Round four of the Worlds 2026 Swiss Stage is under way, and two more teams are through. CTBC Flying Oyster, the last LCP team left, now have one best-of-three to save their tournament.
This morning’s two series were between teams at 2-1. T1 beat Movistar KOI 2-0 at 7am, and Invictus Gaming beat LYON 2-1 at 10am, according to Riot’s official Worlds schedule. The times here are as the page shows them in Sydney.
That puts T1 and Invictus Gaming into the Knockout Stage with three wins. They join Gen.G and Dplus Kia, who went through 3-0, as our summary of the first three rounds set out. Movistar KOI and LYON drop to 2-2 by our count, so round five decides them.
Friday is the one to set an alarm for. At 7am on Friday 30 October, CTBC Flying Oyster face Karmine Corp. Both are 1-2 by our count, and the Worlds 2026 Primer says three losses end your run, so the loser is out. At 10am, Bilibili Gaming play TOP Esports, both 2-1, with a Knockout spot for the winner.
Saturday 31 October has two more elimination series between 1-2 teams. Team Liquid Alienware play LOS at 7am, then G2 Esports meet Hanwha Life Esports at 10am. Every round four match is best of three.
Round five follows on Sunday 1 November at 4am, 7am and 10am, with the teams still to be decided. After that, the Quarterfinals run from Wednesday 4 to Saturday 7 November at 9am, the Semifinals are on 8 and 9 November at 9am, and the Final is at 6am on Sunday 15 November. You can catch up on the Day 5 highlights above, and our round three preview set up CTBC Flying Oyster’s round three match.
This is not an Australian-team story. No Australian team is in the field as far as the sources we read show, but the LCP is the league the primer lists for Asia Pacific, and CTBC Flying Oyster are its last team standing. If you want to see whether they survive, you need to be up at 7am tomorrow.
