Fantasy LoL Worlds: How To Build A Winning Team

In this guide, we will give you some tips for building your own fantasy LoL Worlds team.

How do you build a winning fantasy team? What do you need to consider when playing Fantasy LoL with real money? First of all, you need to understand how the LoL Worlds event works.

LoL Worlds Event Preview

The 2024 League of Legends World Championship will take place across Berlin, Paris, and London from September 25 to November 2. The event will include the best 20 teams around the world and it will be divided into three stages: Play-Ins, Groups (Swiss Stage), and Knockouts.

The new play-ins features eight teams divided into two groups, including Latin America, Brazil, PCS, and the last seeds of LEC and LCS.

The two groups will face off in a double-elimination bracket, with the four best teams going to the Swiss stage.

The new Swiss stage will consist of 16 teams: 12 from NA, KR, CN, and Europe and four from Play-Ins. They will be split into four groups with teams being matched based on a draw every round. Aside from Round 1, which will be based on seeding (#1 vs #4 and #2 and #3), the following matches will see teams with the same score going against one another. This opens up to more cross-regional matchups, as well as the possibility to see more action given that the elimination series are Bo3.

The top eight then heads to the Knockout stage in a single-elimination bracket, each consisting of a Bo5 series. The last team standing will then become the League of Legends world champion.

Tips To Build A Winning Team

Ahead of Worlds, here are tips to build a winning team in fantasy LoL.

Budget Management

Users are initially given a fixed salary cap to fill their lineup for Draftkings esports matches. This means they must be flexible in deciding their lineup.

Selecting the hottest player doesn’t hurt, but it’s unwise if you depend solely on them for an entire season. Choosing consistent players or stacking teammates are better options as they provide a decent stream of points during matches.

As with every competition, budget management will be vital in your fantasy League of Legends Worlds predictions.

Keep Track of Player Performance

Should you decide to stick with a player for a season, it’s paramount to keep constant track of their performance.

LoL Worlds fantasy is a difficult game to predict with respect to its high volatility like traditional sports. Players can also arise and collapse at supersonic speed, so you must be wary of hanging with them for too long.

Top 3 LoL Worlds Teams

Here are the best teams to look out for in fantasy LoL Worlds.

Gen.G

Gen.G has been the tournament favorites for the entire season, having put together the best top side trio in the world with Kiin, Canyon, and Chovy. Each player is arguably the best individually in their respective roles, and with a solid ADC that is no longer a rookie like Peyz, as well as MSI FMVP Lehends, there are all the elements needed to succeed. That said, every time a team is heavily favored, the results don’t end up going as expected. Will Gen.G break the curse and win both international trophies in 2024?

HLE

The newest LCK champions come into Worlds with a stacked line up of veterans. With Doran, Peanut, and Viper leading the way, it wouldn’t be surprising to see HLE gunning for a title this year. It will depend on the meta and whether team gets a good meta read, but the potential is there, having it shown by taking down Gen.G in Summer. Keep HLE in mind in your LoL Worlds betting.

BLG

If Korean teams are usually hot contenders, there is always an LPL team that follows them closely. And this year, that team is BLG, who put together the best lineup possible of domestic players. With Knight joining in, and the jungle duo of Wei and Xun, there is a good chance to see BLG shine with different team compositions and setups.

That being said, it ultimately comes down to how teams read the meta and adjust over throughout the tournament. Picks and bans at Worlds can open up big advantages and that can be the difference maker, both in positive as well as in negative, for the best teams in the world.
