The only European representative on the list of top championship contenders is G2, a team familiar with the closeness to greatness. Their closest moment to success came in 2019, when the Europeans nearly ended their journey with the Gold trophy. Since then, although the G2 players have dominated Europe, they have failed to replicate their success on the international stage.

Led by veteran Rasmus Caps Borregaard Winter, G2 have shown moments of brilliance at MSI, including a surprise win over Top Esports in the lower set semifinals. However, the team often loses focus in the middle of global tournaments. One of G2's key problems at Worlds last year was an overemphasis on practice matches while not preparing enough for unexpected counter-picks. This year, the team needs to learn to adapt and react quickly to unexpected strategies, while remaining attentive even in the best moments to ensure they don't miss a chance to prove their strength.

Brazilian squad paiN Gaming made history by becoming the first team from CBLOL to qualify for the Swiss stage of the World Championships since 2015, making the Brazilian success even more significant in the region's final year.

In the first match, despite their outsider status against PSG Talon, paiN managed to win the first map, although they eventually lost the series 2:1. Nevertheless, the team quickly recovered in the elimination match, confidently defeating the second VCS team, Viking Esports, 2:0. Then in the deciding match against Rainbow7 from LLA paiN scored a tense 2:1 victory, which secured their entry to the Swiss stage. But everyone realizes that this team has little chance in the World's main stage.

The European champion is the clear favorite, but the Brazilians will not let G2 Esports players finish the map quickly, so expect a lot of kills and a colorful match.
