Red Bull League of Its Own 2024 reached its conclusion yesterday as five-time Worlds champions T1 faced off against Europe’s finest teams, with Swedish player Rekkles even subbing in for them.
With nearly 15,000 fans packed into the Accor Arena in Paris, France, and over 600,000 concurrent viewers tuning in online, the 2024 edition featured 5v5 matches and 1v1 duels.
Red Bull League of Its Own 2024 saw Worlds 2024 champions T1 (including Korean star mid-laner Faker and new top-laner Doran) go head-to-head against Europe’s top teams. These included G2 Esports’ revised 2025 LoL roster, Karmine Corp, NNO, Gentle Mates, and the offline debut of Los Ratones, the new team formed by British streamer Caedrel.
In the first match, NNO shot to victory in a Nemesis draft against a role-swapped T1.
T1 once again swapped roles and were beaten back by Gentle Mates, as the French team proved victorious.
Continuing the day-long showmatch event, Paris’ own Karmine Corp gave a stellar performance to scoop victory as they battled it out on home turf against last year’s Red Bull League of its Own 2023 victors, G2.
Fans saw France’s biggest LoL streamers taking on teams’ star players in a series of 1v1 showmatches powered by Opel.
Finally, taking to the stage in their offline tournament debut, Caedrel brought his star-studded streamer squad Los Ratones into the competition as they triumphed over T1 in a showmatch, with Thebausffs killing Faker.
T1’s final two games saw the return of Rekkles (pictured top), reuniting with his former roster, as the iconic team went head-to-head against G2 and Karmine Corp.
With Rekkles’ presence in the line-up turning up the excitement, T1 beat both teams to prove victorious in the tournament’s finale.
The news comes a few days after Kieran Holmes-Darby, the co-founder of Excel Esports, announced he had been appointed as general manager of Los Ratones.
