The multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) video game League of Legends had a tournament at the 2024 Esports World Cup, held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from July 4 to 7, 2024. Eight teams took part in this tournament, marketed as Esports World Cup presenting League of Legends, two each from the four major competitive regions – LCS (North America), LEC (EMEA), LCK (Korea) and LPL (China). T1 would win the tournament, beating Top Esports 3-1 in the final.

Format

The eight teams that participate in the tournament were put into a single-elimination bracket, not unlike the one used at the League of Legends World Championship. The only difference to the Worlds bracket was that the quarter-finals and semi-finals were best-of-3 games; the final was a traditional best-of-5 series.

Due to the top 8 teams at each EWC tournament gaining Club Championship points, all 8 teams participating will earn points, with each organization able to qualify for the Club Championship itself (or win the Club Championship should they win the League tournament) if they place in the top 8 in another EWC event.

Invited teams

The eight teams that were invited to the tournament were announced on May 24, 2024. Each of the 4 major competitive regions in League, the LCS, LEC, LCK and LPL, had two teams invited. All eight teams that were invited competed in the 2024 Mid-Season Invitational, having qualified by finishing among the top two teams in their domestic leagues for their spring splits (the LEC had winter and spring splits, with the winners of both splits qualifying for MSI and therefore being invited for the League event at the EWC).
