This year, 16 of the best LoL squads in the world will battle in Europe, concluding with the grand finals at the O2 Arena in London, England. The Swiss stage is brutal; one misstep and you could see yourself fighting for your lives before getting your feet firmly planted.

Here is everything you need to know about the Worlds 2024 Swiss stage.

For many, the Swiss stage, formerly the group stage, for Worlds is the most exciting time of the year. Teams from across the globe, varying in playstyles and experience, battle for seeding in the bracket stage. This is where the most upsets happen. Last year, Swiss continued this tradition as we saw the likes of GAM knockout Team Liquid, and NRG take down G2 to make it to quarters. The possible matchups are endless.

Teams will compete in a Swiss system format. In round one, teams can’t be drawn against another team from the same region. Rounds two to five matches will be based on each team’s win-to-loss record. Each round is a best-of-one outside of qualification and elimination matches, with those being best-of-threes. Teams that reach three wins will advance, while teams with three losses will be eliminated.

Below is the list of teams competing in the Worlds 2024 Swiss stage.

All matches for Worlds 2024 Swiss: Schedule and results

Moving to a Swiss format ensures every single match counts. There are no more “free” wins at Worlds, and teams must get off to a strong start. Otherwise, they could be facing a swift and early elimination from the tournament. One of the big adjustments from last year’s Swiss format is that teams can no longer play each other twice. Dplus Kia, for example, had to play KT Rolster twice en route to being eliminated from the competition. This year, Riot put a stop to that timeline.

Below is the exact schedule and results for the opening games of Worlds 2024 Swiss:
