LNG Esports vs. Weibo Gaming

Date: Thursday, October 17, 2024

Time: 8 a.m. ET

How to Watch: The Esports Lab

LNG Lineup

Stats represent averages over the last 10 maps (or games), via The Esports Lab.

Zika — 4.6 kills / 2.2 deaths / 6.1 assists

Weiwei — 1.4 kills / 2.7 deaths / 10.7 assists

Scout — 5.7 kills / 1.8 deaths / 6.3 assists

GALA — 5.1 kills / 1.4 deaths / 7.1 assists

Hang — 0.6 kills / 3.4 deaths / 11.5 assists

Weibo Gaming Lineup

Stats represent averages over the last 10 maps (or games), via The Esports Lab.

Breathe — 4 kills / 2.2 deaths / 5.9 assists

Tarzan — 1.4 kills / 2.7 deaths / 9.6 assists

Xiaohu — 3.3 kills / 2 deaths / 7.7 assists

Light — 5.5 kills / 1.3 deaths / 5.1 assists

Crisp — 0.3 kills / 3.4 deaths / 10.7 assists

Prediction: LNG over Weibo, 3-1

This is two of China’s best LoL teams going head-to-head in the quarterfinals.

LNG looks like the favorite here just based on recent form, as they coasted through the Swiss Stage without dropping a single map. In LPL Summer Playoffs, Weibo won a 3-2 series over LNG. But soon after in the Regional Finals, LNG bodied Weibo, taking the match 3-0. 

While this isn’t likely to be another 3-0 sweep, LNG is in great form and they’re hard to pick against right now. 

Bilibili Gaming vs. Hanwha Life Esports

Date: Friday, October 18, 2024

Time: 8 a.m. ET

How to Watch: The Esports Lab

Bilibili Gaming Lineup

Stats represent averages over the last 10 maps (or games), via The Esports Lab.

Bin — 3.9 kills / 2.4 deaths / 5.6 assists

Xun — 2.3 kills / 2.9 deaths / 9 assists

knight — 5.9 kills / 2.4 deaths / 7.5 assists

elk — 5.5 kills / 2.3 deaths / 7.4 assists

ON — 0.5 kills / 4.6 deaths / 12 assists

Hanwha Life Lineup

Stats represent averages over the last 10 maps (or games), via The Esports Lab.

Doran — 2.8 kills / 2.1 deaths / 5.6 assists

Peanut — 1.7 kills / 3 deaths / 10.3 assists

Zeka — 4.2 kills / 2.4 deaths / 5.8 assists

Viper — 5.5 kills / 1.6 deaths / 4.8 assists

Delight — 0.4 kills / 2.9 deaths / 10.5 assists

Prediction: Hanwha Life over Bilbili, 3-2

In what is likely to be the best match of the weekend, we have the top team from China up against the top team from Korea. Bilibili dropped maps to LNG and T1 in Swiss Stage, then dropped another map to G2 in their qualifying match. 

On the other hand, Hanwha Life dropped a map to FlyQuest — the worst remaining team in Worlds, though they did play a tight match against Gen.G, considered the favorite to take the title.

I’m giving Hanwha Life the slight edge here, as they were impressive against Gen.G. But their play is inconsistent, as seen in the FlyQuest series. That could leave the door open for Bilibili. Regardless, expect plenty of close maps in this matchup, so it should be an exciting one for LoL esports fans.

Top Esports vs. T1

Date: Saturday, October 18, 2024

Time: 8 a.m. ET

How to Watch: The Esports Lab

Top Esports Lineup

Stats represent averages over the last 10 maps (or games), via The Esports Lab.

369 — 2.6 kills / 2.6 deaths / 4.2 assists

Tian — 2.2 kills / 2.5 deaths / 7.9 assists

Creme — 3.3 kills / 2.2 deaths / 5.3 assists

JackeyLove — 4.6 kills / 2.9 deaths / 5.5 assists

Meiko — 0.6 kills / 3.9 deaths / 10.1 assists

T1 Lineup

Stats represent averages over the last 10 maps (or games), via The Esports Lab.

Zeus — 2.7 kills / 2.6 deaths / 4.8 assists 

Oner — 2.2 kills / 2.1 deaths / 7.6 assists

Faker — 3.1 kills / 2.5 deaths / 3.9 assists

Gumayusi —3 kills / 2.2 deaths / 5.6 assists

Keria — 1.2 kills / 2.2 deaths / 8.2 assists

Prediction: T1 over Top, 3-1

We’ve got another very close matchup between two familiar teams in Top Esports and T1. Most recently, T1’s only loss in Swiss Stage was in a tight match to Top Esports. T1 started hot, then fell apart later in the game, with incredible team fights led by Tian and JackeyLove to secure the W.

Before that, T1 defeated Top Esports at the Esports World Cup, 3-1. While the most recent data point is valuable, T1 looked like the better team by a wide margin early in that single map. With some strategic adjustments, they’ll come out on top here, especially with the current meta in their favor. 

FlyQuest vs. Gen.G

Date: Sunday, October 20, 2024

Time: 8 a.m. ET

How to Watch: The Esports Lab

FlyQuest Lineup

Stats represent averages over the last 10 maps (or games), via The Esports Lab.

Bwipo — 2.6 kills / 3.9 deaths / 5.2 assists

Inspired — 0.9 kills / 2.4 deaths / 9.9 assists

Quad — 4.7 kills / 1.9 deaths / 5.3 assists

Massu — 4.1 kills / 2.3 deaths / 5.7 assists

Busio — 1.4 kills / 2.5 deaths / 8.7 assists

Gen.G Lineup

Stats represent averages over the last 10 maps (or games), via The Esports Lab.

Kiin — 1.8 kills / 2.6 deaths / 7.7 assists

Canyon — 2.1 kills / 2.4 deaths / 9. 8 assists

Chovy — 5.5 kills / 1.8 deaths / 6.7 assists

Peyz — 5.7 kills / 1.6 deaths / 7.6 assists

Lehends — 0.7 kills / 3.9 deaths / 12.2 assists

Prediction: Gen.G over FlyQuest, 3-0

There’s not a lot to say about this match other than it’s a brutal out for North America’s lone remaining side, FlyQuest. Gen.G is seen as the favorite to win Worlds heading into the Knockout Stage, and it would be surprising to see them drop a map against a far inferior opponent.
