Gen.G are the leading candidates to win the tournament and priced as 1.25 favourites to defeat Weibo Gaming on the best crypto betting sites. The Chinese side enter this series as 3.80 underdogs, which is quite a significant price difference for a game featuring two world-class teams.

Gen.G Form

Gen.G are, along with Bilibili Gaming, the leading favourites to win LoL Worlds 2024. That, considering their accomplishments this season, is not shocking.

Gen.G were by far the most dominant team of LoL Champions Korea (LCK) 2024 this season, which is not a small feat. While they did not win the LCK 2024 Summer Playoffs, their performance numbers throughout the entire season are elite – proving this might be the best LoL esports team to enter the world championship since DAMWON Gaming in 2020.

That said, the betting sites have priced Gen.G at very short odds. That, however, is not too surprising, as Gen.G have not closed above 1.34 since Week 1 of LCK 2024 Summer when they faced off and beat T1.

Weibo Gaming made it to the LoL World Championship 2024 as LPL's fourth seed. They did not win a single trophy this season and were particularly disappointing in the LPL 2024 Spring, but then found a lot more success in the summer split.

Weibo Gaming placed second in the LPL 2024 Summer Playoffs and edged past JD Gaming (3-2) in the LPL 2024 Regional Finals. While WBG failed to produce as excellent results as Gen.G, this is still an elite team, who have done incredibly well against LPL's top sides.

Qualitatively, WBG are still weaker than Gen.G, mainly because they're not as stable. However, having them priced as 3.80 is really pushing it a bit.

Verdict

Gen.G v Weibo Gaming

Gen.G have been essentially unstoppable this season, whether they faced weaker or LCK's top sides. So it makes sense for them to be priced as favourites for this series, yet at 1.25, it is very hard to make a strong case for them.

Weibo Gaming are not a consistent team, and they tend to be very unreliable as favourites. But due to their high ceiling, Weibo Gaming are excellent outsider pick, as they can, on a good day, beat anyone.
