The Swiss stage follows a distinct format where teams face off in a Swiss-system competition. In the first round, teams are prevented from competing against others from the same region. From the second to the fifth round, matches are determined based on each team’s win-loss record. Most games are played in a best-of-one format, but qualification and elimination rounds are settled through best-of-three matches. Teams that secure three victories will move on to the knockout stage, while those that suffer three defeats will be eliminated.
What makes this format so intense is that every match carries weight. There are no “easy” wins, and teams must perform at their best from the start or risk early elimination. The Swiss format ensures that every win counts, meaning teams need to start strong to avoid falling into a do-or-die situation.
The Swiss stage of Worlds 2024 will be streamed live on Riot Games’ official YouTube and Twitch channels, where fans can catch all the action as it happens.
