Quarterfinals

The first round (quarterfinals) of the Worlds 2024 Playoffs will start on October 17, 2024. There will be only one match per day; the winner will proceed to the next stage, while the loser will be eliminated.

Here is the schedule for the quarterfinal matches of the Worlds 2024 Playoff Stage:

Match 1: October 17, 2024

LNG Esports vs Weibo Gaming (Weibo won 3-1)

Match 2: October 18, 2024

Hanwha Life Esports vs Bilibili Gaming (BLG won 3-1)

GenG Esports vs FlyQuest (GenG won 3-2)

These matches are expected to be electrifying as some of the best LoL esports teams will be battling each other. This includes LNG and Weibo Gaming. The former team put in great performances during the Swiss Stage and is one of the contenders to win the tournament. The latter, last year's LoL Worlds finalist, will look to eliminate LNG again, just like they did in the LPL Summer 2024.

The next two matches, Hanwha Life Esports vs Bilibili Gaming and Top Esports vs T1 are expected to be the most competitive as these teams have some of the best LoL players on their rosters.

Lastly, the matchup between GenG Esports and FlyQuest is widely expected to go in favor of the former. However, anything can happen in Lol esports, and given that FlyQuest is the West's only hope at the event, there's a lot on the line for them.
