Recently, more information about the EWC 2024 tournament. Specifically, it is the schedule of the tournament and according to the information, EWC will be held in the period from July 3 to August 25. Worth mentioning, this period is exactly the time of the summer tournament of the areas. Even with some large areas, this period can be considered as the climax of the first leg, so that the teams create a good premise for the second leg of the decision. The summer stage for League of Legends teams is also the time to decide the rate of attending Worlds.
The schedule has just been announced
Perhaps that is why, many teams are not too “salty” with EWC 2024. And this leads to League of Legends, although it is a “national MOBA game” but the schedule at EWC 2024 is extremely limited. Accordingly, although League of Legends is the most famous Esports game in the world, the schedule is only in week 1, and ends there. Even, a game that is always considered a “counterweight” with League of Legends is Dota 2 also has a schedule that lasts from week 1 over the 3rd week. It is worth mentioning that, even in week 1, LoL also had to divide the schedule with other subjects such as Dota 2, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and TBA.
“And then LoL has only 1/4 of Week 1?”
Not to mention, the tournament organized abroad is from 4 large areas (LCK, LPL, LEC, LCS) may also be a big obstacle. The teams will have to move a long distance, then return. If accidentally confirmed the participating teams (such as T1 or Bilibili Gaming) have a schedule with direct competitors for the 2024 Worlds, the rush schedule like this can affect the achievements of the above teams in the domestic league.
In fact, no one knows whether T1 will be relieved or not because EWC 2024 will coincide with the summer LCK time
With the published schedule, perhaps for League of Legends teams such as T1 or BLG, it will have to have reasonable calculations for the upcoming EWC 2024. Earlier, there was information about EWC's bonuses for League of Legends not really high (about $ 1 million). The schedule factor is also unfavorable, the possibility of the famous League of Legends teams such as T1 “The mind of switching” is entirely possible.
