Worlds 2025 Swiss Stage Day Nine: One More Victory for Qualification

There are three spots in the Worlds Bracket Stage left for teams to grab. One best-of-three win stands between the six teams and a qualification berth. Top Esports and CTBC Flying Oyster are looking to fight off the 2-0 to 2-3 curse. Movistar KOI could become the first team to go from 0-2 to 3-2 and give T1 their worst finish in the organization’s history.

Worlds 2025 Swiss Stage Day Nine Schedule

The final day of matches sees three Bo3 series. The first begins at 10:00 PM PT (7:00 AM CET, October 25th). CFO takes on FlyQuest first, followed by TES Versus BLG, and will finish with MKOI against T1.

Worlds 2025: CTBC Flying Oyster Versus FlyQuest Prediction

CFO 2-1 FLY

At the start of the tournament, everyone rated CFO and FLY on a similar level. At their peaks, there is little to separate the teams. However, FLY has looked shaky in the tournament and had a weak performance against G2 Esports. Massu and Inspired mentioned that they have no chance of beating the rest of the teams in the competition if there is no improvement. On the other side, CFO has played against AL and HLE, pushing both teams. It does seem that CFO’s style has been figured out, but unless FLY improves, it is unlikely they will have the tools to beat them.

Worlds 2025: Top Esports Versus Bilibili Gaming

TES 1-2 BLG

A rematch of the LPL Summer Upper Bracket and Grand Finals. BLG came out on top in both occasions. Heading into this match, neither team is looking comfortable. Since winning the first two Bo1s against Western opposition, TES has fumbled. They have not looked like winning a game, let alone a series. BLG struggled to get past VKS and has looked beatable throughout. BLG has at least shown some positive signs in the form of Knight, and he should be enough to carry BLG over the line.

Worlds 2025: Movistar KOI Versus T1

MKOI 1-2 T1

On paper, this match should not be close. T1 is the defending World Champions. However, the LCK fourth seed is nowhere near the form that we expect of them. Doran is having his usual Worlds subpar performances, Oner has looked shaky, and Keria is struggling. T1’s clutch factor should be enough to get them over the line against an MKOI who are not playing their best. One positive for MKOI is the mid lane. Jojopyun has had dominant laning phases, while Faker struggles in that aspect. If Jojopyun can garner advantages, MKOI might have a chance. However, Supa will need to step up his game against Gumayusi.

A Three-Day Break

Tomorrow will be the final day of the Worlds Swiss Stage. Once the games conclude, a draw for the Quarterfinals will take place. The Bracket Stage will kick off on October 28th in Shanghai.
