The Worlds 2024 Swiss Stage kicked off with thrilling matches, setting the stage for a fierce Day 2. Day 1 was packed with exciting plays and performances from the top teams.
As Day 2 approaches, teams will continue battling for supremacy, and fans are eager to see which squads will maintain momentum and who will fall behind. Here’s the Day 2 schedule, team standings, matchup previews, and our expert predictions.
Day 2 Matchups Preview and Predictions
BLG vs LNG
BLG came out strong on Day 1, securing a solid win over MAD Lions with the standout performances of Elk and ON. Their Kai’Sa and Rell combo dominated the game, giving them a clear advantage.
LNG, led by Scout, had a great start as well, taking down Team Liquid with aggressive plays from Zika and GALA. This match will come down to mid-lane dominance and objective control, where both teams excel.
Prediction: BLG’s consistency and objective control give them the edge here. Expect BLG to maintain their strong form and secure the win.
GEN.G vs TES
This is one of the most anticipated matchups of Day 2. GEN.G emerged victorious over Weibo Gaming (WBG) in an intense battle on Day 1, with Chovy and Peyz showing their skills.
Top Esports (TES), on the other hand, took down T1 in a high-stakes match, utilizing their bot lane strength and teamfight execution. This match will be decided by macro play and dragon control.
Prediction: While it’s a tight match, TES’s aggressive playstyle and ability to fight from even positions give them a slight advantage.
G2 Esports vs Hanwha Life Esports (HLE)
G2 Esports cruised past PNG on Day 1, showcasing Caps’ split pushing and their map-wide pressure. On the other side, HLE dismantled PSG Talon with superior macro play and mechanical skill. The matchup between Caps and Zeka in the mid-lane will be key to determining the outcome.
Prediction: G2 is known for creating early gaps between themselves and their opponents, but this game is up for grabs. G2 is predicted to take the win in a close contest.
Weibo Gaming (WBG) vs Team Liquid (TL)
WBG put up a solid fight against GEN.G but ultimately fell short, whereas Team Liquid struggled against LNG. WBG’s stronger mid-laner and ADC could prove to be too much for TL to handle.
Prediction: WBG should take this match as long as they suppress TL’s early-game efforts.
T1 vs PNG
T1, following their loss to TES, will be looking to bounce back in this match. PNG, a surprise qualifier, faces a significant challenge here. Faker and his team have a history of regaining momentum after early losses, and PNG may not have the necessary tools to counter them.
Prediction: A straightforward win for T1, who are expected to dominate across the map.
FlyQuest (FLY) vs DAMWON KIA (DK)
FlyQuest secured a win on Day 1, but DK poses an entirely different challenge. With ShowMaker and Lucid performing at their best, DK’s aggressive early plays will test FLY’s resilience.
Prediction: DK has the upper hand in this matchup and should win if they maintain their aggression and mid-game pacing.
Fnatic (FNC) vs GAM Esports
Fnatic had a rough start against DK, while GAM Esports suffered a heavy defeat to FlyQuest. Both teams are eager to avoid a 0-2 start, with FNC relying on better teamfights and objective control.
Prediction: Fnatic is likely to stabilize and take their first win here.
PSG Talon vs MAD Lions (MDK)
After tough losses on Day 1, both teams are seeking redemption. MAD Lions fell to BLG, while PSG Talon were beaten by HLE. MDK’s early game potential should give them the edge, though PSG is known for surprises.
Prediction: MDK should come out on top, though PSG may pull off an upset.
