Summary:
- Round 4 of the League of Legends World Championship 2025 will feature six intense best-of-three matches filled with high stakes.
- The matches will take place from October 22 to 24, 2025, and are split into two types: qualification matches, where winners move on to the Knockout Stage, and elimination matches, where losers are completely out of the tournament.
- The teams that lose in the qualification matches and those that win in the elimination matches will meet again in Round 5 to fight for the final three spots in the Knockout Stage.
The Worlds 2025 Swiss Stage Round 4 is here, and the competition is getting tougher than ever. Two teams—KT Rolster and Anyone’s Legend—have already reached the Knockout Stage, while Fnatic and PSG Talon have been eliminated. That leaves twelve teams still in the fight for the last six playoff spots. Every match from now on could decide a team’s fate.
What Happens in Round 4?
The Worlds 2025 Swiss Stage Round 4 will be made up of best-of-three matches. Teams with two wins and one loss (2–1 record) only need one more victory to qualify for the Quarterfinals. Meanwhile, teams with one win and two losses (1–2 record) must win to avoid elimination.
The Swiss format means that matchups change after each round, and no team can face the same opponent twice. After a short break, Round 4 begins on Wednesday, October 22, and continues until Friday, October 24.
Round 4 High Matches (2–1 Teams)
These are the matches where winning means moving on to the playoffs. All three series will decide which teams reach the Knockout Stage first. Meanwhile, the losing teams will move to the 2-2 bracket. That would be their last chance to qualify for the Knockout Stage.
Hanwha Life Esports vs CTBC Flying Oyster
