As you know, the year 2024 for the League of Legends industry in particular and Esports in general will be equally exciting. If last year, besides the domestic tournaments or the already familiar MSI – World Championships, League of Legends players also welcomed Hangzhou ASIAD – where Esports will become an official medal competition, then this year There is another new tournament born called Esports World Cup. According to the recently announced schedule, EWC 2024 held on Arab soil will take place in mid-July – the time when many domestic tournaments have started again.
Faker appeared in the promotional clip for EWC 2024
Recently, a post from EWC 2024 about 8 teams invited to compete in the tournament's League of Legends was also published. Accordingly, these 8 teams turned out to be… the top 2 teams of 4 domestic tournaments belonging to the Majors group of the League of Legends village. They include: Gen.G – T1 (LCK), Bilibili Gaming – Top Esports (LPL), G2 Esports – Fnatic (LEC) and Team Liquid – FlyQuest (LCS). Worth mentioning, except for FlyQuest, the remaining 7 names appeared in the group stage of MSI 2024 recently. It can be said that the goal of the organizers of EWC 2024 is to take advantage of the attraction of the 8 strongest teams of 4 regions and recreate MSI 2024 for its young tournament.
The 8 invited teams are the Top 2 strongest teams in the domestic tournament in Spring 2024 and 7/8 of these teams have participated in the MSI 2024 group stage.
However, for the audience, this information does not bring too much excitement. According to European and American audiences, FlyQuest and FNC actually did not perform well at the recent MSI. The LCS runner-up was even defeated by a team from the Minor region, PSG Talon, and had to leave the tournament in the Play-In round. Meanwhile, what FNC did was 2 wins against a team with a patchwork squad and an unstable Spring – GAM Esports. The rest, FNC lost all the time and had to leave the tournament very early.
Some teams confirmed they are ready to participate in the tournament
But the audience still seems bored when EWC wants to recreate MSI 2024 to attract attention, but perhaps the result is difficult to be different.
Not to mention, some T1 fans also expressed concern that T1 must balance the LCK arena, which is also extremely important, and also have to divide their efforts to compete at EWC. Even though the competition time is short, traveling long distances can completely affect the players' physical strength, especially many T1 superstars have announced their injuries after returning from MSI 2024.
Not to mention Gumayusi once admitted that he also suffered an injury after returning from MSI 2024. Before that, there were bad signs coming from Faker's hands.
However, the above list is only 8 invited teams, and there are teams that have not yet commented on whether they will attend EWC 2024 or not. Therefore, this list can completely change at the last moment if the players feel not ready for a short but difficult journey like the upcoming tournament in Arabia.
