LoL Worlds 2024 Knockout Stage Schedule - Day 1

With the Swiss Stage now over, eight teams will be moving on to the Knockout Stage (Quarterfinals) for a chance at the World Championship title. After a very bloody and chaotic Groups Stage, the LPL, LCK, and LCS teams will have to survive the gauntlet in the best-of-five (Bo5) series in Paris. 

Should they be successful, they will be able to go to London and give it their all for the glory and recognition to be crowned the League of Legends Champions. With that being said, we will go over the schedule for the first match of the Quarterfinals. 

LoL Worlds 2024 Quarterfinals Format and Schedule

The Quarterfinals will consist of six rounds of best-of-fives (Bo5) between all eight of the qualified teams as everyone will have only one shot at advancing further up the bracket to the Finals.

• Knockout Stage (8 Teams): October 17-20, October 26-27
• Worlds 2024 Finals Date (2 Teams): November 2 (Saturday)

The meta has been established more-or-less after the Swiss Stage, but we might see some drastic off-meta picks, further proving why Worlds is the biggest and most exciting League of Legends tournament of the year. 

LoL Worlds 2024 Patch

Players will compete on the 14.18 Patch as it brought a lot of buffs and nerfs to pro-play champions that were dominating the meta. We will also get to see Aurora in action, so be on the lookout for this bunny mage making some sick plays in the hands of the best players in the world. 

The item changes also will heavily impact the meta, as we might see champs like Orianna, Syndra, Hwei, and Ahri making a comeback, with possibly far fewer ADC mid picks.

LoL Worlds 2024 Quarterfinals Day 1 Schedule

The first match of the Knockout Stage will be between two LPL titans, namely the undefeated LNG and the prominent WBG that have had a lot of practice this tournament. 

Despite all odds, LNG was able to sweep through the Swiss Stage and secure three wins back-to-back, whereas as WBG had to fight tooth and nail to advance to the Quarterfinals. Although all of the LPL teams were able to get out of the Group Stage, analysts and fans are skeptical whether WBG will be able to defeat LNG given their phenomenal performance so far.

Since this is the Knockout Stage, both teams have only one chance to advance further to the Semifinals as this epic clash between the 3rd and 4th LPL seeds will bring a lot of excitement to everyone watching. Regardless, we are surely in for a banger series which could potentially go to 5 games, so be ready for some incredible League of Legends come Thursday.
