Welcome to EGamersWorld.
The League of Legends professional scene is gaining momentum in all competitive regions of the world. Among them, of course, is North America, where the LCK Summer 2024 play-offs are heating up.
LCK is one of the top 4 regions of LoL competition, so it's very interesting to see what's going on here. And while we haven't paid much attention to America as the season has progressed, the season finale is well worth it.
There are 4 teams left in the race for the North American championship, and they will determine the 3 participants of Worlds 2024. However, there is one vacant place left and its fate will be decided by 100 Thieves - Dignitas. We will watch it and try to figure out who will be stronger.
Let's go.
Form 100 Thieves
We open our analysis of the match 100 Thieves vs Dignitas with an analysis of the 100 Thieves form. In this match they will play as favourites with odds to win at around 1.4.
In the season before last, 100 Thieves had a good result. At LCS Lock-In 2022, the team finished in the top 8 and then improved their performance significantly.
At LCS Spring 2022 and LCS Summer 2022, they finished in the top 2 both times. This guaranteed them an appearance at Worlds 2022, but they failed to get above the Top 14.
- 100 Thieves line-up: Snier, River, Quid, Tomo, Eyla.
In the 2023 season, 100 Thieves' success was much more modest. Last year, the team played "faded": Top 6 at LCS Spring 2023 and Top 8 at LCS Summer 2023.
In the 2024 season, 100 Thieves scored again. In the LCS Spring 2024 LCS Split, the team finished Top 4, losing to Liquid in the Top 3 match. Summer 2024 qualified for the regular season in 5th place, making it to the LCS Summer 2024 playoffs.
They made it to the top net, where they played against Dignitas in the first match, winning 3-0. But in the next round they ran into Team Liquid and lost 0-3 without a chance.

Form Dignitas
We continue the analysis of the match Dignitas vs 100 Thieves with the analysis of the Dignitas form. In this match, they are playing as the number two with odds of winning around 3.
In the season before last, Dignitas showed poor performance. Now it's getting better.
While 2022 started with a top-4 finish at the LCS Lock-In 2022, the performance at the main LCS events was much more disappointing. At LCS Spring 2022 the team took the top 7, and at LCS Summer 2022 it was already the 10th place.
The situation did not change in 2023. In LCS Spring 2023 Dignitas finished in 10th place. The last, 10th place.
- Dignitas line-up: Licorice, Spica, Jensen, Zven, Isles.
Due to the disappointing performance in recent tournaments, Dignitas resorted to the tactic of the two Supurorts. Simply put, they swap Diamond and Poome at times, but it doesn't really work.
Dignitas finished the LCS Summer 2023 group stage in 7th place, just a little bit short of the top spot. In the first play-offs match they fought with TSM, and the match ended in a hard fought 3-2 victory. However, it didn't get any further, as Golden Guardians got in the way and won the match 3-0. As a result, Dignitas is the top 6 of LCS Summer 2023.
LCK Spring 2024 finished in the same scenario: Top 6. At the LCK Summer 2024 Dignitas finished top-4 in the group stage, which gave them a chance to advance to the first round of the top play-offs. But there they ran into 100 Thieves, losing 0-3, and then in the bottom round they beat NRG 3-2.

Predicted result of Dignitas vs 100 Thieves at LCS Summer 2024
In this match I am expecting a very chippy League of Legends, even though the pre-match odds are more favourable for 100 Thieves. I think it will be something around 3-1 in favour of the Thieves.
Bottom line: 100 Thieves wins 3-1.
