The Worlds 2025 Swiss Stage Round 3 results brought big surprises and disappointment for fans. On the final day, October 19, 2025, the first eliminations of the Swiss Stage took place as Fnatic and PSG Talon were knocked out of the tournament. Both teams lost their best-of-three matches in the 0–2 bracket—Fnatic fell to fellow LEC team Mad Lions KOI, while PSG Talon were defeated by Vivo Keyd Stars from Brazil.
Fnatic’s Disappointing Exit
It was a tough day for the LEC region as Fnatic and Movistar KOI had to face each other in a do-or-die match. No matter who won, Europe was guaranteed to lose one of its representatives, lowering the region’s chances to go further in the tournament. Still, both teams fought with everything they had.
The series began with KOI dominating Game 1, showing better teamwork and coordination to take an early lead. Fnatic bounced back in Game 2, playing one of their strongest matches of the tournament. They crushed KOI with a 21–3 kill score, led by aggressive plays and smart map control. Jungler Iván “Razork” Martín also broke Jarvan IV’s unlucky 0–9 Worlds record by winning with the champion.
But the momentum didn’t last. In the deciding Game 3, Fnatic tried to pressure early but couldn’t stop David “Supa” García’s Vayne, who became unstoppable as the game progressed. KOI took over every teamfight and closed out the match in under 30 minutes. With that loss, Fnatic ended Worlds 2025 with a 0–3 record, getting eliminated without winning a single series — one of their most disappointing exits in recent years.
PSG Talon Falls to Brazil’s Vivo Keyd Stars
The Worlds 2025 Swiss Stage Round 3 Results also showed PSG Talon getting eliminated after losing 1–2 to Vivo Keyd Stars (VKS). The Brazilian team dominated Game 1, winning 26–3 in just 26 minutes. It was a huge moment for Brazil and gave fans plenty to cheer about.
PSG Talon managed to bounce back in Game 2, tying the series 1–1 and showing signs of life with a 25–11 score. But in Game 3, despite keeping up in gold, PSG couldn’t find the right opportunities to win teamfights. VKS played slowly and carefully, and at 33 minutes, executed a flawless teamfight that wiped PSG off the map. They claimed the victory and moved to a 1–2 record, while PSG Talon exited the tournament with an 0–3 finish.
This loss was especially emotional for Huang “Maple” Yi-Tang, PSG’s legendary mid laner who came out of retirement earlier this year. Unfortunately, his return to the Worlds stage ended earlier than hoped.
What the Results Mean and Round 4 Preview
The Worlds 2025 Swiss Stage Round 3 Results proved how intense and unpredictable this year’s tournament has become. Every game feels like it could go either way, and big upsets are happening across all regions.
After this round, KT Rolster and Anyone’s Legend are now comfortable in their Knockout Stage spots. Fnatic and PSG Talon’s early exits show how even experienced teams can struggle under pressure. Meanwhile, Movistar KOI and Vivo Keyd Stars managed to survive and will continue their fight to reach the Knockout Stage.
The official Round 4 draw has revealed the next set of matchups for both the 2–1 and 1–2 brackets:
| 2–1 (teams with 2 wins and 1 loss) | 1–2 (teams with 1 win and 2 losses) |
| HLE vs CFO | KOI vs TSW |
| G2 vs FLY | BLG vs VKS |
| GEN vs TES | 100T vs T1 |
Teams like KOI and VKS now sit in the 1–2 bracket, which means they’re still in danger of being eliminated. If they lose their next series, they’re out of the tournament. But if they win, they’ll stay alive and get another chance to move forward.
Meanwhile, teams in the 2–1 bracket are fighting for a spot in the Knockout Stage. A win will secure their qualification, while a loss will push them closer to elimination.
Conclusion
Players and fans will have two days off before Worlds returns on October 22, 2025, with Round 4 matches. The Worlds 2025 Swiss Stage Round 3 Results show that anything can happen — even veteran teams can fall early while underdogs rise. For Fnatic and PSG Talon, their run ends here, but for others, the fight for a Knockout Stage spot is just getting started.
