october 3rd is coming soonleague of legendsthe first-round matchup of the swiss round of the 2024 global finals. the opening match of the swiss round will be blg vs. mdk, followed by tes vs. t1, gen vs. wbg and fnc vs. dk. one thing to say, for most players, the swiss round of s14 is the official start of the world championship. the playoffs can really only be said to be appetizers. most teams are just rookies pecking each other. at most, they can add some program effects. that’s all.

and on the first day of the swiss round, the officials were very aware of the popularity. they arranged three duels between the three teams in the lpl division at the beginning, and the timing was also in consideration of the players in the lpl division, which was quite in place. the first is the opening match of the swiss round between blg and mdk. for blg, this start means a steady start! everyone has seen mdk's performance in the finals before. it is not very strong, and blg can be said to be easy to handle.

judging from the prediction index given by the professional e-sports prediction platform before the game, blg's prediction index is 1.07 and mdk's prediction index is 8.52. from this set of data, we can see the gap between the two teams. the biggest variable in this game may be the "line change". blg has already exposed its disadvantages in line changes during msi. if blg still fails to handle the line change problem in this world championship, then it may show signs of failure when encountering strong teams. don't reveal your true strength.

what's interesting is that in a previous interview, mdk mid laner expressed that he wanted to meet knight, he is very strong. as a result, he actually met in the lottery, and his expression was instantly embarrassed. it seems that he also knows the rhythm of being cool when meeting blg!

the second is the focus of the battle between tes and t1. the last time tes and t1 faced off, they still unfortunately lost in the ewc finals. however, during an interview on the swiss media day, ah shui expressed his confidence in utilizing the line-swapping strategy. he said that the lpl uses line-swapping earlier than other regions, so we know how to deal with it. most importantly, ah shui also made harsh words: "t1 is definitely a strong team, but as long as we are well prepared, we can definitely defeat t1."

judging from the prediction index given by the professional e-sports prediction platform before the game, tes's prediction index is 2.03 and t1's prediction index is 1.79. judging from this set of data, more players still feel that t1 has a higher chance of winning. but in fact, the current t1 is not very strong, which can be seen from how bumpy they are in qualifying for the world championship. and in every world championship, t1 is a team that is slow to start, and they are very ignorant about the version at the beginning. they are a team that gets braver with each battle, so tes has the best chance to win against t1 in advance. and zeus feels that the key to facing 369 is not the laning, but who has better development! so tes does have a chance to win t1, as long as creme can withstand faker's offensive!

finally, there is the match between wbg and gen. compared with wbg’s luck last year, this year’s s14 has a headwind start for wbg! judging from the current interviews with players from various competition regions, gen has a relatively thorough understanding of the version during training, and gen is very strong in itself. the most outrageous thing is that some netizens made a self-made picture of the playoff radar chart of xiaohu and chove. the gap between them is clear at a glance.

judging from the prediction index given by the professional e-sports prediction platform before the game, wbg's prediction index is 4.57 and gen's prediction index is 1.20. judging from this set of data, more players are still optimistic about gen's performance. previously, the gen supervisor said that when playing wbg, you only need to be wary of tarzan. it seems that they have also studied the performance of wbg in the playoffs! however, because it is a bo1 format, it is not possible for wbg to "beat the master to death with random punches". what do you think?

as for the duel between fnc and dk, dk undoubtedly has the highest chance of winning. after all, with xu xiu here, the problem is not big. so in the end, who do you think will be the first to get a good start in these four games? feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!
