After nine intense days of competition in the Swiss stage, the final eight teams advancing to the knockout stage have been decided! Like last year, the quarterfinals will feature four LPL teams, three LCK teams, and one team from the LCS. All matches in the quarterfinals will be played in a best-of-five (Bo5) format. This article will break down the four exciting matchups in the League of Legends Worlds 2024 quarterfinals.
LNG Esports (1.338*) vs. Weibo Gaming (3.430*)
The first quarterfinal of the League of Legends Worlds 2024 features an all-LPL clash between LNG Esports (LNG) and Weibo Gaming (WBG). LNG, the third seed, has shown exceptional form, remaining undefeated in the Swiss stage and defeating top teams like Bilibili Gaming (BLG) and Dplus KIA (DK). Its versatile strategies and deep champion pool, especially in mid-laner Lee "Scout" Ye-chan, give it the edge. On the other hand, WBG has faced inconsistency, particularly with support player Liu "Crisp" Qingsong, and will struggle to match LNG's mid-lane dominance. Betting favors LNG with Money Line odds at 1.338* and a -1.5 handicap at 1.757*.

Hanwha Life Esports (1.833*) vs. Bilibili Gaming (2.030*)
The second quarterfinal matchup of the League of Legends Worlds 2024 is an intense rivalry between the first seeds from LCK and LPL: Hanwha Life Esports (HLE) and Bilibili Gaming (BLG). HLE boasts the world's best AD carry, Park "Viper" Do-hyeon, but has an inconsistent top-laner, Choi "Doran" Hyeon-jun, which could be exploited. BLG's top-laner, Chen "Bin" Zebin, is the world's best, but its support, Luo "ON" Wenjun, has struggled. In general, HLE holds a slight edge in the quarterfinal matchup against BLG, thanks to better recent momentum, ban/pick strategies and individual performances. Despite this, a tight match is anticipated. Betting favors HLE at 1.833* with Map Total Over 4.5 at 2.770* if you expect a close match.

TOP Esports (1.970*) vs. T1 (1.884*)
This quarterfinal matchup is one of the most anticipated at Worlds 2024. Defending champions T1 initially struggled, losing its opener to TOP Esports (TES) in the Swiss stage but rebounded with dominant performances. T1’s sharp strategies, including early-game lane swaps and effective champion compositions, make the team a formidable contender. TES remains a strong rival with standout performances, especially from mid-laner Lin "Creme" Jian on the new champion Aurora. This time, the matches will be best-of-five (Bo5), allowing both teams to adapt their strategies throughout the series. T1 is going to reclaim its dominance and take revenge against TES. Expect a close battle, but T1 is slightly favored with a Money Line of 1.884* and Map Total Under 4.5 at 1.471* for a projected 3-1 result.
Gen.G (1.011*) vs. FlyQuest (10.750*)
Reflected in the odds, the quarterfinals feature a heavily favored matchup as Gen.G, despite losing its first seed to HLE in the LCK Summer final, showcased dominance and successfully gained revenge against HLE in the Swiss stage. The team is led by the world-class mid-laner Jeong "Chovy" Ji-hoon, who is aiming for his first world champion title. Gen.G is poised for a strong performance. FlyQuest (FLY), the only LCS and West representative, stole a game against HLE in the Swiss stage, offering a glimmer of hope despite losing the series. Its unconventional strategies may provide some advantages. However, Gen.G's Money Line sits at 1.011*, with a handicap of -2.5 at 1.369*, indicating expectations of a decisive victory.
