The new format of the League of Legends World Championship Swiss stage has been met with overwhelming praise from players and fans alike. The change has been hailed as the “best Worlds ever” due to its entertainment value and heightened excitement.
Previously, the group stage format was favored by Riot Games, but this year’s Worlds 2023 introduced the Swiss stage. Despite initial hesitation from some players, the new format has proven to be a hit. Every match-up has been captivating, leading to a surge in enthusiasm among esports fans.
One of the key advantages of the Swiss stage is that it adds more stakes to each match. This has resulted in several thrilling and high-stakes encounters, making for truly blockbuster days. Additionally, the format change has generated wider interest, as fans now have to keep track of all the teams and their journeys throughout the tournament.
The unpredictable nature of this year’s event has also contributed to its success. Surprising performances from teams like TL against T1 and GAM’s unexpected progress have added to the excitement. The pros have quickly realized that they have limited chances to qualify for the quarterfinals, intensifying the competition.
Overall, the League players are raving about the format change brought in by Riot Games. The combination of eye-catching matches, meaningful encounters, and increased viewership has made this year’s Worlds a resounding success. Fans eagerly anticipate the upcoming elimination matches between Cloud9 and Fnatic, as well as MAD Lions and Weibo Gaming, hoping for the hype to continue.
