The Swiss round at Worlds 2024 has entered a tense period with a series of matches that decide the fate of the teams. The latest draw schedule clearly shows that the strong teams are facing off directly to compete for the Knockout spot, while the teams in the losing bracket do not have many opportunities to correct their mistakes.

Knockout matches:

DK vs TES (10/10):

This is a much-anticipated match between two powerful representatives of LCK and LPL. DK has shown consistent strength throughout previous matches, with sharp macro ability and a playstyle that revolves around Canyon and ShowMaker. TES, on the other hand, is having instability in form, but still possesses top players like Knight and JackeyLove.

The key point in this match will be the ability to control the jungle and mid lane. DK's Canyon will face Tian, ​​who is known for his fierce attacking style. This match could be decided based on which team can control the big objective and disrupt their opponents' play. TES will have to take advantage of every opportunity to stop DK, but with their current form, DK is still rated higher.

G2 vs T1 (10/10):

G2 Esports and T1 are two teams with rich achievements and a long history of confrontation. G2 had strong performances, with Caps shining in the mid lane role. T1, led by Faker, is still one of the hardest teams to beat thanks to their excellent teamwork and flexible tactics.

However, T1 needs to be careful with G2's "adventurous" playing style, especially in team fights. This match promises to be a battle of wits between Caps and Faker, and if G2 can play closely, they can completely surprise. On the contrary, if T1 controls the fighting situations well, they will have a great advantage going into the Knockout round.

HLE vs FLY (October 11):

Hanwha Life Esports (HLE) from LCK will face the representative of LCS – FlyQuest. HLE was rated much higher with the appearance of Viper and Zeka, two stars who had impressive performances. FlyQuest, meanwhile, has not shown good performance at Worlds 2024 and this will be a big challenge for them.

This match may go in favor of HLE if they continue to maintain their form. FlyQuest needs to find a way to stop Viper's power in late-game fighting situations, while not giving Zeka the opportunity to initiate fights too easily.

Knockout matches:

TL vs GAM (October 11):

The match between Team Liquid and GAM Esports is "life and death", when the losing team will be eliminated immediately. TL is in more stable form with an even lineup and the excellence of CoreJJ and Yeon. Meanwhile, GAM encountered many difficulties in previous matches, with serious mistakes in goal control and ineffective gameplay.

If GAM wants to win, they need to improve the coordination between Kiaya and Levi, and take advantage of small opportunities to create mutations. TL, with the advantage of experience and personal skills, will try to control the match from the beginning and not give GAM a chance to create turnovers. This is a match that could be very tense, but TL has a big advantage.

WBG vs FNC (October 12):

Weibo Gaming will face Fnatic in the knockout match. Both teams had disappointing performances, but this will be their last chance to prove their mettle. WBG owns TheShy and Karsa, experienced players, but they need to improve their stability if they want to go further. Fnatic, on the other hand, is looking to keep their spirits up after losses, and their ability to compete will depend heavily on Humanoid and Razork.

GBV vs PSG (October 12):

The match between Bilibili Gaming (BLG) and PSG Talon seems to be quite one-sided, with BLG being rated higher thanks to their strong squad and better individual skills. PSG has played quite stably but still not enough to overcome big opponents. If BLG doesn't make serious mistakes, they can absolutely win.

The Swiss round of Worlds 2024 is entering the decisive phase with dramatic matches and no room for mistakes. Teams will have to fight hard to win tickets to the Knockout round or retain hope in the tournament. With balance between regions and reasonable competition format, this is definitely the most anticipated stage of this year's tournament. Prepare for the best fights and surprises ahead!
