At MSC 2022 and 2023, we saw 2,8 million and 3,6 million peak viewership numbers, respectively. However, MSC 2024 saw only 2.3 million at its peak, which came during the stellar grand final. Even so, these numbers are huge and tell another story within the context of the EWC.
FCON was the first to break through, taking down XYG without much issue in the first series.
We are thrilled to partner with the Esports World Cup Foundation and go beyond our horizons to Riyadh.

G2 took on Viego, Aphelios, Braume, Zoe and Fiora. An LoL Esports tweet sums up this moment rather nicely: The Baron did not go to waste.

In this case, G2 took the win, and T1 had to finally eat humble pie. Lets go over the match. The match hadnt even started yet, but we were already promised some fairly entertaining teamfights. This game hit the ground running....
Royal Never Give Up chose the best option available to them. They went 5-5 in the Rumble stage and thus finished fourth. Everybody wants a Cinderella story to happen and EG just so happens to be that Disney princess. They have already been down this road twice so they know what it takes to get the job done.
