When are the quarterfinals, and how are they drawn?
According to Riot's official primer, the quarterfinal draw was set for October 31: the two 3-0 teams face two of the 3-2 teams, and the other four teams are drawn into two more matches. At the time of writing the official schedule still shows "TBD" for all four pairings, so this piece does not name them and will be updated.
The schedule in Vietnam time on the LoL Esports site:
- Quarterfinals (best of five): 5 a.m. on November 4, 5, 6 and 7.
- Semifinals (best of five): 5 a.m. on November 8 and 9.
- Final: 2 a.m. on Sunday, November 15.
The knockouts are played in Allen, Texas. Only the final is in Brooklyn, New York.
Is any Vietnamese representative left?
No. Team Secret Whales finished the Swiss Stage 0-3 and was eliminated. MVK Esports is not among the 16 Swiss Stage teams, so it stopped in the Play-In. Both were the LCP's Vietnamese representatives at Worlds 2026.
