Following the journey in South Korea, the 2024 World Championship will be returning to Europe after five years with a trio of venues: Berlin, Paris, and London.
The format will stay more or less similar to last year, with the exception that the number of teams has been reduced to 20 as the LJL (Japanese region) lost its direct access to the event and has been moved to the PCS. There won’t be a fourth slot for EU or NA as there won’t be a Worlds Qualifying Series anymore.
The only two regions with four seeds are the LPL and the LCK which was decided with the two regions’ performances at the Mid-Season Invitational earlier this year.
Without further ado, let’s see which are the confirmed representatives, from the major regions to the wild cards.
LCK teams still in contention
Currently, the confirmed LCK teams for Worlds are HLE and Gen.G. Following their Grand Final in the LCK Summer Playoffs, HLE will be the region’s no. 1 representative. Following the LCK regional finals, the last two teams for Wolrds (DK, T1) have been locked in.
LPL teams still in contention
With the recent changes to the LPL summer format, the top four teams to have locked in a spot at Worlds are BiliBili Gaming, Top Esports, LNG Esports, and Weibo Gaming. Following the matches in the LPL Regional Finals, JDG and NIP have been officially eliminated from Worlds contention.
LEC teams still in contention
The LEC Season Finals have ended and all three teams have been locked in. With G2’s victory over Fnatic, they will be the first seed to represent EU at Worlds. MDK will have to compete through the Worlds play-in stage.
LCS teams still in contention
With the upset by 100 Thieves against Cloud9, they will be the third team to represent the LCS at Worlds later this year. The seeding is yet to be decided in the LCS Championship.
Teams still in contention
PSG and LJL’s Softbank Hawks Gaming have locked in the two PCS slots for Worlds. Both will have to go through play-ins on different brackets.
With the end of the VCS Summer split, GAM and Vikings Esports will be representing the Vietnamese region at Worlds. In particular, GAM will also be part of the new APAC league starting next year.
Teams still in contention
After defeating Vivo Keyd Stars in the playoffs final, paiN Gaming will be the last CBLOL team representing Brazil at Worlds. The league will be united with NA to form the Americas League.
With a dominant win over Infinity, Movistar R7 will represent LLA once again this year after attending it in Seoul last season.
