The 2023 edition of the League of Legends Worlds Pick'Em will be divided into three stages. These are:

If players pick any of the teams from the WQS that fail to win the match, they will have to quickly make changes in order to ensure their picks are locked in. A maximum of two out of seven teams can be selected in this phase of the Pick'Em. Each correct prediction will yield 10 points each for a maximum total of 20 points.
The League of Legends Worlds 2023 Pick'em for the play-in stage will officially begin on October 4, 2023, at 8:00 am PDT / 5:00 pm CEST / 8:30 pm IST, and picks will be locked in on October 10, 2023, at 12:15 am PDT / 9:15 am CEST/ 12:45 pm IST.
Swiss Stage

Players can arrange the team in order of best record to the worst. The best record a team can attain in this stage will be a 3-0, while the worst record achievable is a 0-3.
Each team correctly picked to progress to the Knockout Stage will reward players with 5 points. Users can also obtain an additional 15 points for correctly guessing any of the two teams that will qualify for the playoffs stage with a 3-0 record. Getting all eight teams right, along with correctly picking a team to go 3-0, will allow users to cash in another 20 points to extend their tally to 85 points.
