With the arrival of late September, the war drums for the 2024 League of Legends World Championship have been beaten. With the announcement of the list of 20 participating teams, netizens on the Korea FMKOREA forum launched a heated discussion and voted on the team rankings. With the active participation of 1354 netizens, the team rankings of this year's World Championship were finally released, and Sara originally thought that this was the list voted by Korea, and GEN definitely ranked first, but the result was unexpected. The specific average rankings are as follows!
1、BLG——2.2
2、GEN——2.4
3、HLE——2.7
4、TES——4.5
5、T1——6.6
6、DK——7.0
7、G2——7.1
8、LNG——8.0
9、WBG——8.6
10、FLY——9.8
11、FNC——10.4
12、TL——10.8
13、MAD——12.9
14、100T——13.8
15、PSG——14.4
16、GAM——15.8
17、SHG——17.8
18、VK——17.9
19、PNG——18.8
20、R7——19.5
In this high-profile list, the BLG team topped the list with an average ranking of 2.2, showing their unshakable position in the hearts of the audience. Sara speculated that it was because GEN lost the LCK final in the summer tournament, and many Korea netizens thought they had shown their flaws, on the contrary, BLG played a dominant performance in the LPL league. It was followed by Team GEN in second place with an average of 2.4 and HLE in third place with an average of 2.7. These three teams are ranked relatively close and are considered the favorites to win the World Finals, which will undoubtedly add more highlights to the upcoming event.
The average ranking of the teams behind is above 4, with TES, the second seed in the LPL, in fourth place with an average ranking of 4.5, and T1, the fourth seed in the LCK, in fifth place with an average ranking of 6.6. The selection of these two teams once again proves their competitiveness and influence on the international stage, and it is believed that T1 did not play well in the Summer as a version problem, while the Worlds version is a perfect fit for them. T1 has been a mediocre team in the league in the last two years, but when it comes to the international stage, Faker and his teammates have been able to show strong momentum.
Team DK is in sixth place with an average ranking of 7.0, followed by Team G2 with an average ranking of 7.1, and the rankings of these two teams also show their status in the hearts of fans. G2 is a European team that is able to rank in the top 10 because of their good historical record, and MSI also finished fourth this year. It is worth noting that the LNG team ranked eighth with an average ranking of 8.0, while the WBG team ranked ninth with an average ranking of 8.6, and Korea netizens believed that the two teams in the LPL were not as strong as G2, but sara felt that G2's ranking was a bit inflated, and they made a lot of mistakes in the game.
In this list, Team FLY ranks 10th with an average of 9.8, while Team FNC ranks 11th with an average of 10.4. The selection of these two teams is really because all the LPL and LCK teams are already in front, so it is their turn, FNC's competitiveness and influence in the international arena are not bad, but their medium-term operation ability is not strong, and when encountering Chinese and Korean teams, they are always seized to bury the early advantage. FLY was an upset LCS league champion and haven't really shown what they're capable of, adding more suspense to the upcoming match.
Although TL has a number of Korean players, including Impact and CoreJJ, who have won the world championship, they won a win in Switzerland last year, MSI did not perform well this year, and the recent LCS finals gave away the championship, so Korea netizens do not rate them highly. As for the teams after TL, there is little discussion value, it is difficult for them to qualify from the Switzerland round, and it is not easy for the wild card teams to enter the Switzerland round.
But no matter what, the World Finals is a competition between teams from all regions of the world, and on this stage, we will witness the dreams and sweat of countless players, and we will also feel the infinite passion and charm brought by esports. Sara naturally hopes that the LPL team can achieve good results in this World Championship, but I also look forward to playing a wonderful game every game, and I am willing to cheer for every player and cheer for every team.
