Still, even in the Play-In Stage, we\u2019ve seen one of the big regions fall short of expectations. 100 Thieves\u2019 straightforward loss to PSG Talon in the lower bracket final consigned them to an early exit at Worlds. With the Swiss Stage first-round matchups determined, we now know that T1 will begin their title defense with a match against Top Esports, while LEC fans might reasonably hope for an early success with G2\u2019s draw against paiN Gaming and Fnatic\u2019s matchup with Dplus KIA\u2014but supporters of MAD Lions KOI likely drew a sharp intake of breath seeing LPL Summer winners Bilibili Gaming as their first-round opposition. In an interview with Dot Esports, Supa expressed hope that they would meet a North American side to get revenge, but it looks like he'll have to wait for a chance to do so. GAM Esports\u2019 reward for a successful Play-In Stage campaign was a round one matchup with FlyQuest, while PSG Talon will also have a tough assignment in the form of LCK Summer winners Hanwha Life Esports. The other matchups featuring directly qualified teams are Team Liquid vs. LNG Esports and Weibo Gaming going up against Gen.G, the monsters of the second pool. This year\u2019s League of Legends World Championship will shuttle the squads between Berlin, Paris, and London to determine this year\u2019s greatest squad. The Swiss Stage of this year\u2019s Worlds will take place in two parts, first between Oct. 3 and Oct.7, then, after a short break, the rest of the placements will be determined between Oct. 10 and Oct. 13. The first day of play will only feature the round one matchups\u2014all best-of-one affairs\u2014and Oct. 4 will feature all 1-0 and 0-1 matches, still sticking to a best-of-one format. From then on, the deciders will all get their dedicated day of play, with best-of-three battles to determine the ultimate fate of the participants.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/league-lol-worlds-2024.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1352424"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2092"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1352424"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1352424\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1352426,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1352424\/revisions\/1352426"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1346595"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1352424"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1352424"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1352424"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1352424"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1352424"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1352424"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1352424"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Still, even in the Play-In Stage, we\u2019ve seen one of the big regions fall short of expectations. 100 Thieves\u2019 straightforward loss to PSG Talon in the lower bracket final consigned them to an early exit at Worlds. With the Swiss Stage first-round matchups determined, we now know that T1 will begin their title defense with a match against Top Esports, while LEC fans might reasonably hope for an early success with G2\u2019s draw against paiN Gaming and Fnatic\u2019s matchup with Dplus KIA\u2014but supporters of MAD Lions KOI likely drew a sharp intake of breath seeing LPL Summer winners Bilibili Gaming as their first-round opposition. In an interview with Dot Esports, Supa expressed hope that they would meet a North American side to get revenge, but it looks like he'll have to wait for a chance to do so. GAM Esports\u2019 reward for a successful Play-In Stage campaign was a round one matchup with FlyQuest, while PSG Talon will also have a tough assignment in the form of LCK Summer winners Hanwha Life Esports. The other matchups featuring directly qualified teams are Team Liquid vs. LNG Esports and Weibo Gaming going up against Gen.G, the monsters of the second pool. This year\u2019s League of Legends World Championship will shuttle the squads between Berlin, Paris, and London to determine this year\u2019s greatest squad. The Swiss Stage of this year\u2019s Worlds will take place in two parts, first between Oct. 3 and Oct.7, then, after a short break, the rest of the placements will be determined between Oct. 10 and Oct. 13. The first day of play will only feature the round one matchups\u2014all best-of-one affairs\u2014and Oct. 4 will feature all 1-0 and 0-1 matches, still sticking to a best-of-one format. From then on, the deciders will all get their dedicated day of play, with best-of-three battles to determine the ultimate fate of the participants.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/league-lol-worlds-2024.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1352424"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2092"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1352424"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1352424\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1352426,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1352424\/revisions\/1352426"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1346595"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1352424"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1352424"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1352424"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1352424"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1352424"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1352424"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1352424"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
