The 2023 League of Legends World Championship is upon us, promising an ultimate showdown that has kept fans at the edge of their seats over the past few weeks. The high-stakes battles have been building to this peak moment, with the entire world tuning in to witness the next World Champions.
LoL Worlds 2023 Knockout Stage
The Swiss Stage concluded after a grueling two weeks of intense competition. Out of the 16 top-tier teams, only 8 have managed to secure their coveted tickets to the Knockout Stage.
Remarkably, all four LPL teams have proven their mettle by securing a spot in the quarterfinals, comprising half of the elite eight. In contrast, NA’s first seed stands alone as the sole Western representative still in the running.
The stage is now set for some electrifying matchups that promise to set the arena on fire. Gen.G is set to clash with Bilibili Gaming once again, while NRG prepares for a best-of-five rematch against Weibo Gaming. The tournament favorites, JD Gaming, are gearing up for an entertaining showdown with the KT Rolsters, and the fan-favorite T1 will face off against LNG Esports.
This captivating lineup sets the stage for an enthralling Knockout Stage with a composition of 4 LPL teams, 3 LCK teams, and one LCS team. In a notable contrast to the 2022 World Championship, where there were 4 LCK teams, 3 LPL teams, and 1 LEC team in the Knockout Stage, this year saw no LEC teams making it to the final rounds.
As League of Legends fans worldwide eagerly anticipate the upcoming matches, the full schedule for the Worlds 2023 Knockout Stage, complete with match results and eliminations, will offer unparalleled excitement.
