The second quarterfinal of League of Legends Worlds 2024 will see Hanwha Life Esports and Bilibili Gaming, the Summer Split champions from the LCK and the LPL respectively, battle each another. This best-of-five knockout series will takes place on October 18. The winner will proceed to the semifinals and face off against LPL's Weibo Gaming, who defeated LNG Esports 3-1 in the other quarterfinal showdown.
Hanwha Life Esports (HLE) finished the LoL Worlds Swiss stage with a 3-1 record, while Bilibili Gaming (BLG) qualified for the knockout stage after a tough Swiss Stage run of three wins and two losses.
This article takes a closer look at HLE and BLG's most recent results before their thrilling quarterfinal League of Legends Worlds 2024 matchup.
Hanwha Life Esports vs Bilibili Gaming in League of Legends Worlds 2024 Quarterfinals: Who is the best number one seed?
Hanwha Life Esports was considered the second-best team in the LCK earlier this year, with GenG Esports almost always ahead of them. However, the narrative shifted during the LCK Summer Grand Final when HLE finally triumphed and won the trophy.
Heading into the League of Legends Worlds 2024, HLE didn't have to face any of the Eastern region's strongest teams. They comfortably defeated PSG Talon in the first game and secured an important win against G2 Esports in the subsequent matchup.
Later, HLE was drawn against GenG again, this time in a best-of-three series. However, GenG emerged victorious, qualifying for the LoL Worlds playoffs. Meanwhile, HLE faced North America's FlyQuest for a chance to qualify for the playoffs. It was an electrifying series, with HLE showcasing great resilience to win 2-1.
With the current LoL meta in the team's favor, HLE's Midlaner Zeka has been impeccable using melee champions such as Yone and Sylas. ADC Viper has also been impactful with picks like Xayah, Ashe, Kai'Sa, and more.
Meanwhile, Bilibili Gaming dominated the regional Summer Split and comfortably won the championship. Like Hanwha Life Esports in the LCK, BLG is the first seed from the LPL in the League of Legends Worlds 2024. However, the team's journey has not been smooth.
After a straightforward win against Europe's MAD Lions KOI, BLG lost the next two matches against LNG Esports (LPL) and T1 (LCK). With their backs against the wall, the team decided to start Xun in the Jungle role instead of Wei to give itself the best chance in the impending elimination matches.
Despite some tough matches, BLG won both of their subsequent series against PSG Talon and G2 Esports, 2-1. With them now in the playoffs, fans are eager to see how they will perform in the Summoner's Rift and what new strategies they will use.
Prediction: BLG is expected to win 3-2 against HLE.
