One of the most important indicators of success at any stage of a tournament is the ability to dominate the lane. At the League of Legends 2024 World Championship, we see that it is the Korean players who achieve the most success in the early game, winning lanes with a substantial gold advantage by 14 minutes. Faker, a mid-lane legend, ranks first on this list, outpacing his opponents in nearly all matches. Why is this so important?
The point is, a gold advantage in the early game often determines the overall outcome of the match. Players who can systematically dominate the lane create a strategic advantage for their team, helping them seize control of the game and dictate terms at later stages. Faker, Zeus, and Oner—all three players from team T1—achieved the highest lane advantage among all tournament participants, underscoring the strength of this legendary lineup.
The Context of Early Game Dominance
Every match at the Worlds 2024 is not just a clash of teams but a battle of individual players. One of the key aspects of victory is a player's ability to outpace their rival in resources, such as gold. This metric is especially important in the mid-lane, where even a slight advantage can lead to a snowball effect that's difficult to stop.
Currently, Faker leads with 88% of lanes won by the 14-minute mark, earning on average 721 more gold than his opponents. Zeus and Oner, also representing T1, achieved similar results, highlighting the team’s cohesion and strength.
Player Dominance Statistics at Worlds 2024
Moving to specific numbers, it’s worth noting that Faker, Zeus, and Oner dominated in 88% of their games, winning lanes against their opponents across 8 matches. In second place for this metric is Breathe from Weibo Gaming, with a 77% rate over 13 matches. Not far behind is Keria, T1’s support, with a 75% rate. Among players from other regions, APA from Team Liquid stands out, winning 70% of his lanes in 10 games.
