League of Legends Worlds 2024: Schedule, Format, and Upcoming Matches
The 2024 League of Legends World Championship is currently underway, with the tournament scheduled to run from September 25 to November 2. This year’s event is being held across various venues in Europe, including the Riot Berlin Studio, Adidas Arena in Paris, and the O2 Arena in London.
The competition has already progressed through the Play-In Stage, which took place from September 25 to 29 at the Riot Berlin Studio. The Swiss Stage, featuring 16 teams, began on October 3 and will continue until October 13. During this stage, teams will compete in a series of best-of-one, best-of-three, and best-of-five matches to secure their spots in the Knockout Stage.
As of October 13, the Swiss Stage is in its final rounds, with critical matches determining which teams will advance to the Knockout Stage. Key matches on October 13 include DK vs WBG, FLY vs TL, and G2 vs BLG, all of which are best-of-three series that could decide the fate of these teams in the tournament.
The Knockout Stage is set to begin on October 17 and will run until November 2, with the quarterfinals taking place from October 17 to 20, followed by the semifinals on October 26 and 27. The grand final will be held on November 2 at the O2 Arena in London.
The tournament is being played on the 14.18 Patch, which has introduced several buffs and nerfs to pro-play champions, potentially altering the meta and strategies employed by the teams. Fans are eagerly anticipating the competition, especially with the historic MSI win by Gen.G and the potential for off-meta picks that could shake up the standings.
