On the 2nd, Riot Games released information on the step-by-step method, schedule, and location of the “2024 LoL World Championship” on its official website.
The “2024 LoL World Championship,” which will kick off on the 25th, will feature 20 teams representing eight regions around the world, followed by play-in, Switzerland and tournament stages as in last year.
The first stage of the World Championship is the play-in stage. Eight teams will participate from the play-in stage, and will be divided into two groups of four teams and compete in a double-elimination method.
Two teams with two wins in each group will first qualify for the Swiss stage, while the lower-ranked teams in each group will clash with the same team in the other group for the last two spots. All matches in the play-in stage are best-of-three.
Riot Games held a draw ceremony for the 2024 LoL World Championship Play-In Stage immediately after the final of the 2024 LoL EMEA Championship (LEC) season final in Munich, Germany, on the 2nd. 실시간 바카라사이트
The No. 1 pool is composed of the No. 3 seeds of Mad Lions Koy (EMEA), GAM Esports (VCS), PSG Talon (PCS), and LCS, while the No. 2 seed is Viking Esports (VCS), Fukuoka Softbank Hawks Gaming (PCS), Movistar Rainbow 7 (LLA), and CBLOL. Teams belonging to the No. 1 pool will be placed first and then the No. 2 full draw will be held, while teams participating in the same area will be placed in different groups.
As a result of the draw, Mad Lions Koy and Viking Esports, PSG Talon and CBLOL winners will compete in Group A, GAM Esports and Fukuoka Softbank Hawks Gaming, LCS No. 3 seed and Movistar Rainbow 7 will compete in Group B.
The Play-In Stage, which will be held from 25 to 29, will be held at the Riot Games Arena in Berlin, Germany. The Swiss Stage, which will be held from Oct. 3-13, will also be held here.
The Swiss stage is a method in which teams with the same wins and losses compete with each other after the first game, and has been frequently used in chess tournaments, and Riot Games has received great response by introducing this method at the 2023 LoL World Championship.
If there is a difference from last year, the match table will be formed so that they do not meet again with the team they met once at the Swiss stage. The Swiss stage will be held on a single-round basis, but the match between the two-win teams and the two-loss teams will be held in the best-of-three series.
Among the tournament stages, the quarterfinals and semi-finals will be held at the Adidas Arena in Paris, France from Oct. 17-27, and the much-awaited final will be held at the O2 Arena, a domed arena in London, England, on Nov. 2. All matches of the tournament stage will be held in the best-of-five series.
