Have you chosen your faction? Then let's continue with the so-called Swiss Stage!

Swiss Stage Picks

The Swiss Stage is based on teams with the same ratio of games won and lost playing against each other. A team that has won twice and lost once so far will play another team that is also 2-1.

At the end, 8 teams enter the Knockout Stage, all of which must have won three times. Here you choose all the teams that you think will progress and with which score. You will receive bonus points if you are sure of three of the teams!

As only one of the two teams in the play-in stage will progress, T1 or Invictus Gaming, you should be careful! Your chosen team might not even play in the Swiss Stage.

You'll have to be quick – on October 14, the day of the Play-In Stage, you won't be able to change your choice.

Knockout Stage Picks

The picks for the Knockout Stage will be unlocked on October 25. Here you have another chance if you weren't quite right before. Based on last year's results, you can easily guess who will advance and who will win the Summoners Cup – and thus become the new World Champion!

Crystal Ball – For The Brave

You know which meta is being played and know the players inside out? Then dare to try the crystal ball, because this is where the Worlds become science.

Which player will play the most different champions? Which team will destroy the opponent in the shortest time? And most importantly: Will Teemo be picked?

Put your knowledge to the test and secure points for your faction!

But don't expect too much! Last year, not a single person was right after the end of the Swiss Stage.

Who will win this year? Will the alleged script see T1 on the throne again, or will they not even make it to the Swiss Stage?

Video games have been with Lilli since her earliest memories. After grandma's first console, everything took its course after her mother introduced her to League of Legends in 2010. Countless games and studying game design later, she decided to write about her biggest passion (when she's already talking about it all day anyway)....
