T1 vs Top Esports in the League of Legends Esports World Cup 2024 Grand Final: Who will become the champion?
T1 has been struggling a lot in the regional LCK split, as the team has already lost two series; and the matches the team was winning were not clinical at all. Analysts considered Gen.G or Bilibili Gaming the tournament favorites, with T1 far from the conversation.
However, with a nail-biting victory over Bilibili Gaming in the Quarterfinal, T1 once again showed its prowess on an international stage. Although Team Liquid won the first game in the Semifinal, the South Korean representative bounced back to win two consecutive games to reach the final.
The team's legendary Midlaner Faker performed quite extraordinarily with his Tristana and Taliyah picks against Team Liquid. Notably, the Toplaner Zeus' recent Zeri picks have been pretty impactful against some tank champions like K'Sante.
Top Esports, on the other hand, is playing some of the best League of Legends right now. All five players are on the same page. Especially the team's Jungler Tian is having a great tournament. His front-line capabilities with tank champions have been a key factor in Top Esports' success in team fights.
Following a dominant victory against Gen.G, Top Esports outclassed G2 in the Semifinal with a 2-0 victory. Both games were over within thirty minutes, as Top's macro gameplay and late-game team fights were impeccable.
It'd be a sight to watch the T1 vs Top Esports clash. There are multiple League of Legends Worlds winners in both teams, each capable of turning the tide on their own. Furthermore, it's going to be a best-of-five series, so fans can expect it's not going to be a one-sided battle.
Prediction: T1 is expected to win 3-1 against Top Esports.
