BLG may have struggled throughout the Swiss Stage at Worlds 2024, but they are still the best LPL team at Worlds.

The last time WBG faced off against BLG was during the LPL Summer Finals, where BLG ran away with a quick 3-0 victory. History may very well repeat itself, only this time at Worlds.

T1 had a far better showing in the Quarterfinals of Worlds 2024 than Gen.G did, that much is certain.

That being said, Gen.G came into the tournament as the biggest favorites to take home the Worlds trophy. Moreover, Gen.G has dominated T1 all year long, with the two teams' head-to-head  for 2024 being 11-3 in favor of Gen.G.

Faker's unrivaled Worlds experience may be enough for T1 to conquer their LCK rivals, but the truth is that this match could swing anyone's way in the end.

Stay tuned on Strafe for a detailed preview on the upcoming games.

Keep an eye on your picks!

If you want any chance at securing the Worlds 2024 Viego skin, which will be the ultimate reward for the Worlds 2024 Pick'Em challenge, then it's important that you pay close attention to how teams perform.

To catch all of the Semifinals action at Worlds 2024, tune in to the official Twitch and Youtube channels for the tournament.

Locke the Ashen Exorcist: Inside the Design, Lore, and Visual Identity of League of Legends' Newest Champion

Riot Games is no stranger to ambitious champion releases, but the latest addition to the League of Legends roster carries a particularly distinct energy. Locke, the Ashen Exorcist, is a Demacian AP assassin built for the midlane, and from the very first glimpse of his concept art, it's clear the design team had a strong, unified vision for who he is and what he represents.

Locke in League of Legends: Abilities, Playstyle, Release Date

Riot’s newest champion, Corvin Locke, arrives as a nail-slinging exorcist versed in forbidden rites, shaped by a childhood steeped in Demacian lies and hypocrisy. Born to Demacian occultists, Locke grew up learning a brutal lesson: demons are not the source of humanity’s darkness, but its consequence. That belief drives his mission now—to tear through every soul, expose its hidden rot, and make the world a little more honest, one exorcism at a time.
