KOI and Keyd Stars each recorded a 2-1 victory on Sunday in their respective Round 3 Low Matches in the Swiss Stage at the $5 million League of Legends 2025 World Championship in Beijing.
The two winning teams advanced to the Round 4 Low Matches, while the two losing squads were eliminated.
KOI sandwiched 27- and 29-minute wins around a 27-minute setback to Fnatic — all on blue.
Keyd Stars had a 26-minute victory on red before PSG Talon answered with a 34-minute triumph on blue. Undaunted, Keyd Stars responded with a 35-minute win on blue.
Teams need three wins in the five-round Swiss Stage to reach the Knockout Stage, while teams with three losses will be eliminated. All matches are best-of-one except for elimination and advancement matches, which are best-of-three.
Eight teams will make the Knockout Stage, a single-elimination bracket starting Oct. 28 where all matches are best-of-five. The winner of the Nov. 9 grand final will earn $1 million, with $800,000 going to the runner-up.
Play resumes Wednesday with two high matches: Hanwha Life against CTBC Flying Oyster and G2Esports playing FlyQuest. All four teams are 2-1.
