Worlds 2025 Swiss Stage Round 5 Matchups
After Round 4 ended, the final matchups were drawn The Round 5 draw show happened on October 24, right after the last series between T1 and 100 Thieves. The Swiss format makes sure every matchup is fair—teams can’t face each other twice, and they’re always paired with others holding the same win-loss record.
At first, the draw matched T1 with CTBC Flying Oyster (CFO), but this was invalid because they had already met in Round 2. A redraw fixed the lineup, giving us the three final, do-or-die matchups that will decide who reaches the quarterfinals.
Here are the final matchups for the Swiss Stage of Worlds 2025:
- CTBC Flying Oyster vs FlyQuest — 10 PM PT (Oct. 24) / 7 AM CEST / 1PM CST
- Top Esports vs Bilibili Gaming — 1 AM PT / 10 AM CEST / 4 PM CST
- T1 vs Movistar KOI — 4 AM PT / 1 PM CEST / 7 PM CST
Complete Matchup Preview
CTBC Flying Oyster vs FlyQuest
The first game of the Worlds 2025 Swiss Stage Round 5 features two underdog stories. CTBC Flying Oyster, representing the LCP, has shocked fans with their strong performances against major-region teams. On the other hand, FlyQuest represents North America’s last hope and is fighting to secure a rare spot in the quarterfinals.
No matter who wins, this match guarantees that at least one non-LCK and non-LPL team will reach the top eight alongside G2 Esports from the LEC.
Top Esports vs Bilibili Gaming
The second match of the Worlds 2025 Swiss Stage Round 5 is a tough one for Chinese fans—both Top Esports (TES) and Bilibili Gaming (BLG) are from the LPL, and only one can advance. This means China will end up with two teams in the quarterfinals: Anyone’s Legend, and whichever team wins here.
Historically, BLG has the edge over TES with a 15–11 record this year, but recent results tell a different story. TES has looked stronger at Worlds so far, while BLG has been inconsistent. Both teams will need to perform at their best to survive and keep their Worlds hopes alive.
T1 vs Movistar KOI
The last match of the Worlds 2025 Swiss Stage Round 5 features defending world champions T1 taking on Movistar KOI, the breakout team from Europe. Korea already has three teams in the quarterfinals, and T1 hopes to make it four.
Still, Movistar KOI has been one of the biggest surprises of Worlds 2025, proving their strength with an impressive Round 4 win over Team Secret Whales. If they can upset T1, they would make the LEC the only non-Asian region with multiple teams in the quarterfinals.
What’s on the Line
The Worlds 2025 Swiss Stage Round 5 carries massive stakes. Three teams will earn their place in the quarterfinals, while the other three will be eliminated from the tournament. Powerhouse regions like the LCK and LPL have dominated so far, but teams like CTBC Flying Oyster and Movistar KOI are challenging the old order.
Will a minor-region miracle continue? Can TES or BLG make a deep run? Or will T1 defend their title by taking another step toward the finals?
Conclusion
It’s the final battle before the tournament heads to Shanghai, and every team will be giving it everything they’ve got. After all the intense matches we’ve seen so far, Worlds 2025 Swiss Stage Round 5 will decide which eight teams truly deserve a place in the playoffs. Who will rise, and who will fall? October 25th will reveal who earns their spot—and their legacy.
