LoL Worlds Power Rankings
Lee Jones highlights the top teams and what they have accomplished over the past season. Which teams stand the best chance of winning LoL Worlds in 2024? Keep reading the LoL Worlds power rankings for detailed insights on all the favorites.
10. Team Liquid
North America’s best hope for Worlds run, Team Liquid has gone from strength to strength under the guidance of coach Spawn. They’ve been hailed as one of the world’s leading sides in their understanding of laneswaps and having a team from the West have this kind of claim doesn’t happen often. That said, their raw firepower lacks that of their Eastern opponents and prevents them from creeping higher up the Worlds 2024 power rankings.
9. G2 Esports
Almost the polar opposite of TL, G2 enters Worlds as the West’s strongest squad on paper and their native LEC’s dominant force for many years. However, recent months have seen their grip on Europe loosen and questions have been asked of their macro decisions. They must find improvement if they’re to make the deep run this tournament that they’ll be hoping for, and star mid laner Caps will be leading the charge if they manage to do so. For now, they remain ninth in the Worlds 2024 power rankings.
8. LNG Esports
Despite a slow start to the season, China’s LNG surged up the LPL table this Summer and ultimately finished first in the league’s Regional Finals; their last chance to qualify for Worlds. Usually such form just before Worlds would bring some much-welcomed momentum, however that has completely halted for LNG following the confirmation that mid laner Scout — lauded as one of the best in his role in the world — will not be able to travel to the tournament due to an ongoing legal battle with his previous organisation Edward Gaming.
He’s being replaced through the extraordinary emergency loan of JD Gaming’s Yagao, an extremely capable replacement. However, despite his elite level, the lack of synergy and familiarity with LNG’s playstyle means that he’ll be starting from behind, hence the eighth place in the LoL Worlds 2024 power rankings
7. T1
Those unfamiliar with T1’s 2024 season could be forgiven for putting them amongst the Worlds 2024 favorites, seeing as they enter this event with their entire 2023 Worlds-winning lineup — the superteam built around legendary mid laner Faker — completely intact. However the lack of consistency that had led many to expect the roster to disband before their Worlds fairytale has ironically been their main source of consistency. This sees them in seventh place in our LoL Worlds power rankings.
The side peaked earlier in the year when they won the Esports World Cup, but since failed to light up Korea as they slumped out of summer playoffs in third place. They finally made it to Worlds through the skin of their teeth in an excruciatingly close 3-2 win over KT Rolster in what was the team’s final chance at qualification.
6. Top Esports
Top Esports’ return to Worlds after two years away follows a roster refresh that brought the likes of 369, and Meiko to the lineup, as well as mid laner Creme who faced the tough task of replacing mid lane GOAT contender Rookie. Remaining from last year was superstar bot laner JackeyLove who continues to show the consistency he finally found in recent seasons after spending years aiming to regain the form that saw him win Worlds with Invictus Gaming in 2018.
The new-look squad impressively finished within the top three of both LPL splits and came in at second at the Esports World Cup. However, MSI — the biggest tournament of the year so far — saw them tragically crash out in a 3-0 sweep at the hands of Europe’s G2, one of the biggest international upsets in recent years. They must avoid a similar disaster at Worlds in order to earn a higher placing than the current LoL Worlds 2024 power rankings suggest.
5. Dplus KIA
Dplus KIA is a side that’s simply always in and amongst the top of the LCK, no matter whether they’re in a particularly strong period or not. In 2024 they’ve gone largely under the radar, finishing only fourth in both LCK splits before making it to Worlds as the winners of Korea’s Regional Finals.
Despite a generally uninspired season, the organisation has now booked its spot at Worlds for the fifth time in a row, never missing a single tournament since the team promoted to the LCK under its original DAMWON Gaming brand. That’s largely thanks to their talisman ShowMaker in the mid lane who has stuck with the org through a host of roster iterations, remaining one of the best in his role through the entire journey. In all the Worlds 2024 power rankings, Dplus KIA is certainly a side to watch.
4. Weibo Gaming
Runner’s up at Worlds 2023, Weibo Gaming will be hoping to go one step further this time but may well struggle to make it amongst the strongest contenders. They are fourth in the LoL power rankings due to the fact they boast legendary Xioahu as their mid laner – still the only player to win international tournaments in different positions; MSI 2018 and 2023 as a mid laner with his 2021 MSI win playing top sandwiched between. He shares the lack of a World Championship title with his current org and fully deserves a Worlds ring at some point in his career.
3. Hanwha Life Esports
Hanwha Life Esports is a side that always seemed forgettable to the general viewer, particularly those outside of Korea, given their lacklustre LCK placings over the years. Those within the region, however, would have known of the enormous scale of the organisation’s parent company Hanwha Life Insurance. This size meant that Hanwha Life was essentially a sleeping giant – always having the resources to put together a world-class roster.
This potential almost came to fruition when they signed Chovy in 2021, but it eventually took an additional three years until they finally claimed their first LCK title this summer. To do so they had to beat Chovy’s Gen.G, putting a halt to their attempted five-peat. Entering Worlds as Korea’s number one seed unsurprisingly rockets them up the LoL Worlds power rankings.
2. Bilibili Gaming
Bilibili Gaming is scary. Like JDG last year, they’ve completely dominated the most competitive and most difficult league in the world to comfortably win both LPL splits in 2024. Also like JDG last season, BLG is led by mid laner knight, dubbed The Golden Left Hand, who has shown himself one of the world’s greatest players over the last few years.
The rest of their squad isn’t too shabby either. Top laner Bin has also been heralded as one of the best in his role, while junglers Wei and Xun, bot laner Elk and support ON are also elite talents in their respective roles.
Any other year a team with such regional dominance in China would be firm favourites for Worlds, but Gen.G is different gravy and so impossible to overtake in the LoL Worlds 2024 power rankings.
1. Gen.G
MSI holders and recent four-time consecutive LCK champions, the current iteration of Gen.G is amongst the greatest squads to have ever played League of Legends. Mid laner Chovy has been hailed by some as currently playing the best LoL that has ever been seen, and he’s had his team built around him with outrageous talent in every role.
Jungler Canyon has been discussed as the GOAT in his role. Top laner Kiin is finally thriving after years of being a big fish in a small pond at Afreeca Freecs (previously Kwangdong Freecs). 18-year-old bot laner Peyz continues to impress after replacing the legendary Ruler. Support Lehends is showing why he never deserved to leave Gen.G originally back in 2022.
The obvious question mark is their failure to win summer, losing the final at the hands of Hanwha Life Esports. Yes, how embarrassing of them not to manage to win *checks notes* FIVE consecutive LCK titles.
Don’t be fooled by the lack of a Golden Road narrative now that a perfect season isn’t possible. Our LoL Worlds power rankings still have Gen.G as the number one team at the tournament and anything but lifting the Summoner’s Cup will be a failure.
