JD Gaming approached this year's World Championship in a unique position. The Chinese players won three titles in 2023: two in the LPL and one at the MSI. No team has ever won two domestic and two international titles in the same season before, and only one team - G2 Esports - came to this World with such a chance but failed to make the playoffs.
This Chinese team has a serious chance to make history. A slam finish would immediately put Team JDG in the greatest teams of all time category. We haven't seen such a dominant season, perhaps since 2015, when SKT showed similar play, but even they stumbled along the way. This year, they've only pushed harder as the year has gone on. In 2023, JDG has won nearly 80% of their games, with 22 of their last 28 wins coming in 30 minutes or less. JDG has made a habit of getting ahead early and staying ahead - effectively winning games at a torrid pace because they quickly switch to any player in their lineup and turn them into a win condition.
Whether it's the titanic solo liners 369 and Knight, the ever-threatening carry jungler Kanavi, or the controversial GOAT AD carry Ruler, JDG has an answer to any question opponents may ask them.
KT Rolster
Team KT, representing Korea, returned to the World Championship after a five-year break and faced defeat at the hands of Chinese team Bilibili Gaming. The previous time, KT was the clear favorite to win the World Championship, but unfortunately, they were eliminated in the quarterfinals. While expectations may not be as high for them this time around, we are still confident that KT is a team with a rich legacy that has finally returned to the international stage and is looking to succeed in the later stages of the tournament.
The lineup features veterans like Bdd and Lehends, who have already proven their mettle by reaching the top 4 at Worlds in the past. The top-line duo of Kiin and Cuzz also have enough power to inspire confidence in this team. However, there are rumors that almost all veterans might leave the team after the current season, which might reduce the motivation of the Korean players. In addition, a loss to Bilibili Gaming on the first day of the group stage dampened the hopes of Korean fans but was followed by two important wins against very strong opponents such as Dplus KIA and Weibo Gaming.
Having made it to the playoffs, the Koreans were one step away from falling in the quarterfinals, just like they did five years ago. The draw buried KT's chances of renewing their record.
Expect Betting Tips
The Chinese champion looks very formidable and is seen as the main favorite for the championship, even when Gen.G didn't have such problems in the game. KT's players are skillful, but as the Swiss stage showed - it's still hard for them to beat the top 1 teams.
