Dplus KIA and a C9 win over MAD Lions.
The bigger surprise came with the draw for round two, which has led to a ridiculous five domestic ties. NA’s NRG face Team Liquid, Europe’s MAD Lions take on Team BDS, China’s JD Gaming go up against Bilibili Gaming, and, finally, Korea sees all of its sides matched up with Gen.G vs T1 and KT Rolster vs Dplus KIA.
The good news is that these will still be the slightly lower stakes best-of-one matches, meaning the more important qualification/elimination best-of-threes are more likely to be inter-regional matchups.

OCT. 15 – MAIN EVENT TEAMS CONFIRMED
GAM Esports and Team BDS became the final teams to qualify for the Worlds 2023 Main Event. GAM took down Team Whales 3-1 in their qualifier while BDS needed five games to beat a resilient PSG Talon through a nailbiting 3-2 win.
The results were followed by the draw for the first round of the Swiss stage. All first-round matches are set to take place on Thursday 19th Oct., starting with T1 vs Team Liquid and finishing with Bilibili Gaming vs KT Rolster.
OCT. 14 – MAIN EVENT QUALIFIER MATCHUPS DRAWN
Another day of best-of-threes has decided which teams have made it to tomorrow’s qualifiers, the winners of which will become the final teams to reach the Worlds 2023 Main Event. GAM Esports kicked off the action with a 2-0 victory against LOUD before Team BDS matched that scoreline against CTBC Flying Oysters.
A Sett pick for BDS Adam saw him move closer to completing his signature ‘GODS’ champion pool during the tournament, now only needing an Olaf pick to finish the collection.
BDS now moves on to PSG Talon tomorrow while GAM will go up against Team Whales. Each matchup will be decided through a best-of-five series.
Go to:
OCT. 13 – FIRST ELIMINATED TEAMS
The Worlds 2023 Play-In stage continued today and saw its first eliminated teams. Latin America’s Movistar R7 was the unfortunate first drop-out, going out with a whimper after an uninspired 2-0 loss to Vietnam’s GAM Esports. The following series saw an equally one-sided matchup as Europe’s Team BDS swept Japan’s DetonatioN FocusMe, knocking them out in the process.
GAM and BDS now move on to face Loud and CTBC Flying Oysters respectively as they continue fighting for their own survival and aim to earn a spot in the Main Event Qualifiers.
OCT. 12 – PSG REMAINS UNBEATEN
PSG Talon continued their unbeaten start to the Worlds 2023 Play-In stage, taking down LOUD 2-0 to move within one series victory of a spot in the Main Event.
They’ll face Team Whales — who beat CTBC Flying Oyster in a close 2-1 series — this Sunday in the tournament’s first best-of-five. Today’s two losing teams will meet on Saturday to fight for their survival. The winner will move on to the Qualifiers for the Main Event while the loser will be eliminated.
OCT. 11 – ADAM’S DARIUS ARRIVES IN KOREA
Another 2-0 to start day two as PCS second seed CTBC Flying Oyster made light work of Japan’s DetonatioN FocusMe. The LJL winners will fight for survival against Team BDS tomorow.
BDS arrived in this position after losing 2-1 to Vietnam’s Team Whales.
BDS top laner Adam was allowed his signature Darius pick, one of his four ‘GODS’ champions, and dominated in game one. His 3.3k gold lead over fellow top laner Sparda was the second-largest lane lead at 14 minutes in Worlds history.
Team Whales was able to fight back and take the next two matches, winning the series and setting up an upper bracket clash with CFO on Friday, Oct. 13.
OCT. 10 – DAY 1 PENTAKILL
After Team BDS beat Golden Guardians in the World Qualifying Series to become the final team to make it to Worlds, the tournament proper officially kicked off Oct. 10 with the first Play-Ins matches.
Two 2-0 series first saw PCS champions PSG Talon begin their campaign with a sweeping victory over LLA winners Movistar R7 before Brazil’s LOUD matched the scoreline against Vietnam’s GAM Esports.
LOUD bot laner Route provided the highlight of the opening day with a fountain diving pentakill, capping off an 11/0/5 Kai’Sa performance.
