Worlds 2023 Swiss stage format explainer
The Swiss stage sees teams with identical win-loss records face off until they secure either three victories or three defeats.
In the initial round, teams are paired randomly against teams from different regions for best-of-one games.
The matchups were determined through a draw that took place immediately after the Worlds 2023 Play-In Stage Qualifiers, following the thrilling series between Team BDS and PSG Talon.
In the second round, teams will be re-matched with others who share the same win-loss records, and this pattern will continue for an additional five rounds.
Rounds related to qualification and elimination will be a best-of-three series.
Ultimately, teams accumulating three wins advance to the Knockout Stage, while those accruing three losses bid farewell to the tournament.
Out of the 16 participating teams, eight will progress to the playoffs.
