The draw for the Worlds 2024 Quarterfinals took place right after the Swiss Round ended and brought 4 extremely awaited matches
The last day of the Swiss Round was quite tense when all 3 matches had to be decided in game 3. In the end, the excellent teams that won and moved on were Weibo Gaming, Bilibili Gaming, and Flyquest.
Soon after, the draw to determine the pairs and brackets in the Quarterfinals was also held. With the advantage of being in the 3-0 group, Gen.G Esports met Flyquest, the team that is considered the lightest in this round. Meanwhile, LNG will face WBG, which is also the only civil war in the Quarterfinals.
The other two pairs will be very balanced LCK vs LPL battles. Hanwha Life Esports will meet a Bilibili Gaming team that is on the verge of returning. At the same time, the LCK champion is also in the same branch as the other 2 LPL teams.
Finally, T1 had a rematch with TOP Esports. In the Swiss Round, Faker and his teammates lost in the BO1 format to this opponent. But meeting again in a pair of BO5s is said to be completely different. At this time, many fans continue to hope that T1’s “internal” not losing LPL in Worlds will continue to be promoted.
Besides, T1 is also in the same branch as Gen.G Esports. If they pass the TES, T1’s confrontation with Gen.G in the Semifinals is highly likely. Therefore, the journey to defend the crown of Faker and his teammates is said to be not easy at all.
The Worlds 2024 Quarterfinals will officially kick off on Thursday 17/10 with the opening match between LNG and WBG. The matches all take place in the form of BO5, starting at from October 17-20, 2024.
