Everything You Need to Know About the 2024 League of Legends World Championship

The League of Legends World Championship is just a few weeks away, with teams still securing their spots in the competition that will crown the best team of 2024.

Riot Games has kept things simple this year, retaining the same format but introducing minor adjustments to streamline the event. The tournament will take place across Europe, with matches held at the Riot Berlin Studio and two large venues: one in Paris and another in London.

Teams will face tough challenges, especially after Hanwha Life Esports halted Gen.G’s bid for the golden road. Gen.G will undoubtedly seek revenge. Meanwhile, T1’s chances of qualifying for Worlds 2024 are uncertain.

Here’s everything you need to know about the tournament, including updates as more details emerge.
