The League of Legends 2024 Mid-Season Invitational Bracket Stage has begun with everything on the line for the remaining 4 teams. This stage will include a single Bo5 double-elimination format so we can expect a banger series from the get-go.
With that being said, we will be taking a look at the second Bo5 series between the LCK second seed- T1 as they will face the LEC first seed- G2 Esports.
Although most fans and analysts predict the LPL and LCK to dominate the tournament, a recent interview with the top laner for TES, 369, stated how much the Western players have improved in comparison to their last year's performance.
