What are the best picks for Worlds 2024 Pick'Em?
Analyzing the matchups, the teams from the LCK and LPL regions stand out as early frontrunners. While European and North American teams face some uphill battles, a few dark horses might surprise us along the way.
For those looking to boost their Pick'Em predictions, here are some safe bets:
- Hanwha Life Esports (HLE)
- Gen.G
- Bilibili Gaming
- Top Esports
- T1
- LNG Esports
- G2 Esports
- Weibo Gaming
T1 and G2 might seem like riskier options due to the current state of their rosters, but there’s reason to believe they can still perform well. G2’s traditionally strong scrim results could boost their chances, even against tougher opponents, due to the psychological and emotional factor. Meanwhile T1’s performance might depend on how they adapt to changes in their lineup. Faker's possible absence due to injury is a significant factor, but with Rekkles boosting T1's ranks as their "sub", he might step in to fill a botlane role, with Gumayusi or Keria moving to mid. This change could create some unexpected dynamics.
If you’re feeling lucky, replacing G2 or T1 with Dplus KIA or even MAD Lions KOI could be an interesting gamble.
Where to Watch the Action
You can watch all the action unfold live on the official League of Legends Esports channels on Twitch and YouTube. The Swiss Stage is set to be one of the most unpredictable and exciting phases of the tournament.
As always, the League of Legends community is in for a thrilling competition, with each game offering a chance to witness the best of the best. Whether you’re an esports fan or simply enjoy the Pick'Em experience, there’s plenty to look forward to during LoL Worlds 2024.
