In the play-in round of Worlds 2024, four Mad Lions Koi teams, Esports, Pain Gaming and PSG Talon are the representatives who won the right to the Swiss round. Thus, 16 teams attending the main event round of Worlds 2024 were fully present to compete in the Swiss round of the tournament.
Regarding the way of drawing, 16 teams will be divided into 4 seed groups, team 1 will face group 4, group 2 meet teams in group 3. Especially in this first series, the teams from the same area will not be able to meet.
Immediately after PSG Talon won 2-0 against 100 Thieves, Riot Games conducted a draw of the first series of the Swiss round with the following results:
Hanwha Life Esports – PSG Talon
GAM ESPORTS – Flyquest
G2 Esports – Pain Gaming
Bilibili Gaming – Mad Lions Koi
Top esports – T1
Team Liquid – LNG ESPORTS
Fnatic – Dplus
Geng – Weibo Gaming
As such, the VCS GAM ESPORTS champion in Group 4 will face Flyquest in Group 1. This is also the team that is underestimated at the group of major tournaments, compared to Hanwha Life Esports, Bilibili Gaming or G2 Esports. Despite being underestimated, GAM still has the opportunity to create a surprise when only determining the results in a single match.
In the remaining matches, the most notable match will be the Esports World Cup 2024 final between Top Esports and T1. However, with unstable performance from both teams, this match will be very difficult to guess. In addition, a number of other notable matches are the LPL's No. 4 seed confrontation, the Weibo Gaming and the Liquid team met LNG Esports.
The Swiss round of Worlds 2024 will take place from October 3-14 in Berlin, Germany. In terms of formula, the teams will be drawn based on the score, the team won 3 wins will continue, and the teams with 3 losses will be eliminated. All matches that determine the ticket to go on or be eliminated to play the Bo3, the rest played Bo1.
