Your guide to the Worlds 2023 Grand Finals

The anticipation is high as Worlds is back, with T1 on a quest to reclaim their throne against Weibo Gaming. Will the former champions reclaim their 4th title or will the challengers win their first Worlds victory? The answers will unfold at the Gocheok Sky Dome on 19th November. 

The odds on Gamdom favour T1, making Weibo Gaming (WBG) the underdog of the match. It’s not surprising given that the former has an extensive track record. T1 is a legendary team that won their first Worlds title a year after they debuted in 2012 as SK Telecom T1. WBG debuted in 2016 and their best feat was placing 2nd in the 2020 Worlds under the name Suning Gaming.

Both are great teams in the grand scheme of the League of Legends (LoL) esports but the disparity in experience is stark. Then again, T1 has been defeated by Worlds first-time winners like Damwon Gaming in 2022. This adds an exciting twist to Weibo Gaming’s LoL Worlds odds, standing at approximately 3:1 at Gamdom.

Which team is the favourite to win Worlds 2023?

The odds indicate that fans have strong faith that T1 will be the Worlds 2023 victors, continuing their legacy as the best LoL team. However, pundits believe that it’s not going to be a one-sided match. Both sides have their own strengths to bring to the table and WBG can spell trouble for T1 gaming down the line. 

What are WBG’s advantages?

The League of Legends Pro League (LPL) has three representatives who qualified in the main event. Besides WBG, there is also Bilibili Gaming and JD Gaming. Both of them represent the aggressive and flashy playstyle that is commonly observed in the LPL. 

Weibo Gaming is an outlier because they are more defensive and favour late-game skirmishes. They specialise in team-based conflict which is similar to Gen.G from League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) who have defeated T1. History can repeat itself by proxy because WBG designed their strategy against LCK’s top teams.

What are T1’s advantages?

Weibo Gaming aims to beat their opponents in teamfighting but that is exactly where T1 specialises. Thus, many see this prospect as a risky move rather than a genius one which results in a 3:1 odds ratio between the two sides. 

T1 also shows excellence in performance at the Worlds leading up to the main event. They’ve outshined Weibo Gaming in terms of stats which is most apparent in the qualifiers. Fans still can’t be complacent, however, because T1 has come up short multiple times already. The team needs to be prepared for anything WBG has in store for them.
