Worlds 2024 - League of Legends major tournament schedule announced

From September 25 to November 2, one of the year's biggest esports events will take place: the League of Legends World Championship, better known as Worlds 2024. This highly anticipated tournament captures the attention of fans worldwide, with the burning question being, who will claim the next championship title?
