Pls no rap worlds song
Keep giving these to Medic. He always knocks it out of the park.
Very articulate, evenly and well paced, I never need to go back and rewind something I didn't understand.
I would love to see Medic being the intro guy for the Finals given the country
You guys better bring the LCK referee to do the draws for the swiss stage :)
Man was a legend
@@knav3928 I think they said last year that he “wasn’t going anywhere.” I took that to mean they would bring him back in some way.

No rematches on Swiss Stage? Thank you
Now all they have to do is make the bo1 rounds into bo3
@@JhhhhyhhnjgyI used to think this too, but wouldn’t that be too long?
Old format had a total of exactly 6 games each for every team in the Main Stage. As of right now for the Swiss Format, there’s a minimum of 4 games and up to a maximum of 11 games that can be played for a team. Average should already be higher than 6.
@@colin5197the video said that there will be no rematch this year. Rules has been changed
@@colin5197 KT-FNC, BLG-G2, WBG-DK. No rematch. Riot could caculate possible match-ups and draw among them
@Jhhhhyhhnjgy no they are making non elim and non promo games bo1s. It wouldn't make sense to make all bo3. This is a one month tournament not a 3 month split.
people should be grateful that LPL and LCK 4th seed don't get to play-ins, it will just be a slaughter
that's probably why they don't let them they know what would happen lol
Imagine LNG and DK in play in lmfao 😂
That’s 3 world champion
even 7th seed lpl lck would wipe the west
@@yeoldegrayCat I mean the "official" reason was that they were the top two regions at MSI but I bet the organisers knew it would be LCK vs LPL anyways and used that as reasoning to prevent a complete bloodbath during play-ins lmao
DRX
Now that it's in Europe, the LEC teams won't have to spend so much on plane tickets home.
If they play like last year, I would gladly export them
That would give them the advantage to troll in practice more
They are all in Berlin so they don't need to fly at all 😂
True from one point. But let.. pet evry different stage in digferent countries 😁.. i would gladly just buy a ticket to korea. Than go: Berlin-Paris-London for the event..
Nah, the koreans are fliyng home this time.
Prediction: The theme song for the tournament will predict the winner.
I love this jinx🤣🤣
Honestly it would be nice if i could get tickets to a finals held in my country after playing the game for 11 years but i guess thats not how the world works
I thought about traveling for it this year but I dunno, Paris and UK have wild crimes and stuff happening so I decided to just watch it at the safety of my room, maybe next time 😂
@@yeoldegrayCat Getting tickets has been impossible anyway, even with the Mastercard/O2 priority queues
You’re learning.
@@yeoldegrayCatyou really are that scared to leave your room? Lol
@@Illmatic1994 Huh? I’ve travelled to other countries before but France and UK sounds crappy to go to atm so I’ll pass, I wouldn’t just go to watch a game id want to spend a week or two and the state of those counties just aren’t my vibe, at the moment. Like how I wouldn’t travel to the US under their current administration just a bad vibe, but I have been there before. You feel me?
Man if only people were able to get tickets for finals and semis.
Are people buying the tickets in mass then selling them for more?
@@shadowstrike07Bots buying tickets to sell them, people won't spend that much money for a ticket, so look today MDK VS G2, it was a sold out and 80% of the stadium was empty.
@@shadowstrike07 and the worst part is AXS and O2 have had bot issues before. I waited in queue for literally 50 minutes before getting told there were no tickets. Some tickets went for resale before 5 minutes.

talk about how the swiss stage is in the tiny LEC studio too you forgot about that one
last year swiss-stages couldnt even fill the whole venue unless it was LCK vs X, G2 or FNC vs X. This years MSI was the same venue wasnt filled either. There is CLEARLY a reason they chose riot games arena. Even today Losers Bracket in Munich wasnt full there were spaces of empty seats. From financial POV a good move.
They can give 20 dollars tickets which not sold in big arena and 2000 ppl go and also pay the rent money for the stadium or they can sell 200 ticket for 5k cause of the limited space, dont worry riot did the math
Ppl can’t afford groceries, nobody’s gonna buy Swiss stage tix lol
@@legitlama288The MDK vs G2 match was sold out actually, just that ticket scraping and botting is hindering people from actually getting tickets.
@@legitlama288 All of those events were sold out, but most of the tickets went to bots and people couldn't or wouldn't pay scalper prices, so the arenas were empty. Given how the ticket sales have gone for worlds so far I wouldn't be surprised to see the same happen again
BRING CASTER JUN
Dont make him cry again 😢😢😢
I'm pretty sure the LCK crew always travels to MSI and Worlds so expect him on the casters' desk
I like this year’s format better. Last year the VCS 2nd seed lost once and was eliminated in the playins bc they lost at the wrong time, while GAM lost but was able to make it to the swiss stage. Not repeating matchups is also good.
Yes. TW and PSG was eliminated just one Match loss..
That was because of double of elimination where the undefeated teams didn't get a 2nd chance.
There must be arcane related stuff too right? This year’s worlds gon be real lit
ah yes, cause making a while world focused marketing arcane instead of the players is real entertaining
@@shoxcodes correct
@@shoxcodeswell it was worked before lol
Yes that's absolutely correct. Arcane got normies playing this game and Worlds is the biggest event for riot of the year.@@shoxcodes
@@shoxcodes people can't enjoy two things (interconnected) at the same time or what ?
The format: you cant buy tickets because every single one got botted and now is really for 10x its price
"botted", same bs every year of salty kids who didnt get a ticket.
While there are bots, agreed, there are not so many as "every single ticketd got botted" lol
If there are 10k tickets on sale and idk, 100k in a queue, ofc you will have bad chances to get some. But it's easy to just call bots..
@@florianhug8069then how come yesterday’s G2 vs MDK was sold out when buying tickets yet 70% of the arena was empty? 😂
@@florianhug8069 ever heard of hyperbole instead of being salty right away? obviously not every single one got botted but many did and the fact that LOL Esports hired company thats known for letting this happen is pretty sad
@@florianhug8069 the ticketing system was bad. They got sold after 4 minutes. Yet ppl got the message that tickets are sold out after 1h waiting in queue. The system got exploited and maybe 10% of the tickets got to an actual person buying it jut for them.
yes there a are a lot of ppl wanting tickets, but other big events like taylor swift concerts managed to make a system that cant be exploided as much as the one from AXS.
Event hosts really need to start requiring verified IDs for ticket purchases and limiting the amount per person.
Can't wait for the opening ceremony

Great explainer! 💯The clear, vibrant color codings, the smooth transitions and animations of lines, boxes, and brackets in placement and opacity to perfectly match the explanations, the articulation and pacing... Well done Medic and Riot!
I feel good with this year format, I always had the feeling that worlds matches are low in quantity, I wanted to watch more matches of my favorite team
At this point i've been watching LOL matches more than any sports that i used to love (football, billiard, basketball) 😂
higher stakes in most matches, while watching matches of similar level teams, resulting in less stomping. Excellent!

It’s nearly that time of year again…
I thought the winner of MSI was supposed to earn an additional slot for their region. Shouldn't there be five LCK teams?
I thought so as well and there was to be match LEC vs LCS who will get 3 seeds, but I guess something has changed.
Major regions (KR, CN, EU, NA) get 3 seeds. Winner of MSI gets an additional slot for its region (reserved for the winner of msi in case they qualify for playoffs but don't make top3). Second seed at MSI (assuming second seed is from different region than winner) gets a fourth slot for its region that isn't reserved for the runner up...
@@sinus7249 LCK and LPL had four teams at Worlds in 2022 and 2023.
They changed it this year

Will the playoffs be seeded like this: #1 vs #8, #4 vs #5, #2 vs #7, #3 vs #6, or will there be a draw?
it's likely going to remain the same as last year: 3-0 teams will be on opposite sides of the bracket and guaranteed to play against a 3-2 team on their first match, and the remaining teams are drawn randomly
Finally they made playins and probably swiss all unique matches (no one will get rematched until knockout)
Hope that knockout stage doesn't do a "no same region match up" (it defeats the draw and forcing obvious match ups because four teams qualified are from same region (so match A, B, C, D will include either LPL/LCK or which region actually makes all teams in their region to knockout or maybe both teams (LPL vs LCK)
There was never such a rule in previous worlds?
This has never been a thing for knockout. We’ve had several world’s where we have most of the LCK teams on one side of the bracket and LPL on the other.
WOW 60 games of CORKI AZIR MAOKAI RENEKTON SEJUANI K'SANT
just make the change to fearless
LpL tried fearless, but it changed almost nothing. Same 30 champs picked either way. Either the coaches try something new on their own or Riot needs to ban like 50 different champs each month from competitive play to enforce a change.
@@sooos_2294because that’s not fearless, LPL allows opposing team to select champion the other team selected from the previous game
If fearless is installed in BO5, you will see 50 different champs, that’s 1/3 of the current game champ pool
@@marcustang8784 assuming it goes to game 5...
@@ayKohe at least you won’t see the same champion in first 3 games
Even if the series is a 3-0, you get 30 different champs
However in LPL, if team A pick a comp in game 1 , team B can pick the same comp in game 2 that’s why it was useless
Just off the top of my head we’ve had Azir, Trist, Yone, Yasuo, LB, Zeri, Ez, Tali, Akali, Ahri, Galio, Nasus and Garen in the mid lane during summer playoffs. I don’t know region or how many games you watch but you’re misinformed.
This is so well edited, really effective explainer while incredibly exciting and smooth. Genuinely great craftsmanship from the whole team behind this video
Can’t wait for this year’s Worlds!

For the love of god add double elim for the knockout and have playdays during the week instead
Of only weekends. How many blowout finals and events where the best matches happen in semis or quarters do you intend to have?
lol Single elims for life
@@skrattaoppar9753 That's what bads say. Double elim is scientifically the best system.
double elimination only favors the losers why would they add it? it is unfair for the winner bracket finalist they dont have 2nd chance, that would also lower the chance of upset and lowering the stakes of worlds
@@jaceown You clearly don't know how double elim works if you think it's unfair to the winner bracket finalist. When you are winner bracket finalist, and you get into grand finale vs the loser bracket finalist, you have 2 "lives", the loser bracket finalist need to win 2 times (you can check any SF double elim bracket finals to see how it works). But that said, I'm also not a fan of double elim for lol, a BO3 and BO5 final in knockout is enough.
@@bobmorhane6745 Never gonna happen. You'd have to hold a Worlds Finals, only to say "Well, if the lower bracket team wins it, we're gonna have another Finals in a few days". Logistically and climactically absolutely impossible, unless you have the teams play a best of 10 right then and there.
I like this format, never change it.
in swiss stage does this mean that all 16 teams will play at the same time simultaneously to get the 3 wins or losses ?
NGL it's a bit sad we'll probably never see double elim during knockouts and it's a real shame. Last year was a 3-0 without a single sweat for T1 while they sweated way more during semis vs JDG where they needed a miracle play from Faker to pull back the victory for T1.
Because double elim just ruins the hype. Losers shouldn't get another chance.
@@Darkstormsun9865 yeah lol like its not fair and we will not see a run like DRX since double elim gves chances to loses...less adrenalin when the stakes are not high
@@samwisehuluberlu2210 theres no way drx wouldve won if that year was a double elim lmao
@@RedBreaddexactly 😂😂
@@Darkstormsun9865
Its not really that. Nothing wrong with double elimination, its just Riot are morons.
Its the facf that they DONT GIVE A BRACKET RESET IN CASE THE UPPER BRACKET TEAM LOSES I MEAN THATS HOW YOURE SUPPOSED TO RUN A DE FORMAT GO TO WIKIPEDIA ITS CALLED COMPETITIVE INTEGRITY
The fact double eliminations haven’t been added for the knockouts yet is so disgusting.
Double elimination without a bracket reset ruins the point of “double elimination” imagine thinking DE without a reset is a “competitive format” 😂😂
Boooo go touch some grass, do you even wonder why sports play single eliminations

Always love to see these videos!
The opening ceremony ❤
1:53 so you mean that for example like KT met DK in 2023 Swiss Stage, then they got a rematch to decide DK or KT will continue, but that won't happen in this year right? Well, great change 😎👍👍
The clip and audio don’t match. In 2:38, the clip is of Sylas and Akali’s 1v1 but Drakos is saying “Apotheosis!!!” (Nilah’s ult) 😂
Apotheosis means "becoming godlike" it may have nothing to do with the champs just worlds in general. Win worlds, become a god.
Any chance your gonna stop the scalpers selling tickets ? Every ticket is gone within a half a second of sale. Living in the UK and playing league since it started seeing worlds live was always a dream.
Arcane + worlds are going to save my year

Will it still be possible to buy tickets for the final?
Would be nice if anyone could get tickets for the finals
wait what happened to all the no major region teams in play-ins this year?
Swiss stage is the best thing ever
Looking forward to the worlds song year too 💙❤️💙
Add an extra team from each region made from top ranked solo queue players for each position.
League esports it's not the same than other esports, an extension of solo q.
If they'd have to compete, it'd be something like this:
pro >> academy > amateur >> solo q
I am very sad for Latin America and Brazil, they killed their leagues so that the American league can survive after the failure that was the LCS. I can't imagine how frustrating it must be for organizations to work hard for years creating a community only for Riot to destroy it and loot the remains to glue whats left to the LCS corpse. The saddest thing is that the players who manage to pass will have to leave everything to go to a foreign community with a foreign language, in a place strange to them.

This literally is last years format from the Swiss Stage onwards, except for the new no rematch rule.
@@liquidorion9250 hello? are you slow? you don’t think ai know that? the rematch format is better than knockouts is what I meant lil bro

Quick question, is it possible for KT to still be in for worlds?
They'd have to qualify through the Regional Finals, winning against BNK and the loser of the T1-DK match
GIGABIN IS COMING
So swiss is just get to either 3 win or 3 lose
yes
3 wins= direct round of 8.
3 loss= direct go to airport.
Will there be Buchholz in play ?
I SEE THE SNOW MAP HYPE
i still dont like final bracket single elimination format because you can place significantly lower in the standings by getting unlucky. for example lets say that g2 would win against weibo but lose against blg, if g2 starts against weibo they make it to semifinals, but if they get matched against blg they fall in quarters. and some other team could place semifinals even if they were worse than g2. this is just a hypothetical but a team can hypothetically finish either 3rd or 7th based on luck alone who their first opponent happens to be in quarterfinals. i hope that makes sense. unless theres a separate loser bracket to get the teams in order but where they cant get 1st place anymore. then the format is fine i think.
edit: lets say that blg would be the best team and second best team would be hle for example, if hle matches into blg in quarterfinals they end up like 5th at best, but if they face anyone else they would make finals. that doesnt seem like a good format to me.
Well at least riot has finally acknowledged, even implicitly, that the 20 teams that go to worlds aren't the 20 best teams in the world.
When will the world song come out? Im excited

LET'S FIRE UP! 🔥
Still no double elim...the issue is that we don't get to see the two best teams in the finals. JDG vs T1 was very much the final last year
Because the 2012&2022 worlds. If there has Double-Elim, There's no miracle, no story, just how they spend much money for lineups
On 2021 and 2022, besides single elim, we'll saw best teams on the Finals twice.
And what of it? Seeing them play on a different date has no difference.
Please make a true sight bruh .We need to know how the situation for the certain teams
Last time we see this peak format before the new League esports kicks in next year.
I doubt the league changes will change worlds. There will just be less teams.
@@Darkstormsun9865 At the very least there's Fearless draft likely coming next year.
And a possibility that we are actually getting new map overhaul by Season 15 since current SR map is 10 years old now.
@@CoreZeroPH I hope they keep fearless out of playoffs. People only want it because it's new but it's only gonna create a new meta People will hate and lose competitiveness.
@@Darkstormsun9865 exactly it feels unprofessional, its like drawing up a play in basketball and being told you can only use it once. Also at some point professional teams will start picking the same champions in the same sequence in fearless so it will change almost nothing.
it's not acceptablt to have some many Doran's clips but not other World Champion owner.
does single elimination punish good or bad teams?
It makes teams do their best or go home. Double elimination it doesn't even give a 2nd chance to the team that made it from the upper bracket and it can allow to the other strongest team in the tournament to practice on the meta, so unless there's a team skill difference, a team from the lower bracket will gain an advantage for the Grand Final in League.
Swiss Stage is high stakes, single elimination, too, Swiss Stage and every match mattering it just made the quality of matches and competition better, only problem it was some team could qualify because of a lucky draft, as it was the case of NRG when they drafted G2.
Will champions skins be coming?
10 years ago I would have been excited about this. Now I struggle to be bothered at all. I mean we all know it's just gonna be the LCK and LPL battleing it out. The only question is if all western teams get clapped in swiss already or if a team manages to get clapped in quarter finals... idk I just don't see us even getting close ever again at this point.
NA made it out of swiss so and EU generally does as well. I don't know why this is a question.
i wanna see the GOAT casters JUN and captain flowers!
Berlin gets most of games, nothing in Italy or Spain, another tournament in London and France, I hate that
