Another week of pro gaming kicks off on September 23, 2024, with League of Legends taking the focus of the esports world.

The League of Legends World Championship will kick off on Wednesday, September 25, with 20 of the world’s best teams taking their place in the season-ending tournament.

Meanwhile, the penultimate event of the Counter-Strike 2 BLAST Premier Series will also begin this week, with the Fall Final being held in Copenhagen, Denmark, from September 25-29.

League of Legends World Championship

The LoL World Championship will be split into three distinct stages: play-in (September 25-29), Swiss (October 3-7 & 10-13), and knockout (October 17-20, 26-27 & November 2).

With the best 12 teams from the top regions advancing to the Swiss stage following their summer split, the remaining eight squads will compete for the final four spots at the main event through the play-in stage.

Following the top two, Hanwha Life Esports (+350), Top Esports (+600), T1 (+600), and LNG Esports (+800) are also kept safe in betting.
