D-Plus Kia and T1 will pass the 2024 League of Legends World Championship LCK 메이저사이트 national team selection match and represent LCK with Hanwha Life e-Sports and Gen.G to conquer the world.
League of Legends Champions Korea (hereinafter “LCK”), which hosts the Korean professional league of “LoL” esports, said it has obtained a ticket to the world championship in Europe as D+ Kia and T1 survived in the selection match for the LCK national team of the 2024 LoL World Championship at LCK Arena in Roll Park, Jongno-gu, Seoul, for three days from Thursday to Saturday.
D-Plus Kia, which ranked third and fourth in this year’s Summer regular league, respectively, faced off on Tuesday. The two teams engaged in a slugfest by exchanging one set each, and all sets played for more than 30 minutes in the process of reaching the fourth set. In the fifth set, D-Plus Kia faced a disadvantageous situation in the beginning by allowing T1 to kill three times, but displayed concentration in a large-scale battle, and thus achieved come-from-behind victory and qualification as the third seed in LCK.
In the final match held on the 13th (Friday), KT Rollster played without a big crisis against BNK Pierx and won the set score 3-0, fighting T1 on the 14th for one remaining ticket.
Like rivals of telecommunications companies, the two teams staged a fierce battle. If T1 wins the first set, KT Rolster wins the second set, and if T1 wins the third set, KT Rolster wins the fourth set, KT Rolster wins the fifth set. In the fifth set, T1 was swayed by KT Rolster’s strategy of targeting top liner “Jeus” Choi Woo-je’s Yone, and fell behind by 2-7, but ended the match with a landslide victory at the battle of Baroness Nasser.
D-Plus Kia, which will compete in the world championship as the third seed, set the record for the most consecutive appearances among LCK teams by competing in the world championship for six consecutive years from 2019 to this year. T1, which has a record of four-time world championships, will play in its ninth world championship while securing the fourth seed, and mid-liner “Faker” Lee Sang-hyuk has set a record for the most appearances among LoL esports players in the world.
The 2024 LoL World Championship will kick off with the play-in stage on Saturday (local time). The four teams representing LCK will compete from the Swiss stage, the round of 16.
