A famous player has a worse “achievement” than Chovy at Worlds
In the history of Worlds, not every talented player will have the opportunity to win the throne or at least be able to almost touch the tournament championship trophy. Because winning the World Championship is the dream of every League of Legends player. And in a playground full of talented people, there are winners and losers. It can be said that Chovy is a talented person but until now he is still “unlucky” with winning the World Championship. Even his performance is extremely bad, when in the last 5 World Championships, Chovy's record is 88848, which means 4 stops in the Quarterfinals and 1 elimination in the Semifinals.
However, there is one player who is even worse than Chovy, and that is GALA. Having dominated MSI with Royal Never Give Up, GALA also had ups and downs at Worlds. Because, in the last 4 times attending Worlds, GALA's highest achievement was in the Quarterfinals. This means that while Chovy also got to the Semi-finals once, this has been a luxury for GALA in the past 4 years.
And the most recent time was at Worlds 2024 when GALA continued to lose to Weibo Gaming in the Quarterfinals. Worth mentioning, this may be GALA's best chance to continue, when his LNG Esports has had 3 wins in the Swiss round. Among LNG's defeated champions, there is also Bilibili Gaming – the reigning LPL champion.
Worlds is a tough playground
Obviously, Worlds has shown its harshness and with each year as the format changes, the competitive factor increases. For 2 consecutive years, the “king of the LEC”, G2, could not even get past the Swiss round. Meanwhile, many unexpected scenarios have also appeared, such as WBG also going from “death's door” all the way to the final of last year's World Championship.
In this year's season, some surprises happened and recently the undefeated team LNG was eliminated. Worlds 2024 will still promise many surprises, especially “blockbuster” matches like HLE – BLG or T1 – TES have not yet started.
