The League of Legends Worlds 2025 Swiss Stage has officially kicked off, showcasing the world’s premier League of Legends teams. Day one brought fans a thrilling array of eight matches, featuring both expected victories and surprising outcomes.
In a standout performance, T1 demonstrated their dominance by defeating FlyQuest. Following an impressive win against Invictus Gaming prior, T1, led by the legendary Faker, entered this match with confidence. The Bo1 format made it a highly competitive face-off, but T1 ultimately asserted their status as the reigning champions.
Gen.G, a leading favorite to claim victory at Worlds 2025, lived up to their reputation by overcoming PSG Talon. The match was tighter than anticipated, but the strength of this LCK giant shone through, reinforcing their position as a top contender. Similarly, Top Esports impressed their fans by besting G2 Esports, while CTBC Flying Oyster secured a solid win against Fnatic, further solidifying their strong performance in the tournament.
However, the day was not without its shocks. Hanwha Life experienced an unexpected setback, losing to Anyone’s Legends, putting them in a precarious situation where they must secure a win against G2 Esports in their next match. Additionally, last year’s finalists, Bilibili Gaming, faced their own disappointment, falling to 100 Thieves. They will also be looking to bounce back in their upcoming game against Fnatic.
As the excitement continues, Round 2 of the Swiss Stage is set for October 16. Fans can expect intense matchups as teams vie for their chance to advance, making this year’s Worlds not just a tournament, but a thrilling spectacle of competition.
