Both Movistar Koi and G2 Esports failed to secure a single series win, highlighting the LEC’s current weakness compared to North American and Taiwanese regions. Heading into the World Cup, significant changes are needed if European teams hope to compete.
The World Cup format sees the top four MSI teams (Gen.G, T1, Anyone’s Legend, and Bilibili Gaming) automatically qualifying for the Knockout Stage. The remaining teams will battle it out in a group stage, with a best-of-one format determining the top two teams from each group advancing to the Knockout Stage. The Knockout Stage will feature best-of-three matches, culminating in a best-of-five grand final on July 20th.
All eyes are on Riyadh as Gen.G aims to continue their dominance, but T1 will undoubtedly be seeking revenge. The stage is set for an epic clash, and the question remains: Can anyone dethrone the reigning champions?
