The Worlds 2024 in League of Legends are over, and the Korean star team T1 faced off against the Chinese champion BLG. Both delivered an exciting final that even reached a fifth game. Both teams showcased performances that every fan of professional LoL should watch.
Who faced off in the final? In the final of the Worlds 2024, two LoL giants clashed. On one side was the Korean team T1, which not only has the legendary midlaner Faker but also 4 other players who play well together.
On the other side, there was the Chinese champion BLG, a team that poses worthy competition to the Korean stars with players like BIN, knight, and Elk.
And the two teams delivered quite a show this year in the final. Fans were able to witness 5 games filled with impressive moments.
Both Teams Show Their Best Side
How did the matches go? The first match had a lot to offer. BLG appeared aggressive and cheeky. From the start, they managed to dominate T1, preventing them from getting into the game. BLG won the first game.
However, T1 did not let themselves be discouraged in the second game and quickly adapted to BLG’s aggressive tactics. They played calmly, even in chaotic teamfights, and almost always knew what they could achieve at any moment. Particularly impressive were Oner on Nocturne and Faker on Sylas, who made excellent use of his opponent’s Rakan ultimate. The score was now 1:1.
In game 3, BLG again adapted to T1 and played even more aggressively than before. The Blitzcrank pick by ON stood out, as he annoyed T1 from the start. knight as Galio and XUN as Kindred also delivered stellar performances. Overall, BLG had the game under control and secured a second victory with constant pressure.
Even in game 4, things initially looked quite good for BLG. Zeus on Rumble was constantly pressured, and he was dived multiple times under his tower. But he represented the mental strength of T1. They did not let setbacks discourage them. They secured objectives and created advantageous moments.
Especially the legendary Faker showed that he has earned his status. He played cheekily, aggressively, but always very well at the right moments. He knew exactly how to position himself with Sylas and what he could get away with. This was particularly evident at minute 20. With a good flash and a stolen Rakan ultimate, he initiated a teamfight that was advantageous for T1.
T1 managed to win the fourth game despite initial problems. Now it was time for the night’s finale, the last match of the best-of-5.
No Team Gave Up in the Last Match
In the last game, both teams fought for everything. T1 built a slight gold lead, but BLG did not relent. Even when BLG lost a teamfight, they tried to make it out with as little damage as possible.
At minute 28:40, a decisive teamfight occurred. At first glance, it looked quite good for BLG. They managed to take down Gumayusi and Keria but lost ON in the process. However, Faker, Zeus, and Oner had hardly lost any health and defeated the remaining 4 BLG players with a brilliant combo of Gragas, Xin Zhao, and Galio.
BLG did not give up. In a final attempt on the top lane, they tried to take Zeus down 4v1. But Faker reacted quickly and used his Galio ultimate. Although Zeus was killed, Faker managed to buy time, allowing Oner and Gumayusi to join the fight. They killed the 4 BLG players and ended the game.
Keria also performed very well here. The support saw knight on the mid lane, who was trying to teleport up at that moment, but with his Poppy ultimate, he interrupted the teleport, preventing knight from helping BLG.
Thus, Faker could react quickly with a good Galio ultimate, and the entire T1 team responded accordingly. They won the play and ultimately the game.
A Worthy Finale of the Worlds 2024
The final of the Worlds 2024 was an impressive spectacle of professional LoL. Both teams showed a strong side. Small mistakes from BLG and good decisions from T1 ultimately led to the victory of the Koreans. T1 demonstrated in the final what mental strength and inner calm they possess.
