The draw for the Swiss World Championship 2024 "helps" VCS
After the final match of the Play-In round between PSG Talon - 100 Thieves ended, a series of lucky draws to match up for the first series of matches of the 2024 Swiss World Cup were also made. Although it is only the opening round and each team will have at least 3 "lives" to decide their fate at Worlds 2024, with Riot's new formats, the pairs of matches are completely different in level. The "great China-Korea war" will definitely appear in this round and may affect the teams' plans in the upcoming period.
The 2024 Swiss World Championship series of matches is very noteworthy
However, the lottery tickets can be said to have "helped" GAM Esports to the fullest. Because, by being placed in Pool 4, GAM was certain to face a champion of a Major region in the first match of the Swiss round. And the draw brought GAM to rival FlyQuest. Among the four names, the LCS champion is probably the easiest opponent for GAM. Even many VCS audiences and commentator Hoang Luan were excited. Because, compared to FlyQuest, Hanwha Life Esports, G2 Esports or Bilibili Gaming are all at a very high level.
FlyQuest is said to be the "easiest" opponent for GAM compared to the remaining 3 champions of LCK, LPL or LEC.

Another name also benefited in the first series of matches of the Swiss World Championship 2024
The remaining team also benefits a lot from the draws pointed out by the audience, which is Gen.G - LCK Summer 2024 runner-up. Because, compared to a "negative" opponent, Top Esports, then Weibo Gaming is somewhat easier to deal with for Gen.G. In addition, despite being the 2023 World Championship runner-up, this year's WBG is even weaker than last year and they are only the 4th seed of the LPL. A victory against the LPL representative will not only help Gen.G on their journey to Worlds 2024 but can also create a good psychological premise for Chovy and his teammates.

Gen.G itself, when entering Worlds, always has an indescribable psychological problem, especially when encountering LPL teams. Last season, the mighty Gen.G was sent home by BLG right in the Quarterfinals. And certainly, Gen.G will want a good start to create momentum for the more important journey ahead.
A victory against WBG will create good psychological momentum for Gen.G
In addition to the pair GAM - FLY or the pair Gen.G - WBG, some other notable matches such as T1 - TES or DK - FNC can also contain many surprises. And even though it is only BO1 as well as the first series of matches of the Swiss round, it can be said that the Main Event of Worlds 2024 has started to heat up right from these moments.
