The knockout stage of the 2024 League of Legends World Championship is upon us, setting the stage for intense battles as eight teams vie for a shot at the trophy. With finals in London just around the corner, fans are eager to see who will emerge victorious.

This year’s tournament has been filled with surprises from the beginning, from a CBLOL team qualifying for the main stage to no EMEA teams qualifying for the knockout stage after G2 Esports were also eliminated. Other minor regions also fell short despite impressive showings throughout the tournament, like GAM Esports, who eliminated MAD Lions KOI in the Swiss stage. And the cherry on top has to be FlyQuest keeping Western hopes alive.
