Hanwha Life Esports vs. Bilibili Gaming
This is a clash between the champions of two of the strongest regions—LCK and LPL. Hanwha Life Esports surprised many by winning the LCK Summer 2024 and defeating Gen.G in the finals. On the world stage, they confirmed their status by advancing with a 3-1 record. Bilibili Gaming, the champions of the LPL, progressed with a 3-2 record, showing strength in Bo5 matches. This match will be a test for both teams and will show who is ready to fight for the world champion title.
Top Esports vs. T1
One of the most anticipated quarterfinal matches. T1, the most titled team in the world led by the legendary Faker, will face Top Esports. These teams have met twice this year: T1 defeated TES in the Esports World Cup 2024 finals, but TES took revenge in this championship. Both teams showed strong performances in the group stage, and this match promises to be a true battle of giants.
Gen.G vs. FlyQuest
Gen.G reached the playoffs with a spotless 3-0 record, defeating strong opponents such as Weibo Gaming, Top Esports, and Hanwha Life Esports. FlyQuest is the only Western team to make it to the quarterfinals, showing resilience and determination to win. Although Gen.G is a clear favorite, FlyQuest has a chance to surprise everyone and continue their fairy-tale journey at Worlds 2024.
