It’s that time of year again, with the Play-In Stage completed, the League of Legends World Championship is finally about to kick off off in earnest giving us a full month of action packed contests between the best teams in the world.
The unofficial opening to Worlds 2017 was last week’s Play-In competition which saw a fourth team qualify to each of the World Championship’s four groups. The teams in these groups will face off against one another two times during the tournament’s Group Stage with the top two teams from each group advancing to the World Championship Knockout Stage.
During the Knockout Stage, teams will be placed in a head to head, single elimination bracket with best-of-five series determining who moves on and who goes home, eventually leading to the Worlds Grand Final, where a new, or perhaps repeating, World Champion will be crowned.
Once again this year, a portion of the tournament’s prize money will be crowdfunded through the sale of the Championship skin, which belongs to Ashe this year.
You can watch the games on Riot Games’ Twitch channel and through LoL Esports’ YouTube.
This post will be updated at the conclusion of each day of play.
