Lol Worlds Quarterfinals Bracket
Ask a question about League or Riot, and we’ll try to answer it. Answers go live every other Thursday at 1:30 pm (PT)
Everything is ready for the next stage in the 2020 World Championship. Sixteen teams battled in the group stage, but only eight made it to the Knock-out stage. In this stage, all series are best-of-five with only one team advancing. Losers don’t get a second chance. I’s do or die at Worlds for all the teams. The 2019 League of Legends World Championship draw for the Knockout Stage took place immediately after the conclusion of the Group Stage. All three representatives from South Korea's LCK and Europe's LEC were joined by the first and third seed from China's LPL in escaping the Group Stage, and have been matched up in the Quarterfinals as follows. The League of Legends World Championship is down to just eight teams and the Quarter-Finals have produced quite the fascinating draw. On one side of the bracket, Europe's second seeds Fnatic are joined by all three of China's LoL Pro League (LPL) remaining teams while Europe's top seed G2 Esports. With the 2020 League of Legends World Championship going into its last stages, CLG mid laner Eugene “Pobelter” Park has voiced his opinion about the lack of a losers bracket at the tournament. I think introducing loser’s bracket next year would be really cool for worlds, think it led to a lot of great moments / games in LCS and LEC playoffs. With the League of Legends 2020 World Championship on the horizon, the group stage brackets will soon be decided so all spectators of League of Legends professional play can participate in the Worlds Pick’em action. Fans will have a chance at unique rewards this year if they guess the brackets of the tournament correctly.

What’s changed for 2019?
China (LPL) will receive three group stage slots based on their competitive performance over the last two years at international tournaments such as the 2018 Mid-Season Invitational and the 2018 World Championship.
Vietnam (VCS) will receive two seeds this year. Their first seed was earned last year, as a result of their emergence as an independent region. Their second seed was awarded as a result of their placement at the Mid-Season Invitational. Their first seed will start in the Group Stage, and their second seed will begin in the Play-In.
Additionally, this year, teams will be permitted to have up to 7 players on their Active Roster. This change has been made due to the evolution of the sport and the increased number of rosters fielding substitute players.
What’s the format?
Worlds is composed of three stages: the Play-In Stage, the Group Stage, and the Knockout Stage (Quarterfinals, Semifinals and Finals).
Play-In Stage: 10/2-10/5; 10/7-10/8
