Worlds 2022 knockout stage: results, schedule, bracket

The 2022 League of Legends World Championship group stage is over, and the knockout rounds await—just two weeks sit between now and when a new world champion will be crowned.

The Western regions had their worst showing ever, going a combined 10-26 (EU 7-11, NA worst-ever 3-15), with an 0-9 first week for North American teams, and a 1-8 week two for the three European representatives. This year also marked the first time ever that fewer than two Western teams made it to the Worlds quarterfinals.

Given that every year, the only stipulation coming out of groups is that no two teams from the same group can land in the same half of the bracket, sometimes the quarterfinal draw can leave fans wanting.

Many consider it the best quarterfinal draw in years due to the relative lack of “civil war” matchups between two teams from the same region early on.

Additionally, the storylines are everywhere, not least of which is a matchup right out of the gates between T1 and Royal Never Give Up that should leave legacy fans salivating.

Here are the match scores, results, schedule, bracket, and more for the 2022 League of Legends World Championship knockout stage.
