Worlds 2023 Knockout Schedule
The Worlds 2023 Knockout Stage will begin with Quarterfinals, a mirrored-seeding of all eight teams that advanced from the Swiss stage. The only advantage for higher-ranked teams is that they will be seeded into matches that pit them against the lowest-ranked teams to advance. These are the quarterfinals teams that will compete for a chance to see the Worlds 2023 finals stage.
The last eight undefeated teams are NRG, WBG, GEN, BLG, JDG, KT, LNG, T1.

GEN.G VS BLG – November 3, 2023 – 1 AM PST
JDG VS KT – November 4, 2023 – 1 AM PST
LNG VS T1 – November 5, 2023 – 1 AM PST
Semifinals come after, with each of the winners of the Quarterfinal matches advancing to face another winner.
There is no double-elimination in Knockouts, you lose and you’re out.
Semifinals Matchups: November 11, 12, 2023
WINNER OF GEN.G/BLG VS WINNER OF NRG/WBG – Unknown
WINNER OF JDG/KT VS WINENR OF LNG/T1

November 19, 2023 at 12 AM PST.
