Each Quarterfinals match will be a best-of-five series in which the losers will go home, while the winners will remain in Madrid for the Semifinals in the first week of November.
The last match of Groups spelled either the death of NA or the death of the previous World Champions. And the reaper just happened to show up on North American soil, as IG dominated in the final match, and sends TL back home.
The last day of Group Stage launches DWG into the first seed for Group D, where they join SKT and GRF who finished first in their respective groups earlier on the week. All three teams finished 5-1! Is this another year of LCK Worlds victory.
Starting the day in a three way tie with TL and IG at 2-1, DWG won their first two games and become the first to advance out of Group D. Sitting at 4-1, they only have AHQ left, and defeating them will guarantee first seed.
Coming out of the first Round Robin, AHQ sat at 0-3 and needed to go 3-0 on elimination day to qualify to the Worlds 2019 Knockout Stage. Invictus Gaming shut out that possibility in just the first game, read about it here:
In an announcement this evening, LoL Esports Latinoamérica issued a statement on Twitter saying that tomorrow's League of Legends Worlds Championship broadcast is cancelled due to protests in Santiago de Chile.
The first game in the final day of the 2019 League of Legends World Championship Group Stage will be the the IG veteran's first start since August 23rd in the 2019 LPL Summer Playoffs.
With SKT qualifying right out of the gate, FNC and RNG were going to have to fight for the last spot! And after an exciting game, the home crowd favorites, FNC, take the win and advance to Madrid!
After a near hour of game-play (and a lot of Infinity Edges), Clutch's Nexus fell. While it was an incredibly difficult road they needed to travel to make it to Madrid, it would've been a beautiful one if they did. Alas, they join their fellow NA reps, Cloud9, on the trip back to LA instead.
SKT came in to the second Round Robin with a 3-0 record, needing only to beat either RNG or FNC to secure a place in the Knockout Stage. As fate would have it, they beat RNG in their first game!
Let's dive in to everything that's happened in the OWL off-season this week.

On Friday morning, Stephen "Mortdog" Mortimer, the lead designer of Riot Game's Teamfight Tactics, unveiled details of what's to come in next week's 9.21 patch, the final one before Set 2 kicks off. To the delight of those who have been playing the game since 9.20 went live, Pantheon, and the Guardian bonus as a whole, are being nerfed. Additionally, Lissandra and Draven are being knocked down a few pegs in terms of their effectiveness. The Hextech origin is being tweaked as well.
Group A still has a bunch of games left to play, but already the qualifiers have been separated from the eliminated. GRF started off the day with a win over C9, and G2 followed them up, both qualifying for the Knockouts!
What started with a hopeful rebound for Cloud9 ended rather quickly as they lost their first game to Griffin, requiring G2 to go 0-3 AND lose in their tiebreaker for C9 to make it through.
