The most "valuable" moment of the first quarterfinals of the 2024 World Championship, does not belong to the match at all

The first Quarterfinal match of the 2024 World Championship should not have been anything too outstanding, but there was one moment that was "worth the money".


The most notable moment in the first Quarterfinals of the 2024 World Championship was not in the match


After many days of rest between rounds, Worlds 2024 returned with the first Quarterfinal match, an "LPL civil war" between LNG Esports and Weibo Gaming - two names that also have many fates. LNG's first BO5 win this year was a 3-0 win over WBG to win the right to go to Worlds 2024. In addition, Tarzan is a former member of LNG who attended last year's Worlds and is considered a weakness that makes LNG absolutely lost against T1.


The first Quarterfinal match of Worlds 2024 witnessed a surprise when undefeated LNG was defeated relatively easily.


The match was partly one-sided in favor of WBG and a victory for the reigning World Championship 2023 runner-up was predictable. However, the remarkable situation happened behind the scenes. Specifically, Coach Daeny, in excitement, jumped up from his chair and celebrated with his colleagues. But in just a few seconds, the former T1 coach's momentum disappeared when he witnessed Scout make a sweep of 3 WBG members. Coach Daeny's face and rapidly changing attitude made League of Legends audiences extremely excited.


WBG has proven how difficult Worlds 2024 will be


Returning to the match, coach Daeny's WBG showed a completely different side from themselves in the Swiss round, especially in the winning games. An overwhelming position or a balanced position can be well controlled by WBG. Even in game 1 when LNG had certain advantages, WBG only needed 1 correct Baron phase and everything was back in the hands of Xiaohu and his teammates. WBG's victory is an example that Worlds 2024 is really difficult, even for the championship candidates.

No one thought that an LNG team in good form could be so weak against the WBG


Therefore, in the upcoming matches, no team will be allowed to be subjective, including Gen.G even though the opponent is FlyQuest. But that's why Worlds is the most worth-watching tournament of the year and winning the tournament is truly the dream of every professional League of Legends player.
