Riot Games announced the details of the “2024 LOL World Cup” on its official website on Tuesday. The first stage of the “2024 LOL World Cup” is the play-in stage. Eight teams will participate from the play-in stage, with four teams divided into two groups, and the match will be held in a double elimination method. The two teams with two wins in each group will first confirm their advance to the Swiss stage, while the winning teams from the lower ranks of each group will clash with the team with the same performance in the other group for the last two spots. All matches in the play-in stage will be held in the best-of-three games.
Riot Games immediately held a draw ceremony for the play-in stage of the 2024 LoL EMEA Championship (LEC) season final in Munich, Germany, on the 2nd. Pool 1 is composed of the 3rd seed of Mad Lions Koy (EMEA), GAM Esports (VCS), PSG Talon (PCS), and LCS, while the 2nd seed is Viking Esports (VCS), Fukuoka Softbank Hawks Gaming (PCS), Movistar Rainbow 7 (LLA), and CBLOL. Teams belonging to Pool 1 will be placed first and then the 2nd full draw will be held, while teams participating in the same area will be placed in different groups.
According to the results of the draw, Mad Lions Koy and Viking Esports, PSG Talon and CBLOL winners will compete in Group A, GAM Esports and Fukuoka Softbank Hawks Gaming, LCS No. 3 seed and Movistar Rainbow 7 will compete in Group B. The play-in stage, which will be held from 25 to 29, will be held at the Riot Games Arena in Berlin, Germany. The Swiss stage, which will be held from Oct. 3-13, will also be held there.
The Swiss stage is a method in which teams with the same wins and losses compete with each other after the first game, and Riot Games has been widely used in chess tournaments, and has received great response by introducing this method at the 2023 LOL World Cup. If there is a difference from last year, the match table will be formed so that the team you met once at the Swiss stage will not meet again. The Swiss stage will be held on a single-round basis, but the match between the teams with two wins and two losses, which is to say, will be decided by advancement and elimination, will be held in the best-of-three series. 바카라사이트
