Weibo Gaming is no stranger to the international stage, as they were the finalists last year ultimately losing against T1. Xiaohu, Crisp, and Light are experienced veterans within the esports scene, with 2 of them being international champions. However they have slowly but surely lost their grasp around both the meta and the gameplay style.
The true sign of a team slowing down, is their early game presence. During the 2024 LPL Regional Tournament, WBG recorded -244 gold differential and a 37% tower rate before 15 minutes. It is fair to say most of their champion picks are not equipped to gain early game pressure, with their main focus being scaling in order to use their experience in the mid game.
However, a young and energetic Gen.G squad should not let them scale scott free. Thus we expect a bit of a mix up when it comes to Weibo’s draft phases at Worlds 2024. With Xiaohu favorites like Orianna and Syndra back in the meta, we could see the Chinese squad default back to 2v2 skirmish setups in the mid lane.
Odds stand at 3.74 for Weibo Gaming to take the match, strongly suggesting their underdog status for this year.

Gen.G’s international woes are no secret to the LoL community, with the Korean squad normally being domestic bullies but not showing up when it matters at Worlds. Nevertheless, if there is a tournament where they can actually win it all, is Worlds 2024.
Chovy and company absolutely demolished their domestic competition, finishing the season 17-1. You might be asking… What is different this time around? Well, let me tell you. Gen.G has adapted incredibly well to the different metas throughout the season, previous year this lack of creativity has been their demise. From AD mid laners to utility based bottom lanes, Gen.G has tried it all this season, in order to become unpredictable once Worlds rolled down the corner.
Ultimately, Gen.G is considered the favorite to not only win this matchup but Worlds as a whole. However this first matchup will serve as a starting point for things to come, either good or bad. Odds stand at 1.21 for Gen.G to take the match home, showcasing just how dominant they are expected to be.
