2024 League of Legends The World Championship is set for a thunderous ending as China’s Bilibili Gaming takes on South Korea’s T1 in their quest to become the next World Champion.

October League of Legends has continued its strong tradition of mechanical victories, magnificent triumphs, and heartbreaking eliminations as it progresses. 2024 World Cup Semifinals built the tale of two redemption arcs for LCK fourth seed T1 and LPL top seed Bilibili Gaming after eliminating Gen.G and Weibo Gaming, respectively, from World Cups 2024. However, despite these similar year-long redemption arcs for both 2024 Worlds finalists, the journey to becoming the next League of Legends world champion couldn’t be more different.

Here’s a preview of the League of Legends Worlds 2024 Grand Finals and what you can expect from the T1 vs BLG series this week.

There really is no team like T1 when it comes to the League of Legends World Championship. For three years in a row, this group of five players has achieved almost everything you can imagine, from multiple LCK titles to a World Championship title last year. However, despite their achievements as a group of five, their 2024 season and possibly their stay as a lineup almost ended before the World Cup even began.

Just two months ago, T1 came within one game of missing out on Worlds 2024 entirely before narrowly taking fourth place in the LCK against KT Rolster in five games. Looking ahead to the 2024 World Cup, all statistical and logical analyzes had T1 as an external contender to reach the semifinals of the 2024 World Cup, much less the Grand Final of the 2024 World Cup.

However, something in the back of every League of Legends fan’s mind could never forget the organization’s accumulated history of legendary World Championship moments and the game’s most decorated player, Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok. Those unconscious manifestations have transformed into an improbable run to their third consecutive World Grand Final after beating Gen.G in the World Cup semi-finals, formerly known as the “T1 Killers.”

Now, T1 heads to an unprecedented third consecutive World Grand Final and seventh in franchise history, as this legendary team looks to compete in a back-to-back. If T1 wants to regain its crown as the best League of Legends team in the world, it will have to defeat the most popular League of Legends team right now.

Bilibili Games

Worlds, and 2024 as a whole, have been a story of redemption and newfound glory for Bilibili Gaming as they enter new terrain for the organization.

Bilibili Gaming was seen by many as a favorite to reach the Grand Final before Worlds 2024 began. They were the reigning LPL champions, two-time MSI runners-up, and had an LPL superteam built for international moments like this. However, his path to this position has not been as easy as people expected.

Bilibili Gaming was one series away from elimination at the Swiss Stage of Worlds 2024 after losing best-of-one games against LNG and T1. It wasn’t until their series against PSG Talon and the reintroduction of Xun into the lineup that things started to pick up for them. After dominating PSG Talon, Bilibili Gaming narrowly qualified for the quarterfinals of Worlds 2024 after recording a 2-1 series victory against European superteam, G2 Esports.

That shift in momentum culminated in the dismantling of South Korea’s number one seed, Hanwha Life Esports, before overcoming past demons with a flawless 3-0 series against Weibo Gaming. Now, Bilibili Gaming has the opportunity to do something no other Chinese team has been able to do at the World Championship: win a best-of-five world championship against LPL killers T1.

Will the pressure of his first World Championship crumble at the hands of League of Legends’ biggest dynasty? Or will that pressure turn into diamonds immortalized as the LPL team that did the impossible?

When will the LoL Worlds 2024 grand final take place?

The BLG vs T1 World Grand Final is set to be one of the most exciting League of Legends best-of-five series in the game’s 14-year history. Will Bilibili Gaming players finish their year of dominance with the biggest trophy of all? Or will T1 rise from the ashes and show the entire world that the crown was always theirs? With the setting and story set for both teams, thousands of League of Legends fans will be greeted by an onslaught of exceptional gameplay as the 2024 season looks set to finish strong.

The 2024 Worlds Grand Final will take place on November 2, 2024 at 7 a.m. PT at the 02 Arena in London, England, where T1 and Bilibili Gaming will battle it out on stage to close out the 2024 League of Legends season.
