Longest Single Game Duration at Worlds: 45:00 – 49:59
Why do we think the longest game at Worlds 2024 will last 45:00-49:59? Because the last few Worlds and most of the recent LCK/LPL series had the longest matches that fit that time frame. The teams are better at snowballing than ever, and there is a very low chance it will go above that.
However, you can be daring and go for 44:59 or less, but note that T1 is choking this year and won’t go down without a fight, which will bring us long games, especially against comparable teams like Dplus KIA, LNG, and Weibo.
How Many Pentakills Will Be at Worlds: 2
Jinx isn’t being picked much, but there are other champs that have Pentakill potential in the current meta, namely Kai’Sa, Jhin, Smolder, Corki, Tristana, and Zeri. Plus, there will be a lot of fiestas in the Play-ins, and we’ll be willing to gamble that there will be at least one penta right there. For the Main Event, we hope that old reliable GALA will get one or if not him, then Peyz or Viper.
Which Drake Will Be Killed the Most at Worlds: Cloud
Drakes are very much RNG. However, our guess is that a low-priority drake, such as Cloud or Chemtech, will be killed the most. That’s because we believe teams will be most inclined to trade them for other objectives and, in turn, prolong souls. You can also go with Infernal or Hextech because they’re the highest-priority souls; it’s up to you, really.
How Many Baron Steals Will Be at Worlds: 6-8
Oner is one of the best Baron stealers in the world, and we’re betting on him to get at least half of our 6-8 prediction. Again, remember that T1 is struggling, and they will definitely have a few clutch series during their run. Plus, Maokai, Lillia, and Nidalee are all priority picks right now with great steal potential.
How Many Reverse Sweeps in BO5s Will Be at Worlds: 0
Reverse sweeps rarely happen in BO5s, and our guess is that there will be 0 at LoL Worlds 2024. As stochastic_roaming pointed out on Reddit for last year’s Pick’em, there is a below 50% chance for one to happen any year, and judging by the quality of this year’s rosters, we don’t think any of them would allow one to occur.
Who Will Be Played in the Most Different Roles at Worlds: Poppy
Poppy is a giga flex pick, together with Maokai, Zeri, Smolder, etc. However, because she is more reliable outside of the jungle than Maokai and more people play her than the other flex champs, she is our pick for the champion played in the most different roles at Worlds 2024.
Who Will Be Picked the Most at Worlds: K’Sante / Rell
K’Sante and Rell are the most common picks in the last patch in pro play, except for Corki and Ziggs, who we think will fall off in priority for worlds. We’ll give an advantage to K’Sante as it’s a comfort pick for so many top laners.Other good choices are Jhin and Maokai.
Who Will Be Banned the Most at Worlds: Aurora
Aurora will be available for Worlds 2024, and we’re guessing that most teams won’t risk having her in the pool. Other good bans that will be common are champs that the best players are comfortable with, such as Syndra, Smolder, and Azir.
Who Will Have the Most Total Deaths at Worlds: Leona / Rell
Supports die the most overall, and Leona and Rell are the most picked of them all right now. We chose Leona, as she is more prone to suicide than Rell. You can also go with Nautilus or Alistar, but they aren’t being picked as much.
Who Will Have the Highest Win Rate at Worlds: Yone / Jhin
Yone is being spammed by so many mid-laners right now, the same way Jhin is by ADCs. Both are very solid picks that can often alone win games with a good ultimate. They are also the two most played + highest win rate champions in the last patch in pro play.
Who Will Play the Most Different Champs at Worlds: Keria / Zeus
Keria has the deepest champion pool of all supports at Worlds, and as we reiterated above, T1 will probably play long series, securing him more overall picks than some other players. You can also go with a top laner who likes to experiment, like Zeus or Kiin, but Keria is generally more reliable.
Who Will Get the Most Kills in a Single Game at Worlds: Aiming
Aiming has consistently delivered high-kill games throughout the LCK Summer season, carrying Dplus KIA to a Worlds 2024 spot. Peyz is also a viable pick, but Gen.G spreads their kills much more evenly than Dplus KIA.
Who Will Have the Highest KDA at Worlds: Peyz / Chovy
Peyz had by far the highest KDA in the LCK throughout 2024 and also at MSI 2024. He just knows how to position in teamfights and in lane and rarely dies for no reason. On the other hand, Chovy is also a solid pick.
Who Will Get the Most First Bloods at Worlds: Wei
In general, people who will get the most First Blood kills are junglers, top laners, and ADCs. That’s mostly because first bloods happen as a result of invades, tower dives, 1v1s of cocky top laners, or 2v2s of cocky bot duos.
Now, our guess is that it’s going to be a jungler and the more aggressive they are, and the fewer tanks they play, the better. So, Wei, Kanavi, Tian, and Canyon are all viable picks. We chose Wei as he is one of the most aggro junglers right now. You can also go with one of the players that did it the most last year.
Who Will Get at Least One Pentakill at Worlds: Peyz
GALA and Aiming come to mind when it comes to pentas, but Peyz is in such good form and has already racked up three this season, including one at MSI against BLG. You can also go with some of the other ADCs like Viper or JackeyLove but know that neither of them has gotten a penta this year.
Which Team From Region With 2 Seeds or Less Will Advance the Furthest at Worlds: PSG Talon
PSG Talon has been on an insane roll this year in the PCS, having over 90% win rate throughout the split. They also performed well at this year’s MSI, and we expect them to perform well at the Worlds, too.
Which Team Will Win the Shortest Game at Worlds: Gen.G
The team with the shortest game will most probably be from LCK or the LPL. Now, the biggest stompers of them all are Gen.G, who had a 30:12 average game time length in 2024. Therefore, they are a pretty good pick. You can also go with Hanwha or Bilibili if you like them more.
Which Team Will Have the Most Baron Steals at Worlds: T1
As we outlined above, Oner is one of the most prolific Baron stealers in League history. So, we’re confident that the team with the most Baron steals at Worlds 2024 will be T1. Other teams that might struggle, like Dplus KIA and Weibo, are also viable picks.
Which Team Will Win Worlds 2024: Hanwha Life Esports
Guessing who will win Worlds 2024 is really hard, especially with so many good teams out there. Our top picks are Hanwha, Gen.G, and Bilibili. However, upsets are always possible, and teams like Dplus KIA, T1, Top Esports, LNG, Weibo, and G2 shouldn’t be crossed out too soon.
Which Team Will Play the Most Different Champs at Worlds: T1
Even though Faker has minimized his champ pool in recent months, all other of his teammates seem to have expanded theirs. Keria, Zeus, and Oner are experimenting with champs they aren’t comfortable with and should be prepared to pull them out and surprise their opponents at Worlds. Therefore, our pick for the team with the most different champs picked at Worlds 2024 is T1.
