Reasons to Support Teams in the League of Legends Worlds 2022 Knockout Stage
The 2022 League of Legends World Championship is reaching its knockout stage, and if your favorite team has already been eliminated, it’s time to find a new team to support. Whether you’re a fan of new-school contenders, veteran players, or potential dynasties, the remaining teams in the tournament have something for everyone. Here’s why you should jump on the hype train for each team in the knockout stage of Worlds 2022:
JD Gaming
JD Gaming emerged as the favorites to win the World Championship after a dominating performance in the group stage. They are known for being an electric team, topping the charts with 125 kills over seven games. No one is better at playing from behind, making them a strong choice for frontrunners.
Rogue
Rogue is the last Western team standing at Worlds 2022, making them the obvious choice for fans who support the West. If you’re looking for a team to root for until the end, Rogue is your best option.
Gen.G
Gen.G is a strong tournament favorite with a talented mid-jungle duo in Peanut and Chovy. They have a history of deep runs in the tournament, but have never walked away as champions. If you’re looking for a top-tier contender with a bit of destiny on their side, Gen.G is the team for you.
DWG KIA
DWG KIA is a consistent team that came close to winning back-to-back World titles last season. Their topside trio of Nuguri, Canyon, and ShowMaker is always a threat. If you appreciate consistency and the potential for dominance, DWG KIA is the team to root for.
T1
T1, led by Faker, is a team with a rich history of success. Faker is considered the greatest player in League of Legends history, and T1 is the winningest franchise of all time. If you’re a fan of history, reliability, and sentimentality, T1 is the team for you.
Royal Never Give Up
Royal Never Give Up has a history of coming close to winning the World Championship but falling short. If you’re waiting for them to finally achieve their redemption, RNG is the team to support. They recently won their third Mid-Season Invitational and are hungry for more success.
DRX
DRX has returning players from their previous top-eight Worlds run and is looking to make a statement. With veterans like Pyosik and Deft, who is still searching for his first world title, DRX has the potential for a fulfilling storyline. If you enjoy long-fulfilled narratives, DRX is the team for you.
Edward Gaming
Edward Gaming has a chance to cement themselves as one of the strongest rosters in League history. With all five players from their championship-winning roster returning, they have a shot at creating a dynasty. If you want to be part of their journey and witness history being made, support Edward Gaming now.
