The 2024 League of Legends World Championship was an esports tournament for the multiplayer online battle arena video game League of Legends. It was the fourteenth iteration of the League of Legends World Championship, an annual international tournament organised by the game's developer, Riot Games. The tournament was held from 25 September to 2 November in Berlin, Paris, and London. It marked the fifth time Europe has hosted the tournament, having held the event in 2011, 2015, 2019, and 2021.[a] Twenty teams qualified for the event based on placement within their regional leagues and results gained in the 2024 Mid-Season Invitational (MSI).[2]
The finals took place on 2 November at The O2 Arena in London, where T1 of the League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) successfully defended their title after defeating Bilibili Gaming of the League of Legends Pro League (LPL) 3–2 to win the organization's record-extending fifth World Championship.[3][4]
Qualification
The League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) and League of Legends Pro League (LPL) will have three directly qualified teams to the Swiss stage, while the League of Legends EMEA Championship (LEC) and League Championship Series (LCS) will have two directly qualified teams. The 2024 Mid-Season Invitational champion, Gen.G, earned automatic qualification to the Swiss stage[b], also counting as the additional seed for the LCK. The LPL, as the runner-up region, also earned an additional spot. Four teams from the play-in stage will also qualify to the Swiss stage.[2][5]
Eight teams qualifed for the play-in stage: The top two teams of the Pacific Championship Series (PCS) 2024 Summer playoffs, the top two teams of the Vietnam Championship Series (VCS) 2024 Summer playoffs, the third place teams in the LCS Championship and LEC Season Finals, the Campeonato Brasileiro de League of Legends (CBLOL) 2024 Split 2 champion, and the Liga Latinoamérica (LLA) 2024 Closing Split champion.
This will be the final World Championship where teams from the PCS and VCS qualify for the tournament individually, as they will merge (alongside the League of Legends Japan League (LJL) and League of Legends Circuit Oceania (LCO)) to form a new Asia-Pacific league in 2025 called League of Legends Championship Pacific (LCP).[6] Additionally, the LCS, CBLOL and LLA will be merging under the newly formed League of Legends Championship of The Americas (LTA), which has separated North (LTA North) and South (LTA South) Conferences held in three different splits, with each split held with different formation such as double-elimination tournament and even the "Pick & Play" system that allows teams to select their opponents.[7]

The video also featured players from the winners of major professional regions during the Spring and Summer Splits, such as Gen.G's Jeong "Chovy" Ji-hoon of the LCK, Bilibili Gaming's Chen "Bin" Zebin of the LPL, G2 Esports's Rasmus "Caps" Winther of the LEC, and FlyQuest's Fahad "Massu" Abdulmalek of the LCS. Diego "Brance" Amaral of the CBLOL's Red Canids was also included, despite the team not qualifying for the tournament.[13]
Despite being on tour for their at-the-time upcoming album From Zero,[14] Linkin Park performed the song as part of the opening ceremony for the final between Bilibili Gaming and T1.[15] They previously performed at the O2 Arena for their album tour, during which they performed the same track.[16]
