T1 vs Bilibili Gaming in League of Legends Worlds 2024 Grand Final: Who will win the Summoner's Cup?
It's nothing short of a miracle that T1 bounced back from all of its lows before entering the League of Legends Worlds 2024. The team lost the LCK Spring final against Gen.G and finished third in the Summer split. Furthermore, T1 was on the verge of not qualifying for Worlds as it barely won against KT Rolster in the LCK Regional Finals.
However, following the first game at LoL Worlds 2024, T1 quickly gathered momentum, much like it had done in the previous two years. With consecutive victories against prominent teams, the reigning champions are now stepping into the final test.
T1's most impressive players in this LoL Worlds have been the Botlane duo of Gumayusi and Keria. The latter picked Pyke against both Top Esports and Gen.G and utterly outclassed the opponent. Meanwhile, Gumayusi's positioning and team fights have been immaculate thus far. As a consequence, T1 should have the upper hand against BLG in terms of the Botlane 2v2 matchup.

On the other hand, Bilibili Gaming has also enjoyed an exceptional campaign at League of Legends Worlds 2024. Following tough losses against LNG Esports and T1 in the Swiss Stage, LPL first seed BLG was close to leaving the tournament. However, the team quickly stationed Xun in the Jungle role instead of Wei in its subsequent matches.
The difference was prominent, as BLG defeated PSG Talon and G2 Esports to qualify for the Playoff Stage. Following that, the squad defeated LCK's first seed Hanwha Life Esports, and LPL giants Weibo Gaming in dominant fashion.
BLG's Midlaner, knight, is in great form, and his flexibility with the champion pool is also impeccable. He has picked 12 different champions so far in this LoL Worlds and showcased pristine performances.
The winning formula for BLG in the Grand Final should be focusing on its Top-Jungle duo of Bin and Xun. The former has immense carry potential and can be a menace to T1 with picks such as Jax, Rumble, and Gnar. However, the Worlds 2023 MVP, T1's Zeus, can also change the flow of any matches on his own. Nevertheless, it'd be a treat to watch these two legendary Toplaners go head-to-head at the pinnacle of LoL esports.
Prediction: T1 is expected to win 3-1 against Bilibili Gaming.
T1 vs Bilibili Gaming: Head-to-head record
Both of these teams played six times against each other previously across both the Worlds and Mid-Season Invitational. T1 and BLG share three victories apiece. Notably, BLG never lost against T1 in a best-of-five series. On the other hand, T1 has never lost against an LPL team in the LoL Worlds Playoff Stage.
During the Grand Finals media day, BLG's Toplaner was asked about his confidence going into the match:
"I think even though T1 has always beaten LPL teams at Worlds, I don’t care about it. Because our win rate against T1 in best-of-five matches is 100%. So we are going to take them down easily. We will 3-0 them tomorrow."
