Exciting LoL Worlds 2025 Swiss Stage Draw for Round 5 Unveils Thrilling Matchups
The Swiss Stage of the League of Legends Worlds 2025 has produced exciting matchups and tension-filled moments. As the round comes to a close, multiple teams are vying for a spot in the quarterfinals.
Key Developments from the Swiss Stage
As of Friday, the fourth round confirmed that at least two teams from regions outside the LCK and LPL would reach the quarterfinals. Here are the significant match outcomes:
- Hanwha Life Esports defeated CTBC Flying Oyster.
- G2 Esports overcame FlyQuest.
- Movistar KOI triumphed over Team Secret Whales.
- Bilibili Gaming and T1 both achieved 2–0 victories against Vivo Keyd Stars and 100 Thieves, respectively.
As the final day approaches, six teams remain in contention for three quarterfinal spots. The matchups are redrawn after each round to prevent any rematches under the Swiss format.
LPL’s Challenges and Prospects
The draw has posed significant challenges for the LPL teams. The remaining Chinese representatives, Top Esports (TES) and Bilibili Gaming (BLG), will compete against each other. This matchup will determine which team advances, ensuring the LPL will have only two representatives in the top eight.
The LCK has already secured its top three seeds in the quarterfinals and is expected to add a fourth team, with T1 facing Movistar KOI next. One team from neither the LCK nor LPL, either FlyQuest or CTBC Flying Oyster, is also set to join the finals.
Match Insights: TES vs. BLG
The upcoming clash between Top Esports and Bilibili Gaming features compelling statistics. This year, both teams have faced off 26 times, with BLG winning 15 matches compared to TES’s 11. In the Summer Split playoffs, BLG won both encounters, showcasing their competitive edge.
| Team | Matches Played | Wins |

Despite recent struggles, TES has shown resilience, defeating 100 Thieves and G2, while facing losses against KT Rolster and Gen.G, the tournament front-runners. Both teams must elevate their performance to succeed in the Swiss Stage and advance deep into the playoffs.
