MAD Lions KOI head to their fifth straight World Championship having run third in the LEC Season Finals, where they fell to G2 Esports in the lower-bracket final. MAD started the 2024 season well with a runner-up finish in the winter split before running sixth and eighth in the spring and summer splits, respectively.

Vikings Esports have exploded onto the Vietnamese League of Legends scene, recording back-to-back second-place finishes in the spring and summer splits this season. Vikings ended the regular season of the summer split with only one loss to their name and entered the playoffs as the top seed, ahead of GAM Esports.

Both of these squads enjoyed playing high-kill series throughout their regional splits, so with -120.48 on offer with top esports betting sites for 59.5 total kills, it looks like a great play.

PSG Talon will once again seek to run through the play-in stage at LoL Worlds as they return for their fourth appearance in the last five years. PSG have dominated the PCS in 2024, winning each of the summer and spring playoffs throughout the year, only losing two maps across those runs.

PaiN Gaming will attend their second LoL World Championship and their first since 2015, following a dominant campaign in the CBLOL Split 2. Considering that South American teams have struggled at Worlds in recent years, it appears as though paiN will be up against it from their opening series.

PSG Talon have a wealth of experience on the biggest stage, and they shouldn’t have too much trouble winning this series with a 2-0 scoreline.
