CTBC Flying Oyster lost their elimination series to Karmine Corp this morning, so the LCP has no team left at Worlds 2026. Top Esports won the other series to become the fifth team into the Knockouts.
Karmine Corp beat CTBC Flying Oyster 2-0 at the Worlds 2026 Swiss Stage this morning, according to Riot’s official Worlds schedule. Both teams came in at 1-2, and the Worlds 2026 Primer says three losses end your run. CFO are out at 1-3 by our count, and Karmine Corp live on at 2-2.
That ends the run of the LCP, the league the primer lists for Asia Pacific. CFO were its last team standing, as our round four preview set out yesterday. You can watch the full series in the CFO vs. KC VOD on the LoL Esports channel.
In the 10am series, Top Esports beat Bilibili Gaming 2-1. Both were 2-1 going in, so TES take the Knockout spot at 3-1 and BLG drop to 2-2. The BLG vs. TES VOD is up as well.
By our count, the Knockouts now hold Gen.G, Dplus Kia, T1, Invictus Gaming and Top Esports. That leaves three places. The Day 6 highlights are below if you missed the morning.
Saturday 31 October has the last two elimination series. Team Liquid Alienware play LOS at 7am, then G2 Esports meet Hanwha Life Esports at 10am, all in Sydney time as Riot’s page shows it. Every round four series is best of three, and the losers go home.
Round five follows on Sunday 1 November at 4am, 7am and 10am. Riot still lists those teams as TBD. By our count they will come from the 2-2 group: Movistar KOI, LYON, Karmine Corp, Bilibili Gaming and Saturday’s two winners. After that, the Quarterfinals run from 4 to 7 November at 9am, and the Final is at 6am on Sunday 15 November.
This is not an Australian-team story. No Australian team is in the field as far as the sources we read show, and with CFO gone, the Asia Pacific league is out too. If you are still following along, set the alarm for 7am tomorrow. Our Swiss Stage summary has how the field got here.
