You guys better bring the LCK referee to do the draws for the swiss stage :)

Keep giving these to Medic. He always knocks it out of the park.
Very articulate, evenly and well paced, I never need to go back and rewind something I didn't understand.

people should be grateful that LPL and LCK 4th seed don't get to play-ins, it will just be a slaughter

[argoniocalcio]

No rematches on Swiss Stage? Thank you

Now that it's in Europe, the LEC teams won't have to spend so much on plane tickets home.

[HariiLord]

Honestly it would be nice if i could get tickets to a finals held in my country after playing the game for 11 years but i guess thats not how the world works

[TheCrispAlien]

Prediction: The theme song for the tournament will predict the winner.

[meganecrozma]

Man if only people were able to get tickets for finals and semis.

[gustavoo.]

I'm so hyped for the Worlds Anthem with Faker

[javierhello]

There must be arcane related stuff too right? This year’s worlds gon be real lit

[HellowTLol]

상혁이형 부담 가지지 말고 늘 형이 원하던 각을 만들어서 경기하면 좋겠어 이번 월즈 힘내

[jpnguyen]

I like this year’s format better. Last year the VCS 2nd seed lost once and was eliminated in the playins bc they lost at the wrong time, while GAM lost but was able to make it to the swiss stage. Not repeating matchups is also good.

[madamada]

talk about how the swiss stage is in the tiny LEC studio too you forgot about that one

[coolweebsalert]

Can't wait for the opening ceremony

[johnnymonsterrrr]

The format: you cant buy tickets because every single one got botted and now is really for 10x its price

[BerbSon]

As long as we can't buy tickets for finals they shoudn't upload any video about it :)

[gabrielramos]

WOW 60 games of CORKI AZIR MAOKAI RENEKTON SEJUANI K'SANT

just make the change to fearless

[Sawash]

higher stakes in most matches, while watching matches of similar level teams, resulting in less stomping. Excellent!

[MrPada]

Forget the Hype, the editor/Designer killed it. Great video 🔥🔥🔥

[handheld]

The clip and audio don’t match. In 2:38, the clip is of Sylas and Akali’s 1v1 but Drakos is saying “Apotheosis!!!” (Nilah’s ult) 😂
