8 reasons to watch Worlds 2021

I welcome everyone. The main tournament of the year starts tomorrow, namely Worlds 2021. The teams went to this event for a whole year, but unfortunately not all of the favorites, such as G2, Top Esports and JD Gaming, were able to qualify for the World Cup, but this makes it more interesting, as we will see more new teams.

Today I will give you some good reasons "why you should watch Worlds 2021" and tell you which teams, in my opinion, could surprise us this year. Let's get started!

A holiday for all players

First of all, Worlds is a celebration. A lot of gifts from Riot Games, as well as a wonderful atmosphere of the championship, recreated in the client and the game itself, thanks to the design from the developers. Lots of communities and content makers run big giveaways to win juicy prizes, so don't miss the opportunity and participate in whatever activities you can find.

Confrontation between LCK and LPL

Korea and China have dominated the global competitive scene. This is especially true this year as two of the top three contenders (FPX and EDG) are from the LPL and the reigning champions, DAMWON KIA, will represent LCK. However, we will not have to wait for the later stages of the tournament to see this confrontation, since already in the Play-In stage, the opening match of the entire World Cup will be LNG Esports against Hanwha Life Esports. The forecast for this meeting is already here.

DAMWON KIA and FunPlus Phoenix on the way to the second trophy

Continuing the theme of the confrontation between LCK and LPL, it is worth saying that both DWG and FPX can win the second World Championship trophy in the history of their organization, but for the Koreans this victory will be more prestigious, since it will be the second cup in a row. So far, only T1 have such an achievement in their piggy bank, and this Worlds is a great chance for two teams to approach the legendary record.

The lions went hunting

MAD Lions confirmed their status as the strongest team in the European region and silenced all those who doubted them after winning the spring split. Elyoya and Armut fit perfectly into the team and strengthened the team that was strong before, but now MAD just shone. A year ago, together with Shadow and Orome, they could not get out of the Play-In stage and took 18-20 place, and now they do not need to earn the right to play in the group stage. In just two years, the organization has gone from the second division to the World Championship, but will they be able to take the trophy for themselves?

LCS: When if not now?

Many do not believe that the Americas can cause problems for the rest of the teams, but in my opinion, this time LCS brought really strong teams: 100 Thieves led by Abbedagge, Team Liquid, who solved all their problems with the roster, and Cloud9 with Perkz. who is very greedy for victories. Perhaps this is one of the best chances for the American region to declare itself and go very far.

Japan asserts itself

DetonatioN FocusMe performed very well at MSI 2021, although they did not make it out of the group. They managed to beat Cloud9 and didn't have enough to defeat DAMWON KIA. The Japanese imposed a very sharp struggle on all the teams and now they will again represent the LJL at the international tournament. DFM has already had the experience of playing at Worlds several times, but so far they have never looked as confident as they do now. Will they show the same sharp game this time?

Is PCS the fifth major region?

Representatives of PCS for several tournaments in a row declare themselves as strong participants and sometimes perform even better than representatives of Europe and America. Perhaps if PSG Talon and Beyond Gaming perform well, then Riot Games will have to think about making PCS the fifth major region alongside LPL, LCK, LEC and LCS.

Will Faker show itself?

Faker and his team, T1, are not going through the best of times right now: DAMWON KIA has taken a dominant position in the LCK, and competition in the championship itself is much stronger than in previous years. However, Faker became 3 times World Champion for a reason, and this time he managed to qualify for the Worlds with a new roster. Will he be able to earn the 4th title for himself and the first for his teammates?

These were the most objective and main reasons for watching Worlds 2021, in my opinion. Why are you watching the main event of the year? Leave your comment and do not forget that you can find the predictions for each Worlds 2021 match here. See you!
