No room for another slip
G2’s path now runs through HLE, meaning one of the two major-region contenders will leave Worlds before the knockout stage. The all-LPL meeting guarantees China another quarterfinalist, while LYON gets its next opportunity against Invictus Gaming.
Liquid and LOS both survived elimination on October 26: Liquid swept Anyone’s Legend, and LOS beat Team Secret Whales. Only one can keep its run going.
