The Swiss Stage is a new format replacing the Group Stage at the League of Legends World Championship. It is the second stage of the LoL World Championship that comes after the Play-Ins. The Swiss Stage sees teams with identical win-loss records face off until they secure either three victories or three defeats. In the initial round, teams are paired randomly against teams from different regions for best-of-one games. The matchups were determined through a draw that took place immediately after the Worlds 2023 Play-In Stage Qualifiers. In the second round, teams will be re-matched with others who share the same win-loss records, and this pattern will continue for an additional five rounds. Rounds related to qualification and elimination will be a best-of-three series. Ultimately, teams accumulating three wins advance to the Knockout Stage, while those accruing three losses bid farewell to the tournament. Out of the 16 participating teams, eight will progress to the playoffs. The Swiss Stage started on October 19 and will run until October 29. The schedule, scores, and standings of the Swiss Stage can be found on various websites.
