League of Legends Worlds 2023 is underway as the Swiss Stage has begun. All 16 teams have played their first match and have separated themselves into two halves in terms of records. For most of the matches, all the favorites have won.
LPL has looked the most dominant thus far, while LCK is not that far behind. LNG, G2, and Weibo Gaming got the most dominant wins, while MAD, NRG, and DK were quite disappointing. Both LEC and LCS have 1 wins each so far in the tournament.

The time of the games is still not given, but they will be starting on October 20 as all of them are best of 1s. Let’s hope for some good matchups in Round 2.
