A quick recap of Worlds 2025 Swiss Stage Day 5:

We had incredibly exciting and dramatic matches on Day 5 of the Swiss Stage Round 3. Every series was played in a Bo3 format, and a single loss meant elimination from the tournament.

The remaining stage of the Worlds 2025 Swiss Stage will take place from October 22 to 25. Fourteen teams remain — some on the verge of elimination, while others are just one step away from reaching the Knockout Stage. Teams that secure three victories advance to the Knockout Stage, while those that suffer three defeats are eliminated from the tournament.

Elimination and advancement matches are played in a Best-of-Three format with the Fearless Draft system, adding greater strategic depth to every matchup. All other games are played in a Best-of-One format, where every move matters — a single mistake can change the entire outcome of the game.
