T1 has difficulty in the first match EWC 2024 but the audience only cares about an important detail

As is known, in early July, the Esports community in general and League of Legends in particular will welcome the 2024 Esports World Cup tournament for the first time held in Dubai, Saudi Arabia. Particularly for League of Legends, the tournament will gather strong teams of 4 Major areas. Thus, the EWC 2024 tournament will almost recreate the new MSI 2024 that takes place a while ago. Many viewers also said that the results may be no different from MSI 2024 in Chengdu, especially when Gen.G is showing a destructive form as at the moment.

However, for T1 alone, EWC 2024 is also difficult to win the title. Because, even in the match, Faker and his teammates had to encounter an extremely difficult opponent, which was Bilibili Gaming. Despite the name “LPL's Slayer”, but from 2023 to the present, T1 has only won BLG once at a BO3 at Worlds 2023. The remaining, Faker and his teammates all lost, the most recent defeat was at the final of the MSI 2024.

But for League of Legends audience, there is a more concerned factor that the community is that the matches will only take place in the form of BO3, excluding the semi -finals and finals. However, in this round, the team that loses will eliminate straight and no longer have the opportunity to do it again. According to many comments, the BO3 play will be extremely boring and with a small number of matches, a Bo5 match will be more reasonable to attract the attractiveness for the tournament. However, there are still some comments that BO3 is consistent with the fast nature of this tournament.

In fact, EWC 2024 is a young and unprecedented tournament. Therefore, only inviting top teams, plus neat competition format can be considered as a “test” for later tournaments. Moreover, the teams probably only come to the goal of exchanging, rubbing and building more markets. Therefore, the element of winning and losing probably does not completely decide at EWC this time.
