LoL: What to watch this week

From now until November 19, 22 of the best teams in the world have descended unto South Korea for the yearly battle of the best to see who will lift the Summoner's Cup. The League of Legends World Championship is currently taking place in Seoul with today being the first official day of the tournament.

However, yesterday was the Worlds Qualifying Series that determined the 22nd and final team that will make up the list of contenders at the tournament. In a battle of the ages between LEC and LCS, it was the former who came out on top once again as Team BDS sent Golden Guardians home in a 3-0 sweep.

The rest of this week will be focused on both rounds of the Play-In Stage, which features eight teams that will compete for just two spots in the Swiss stage. There are two groups of four teams each that will battle it out on the Summoner's Rift with only the top two of each group that will qualify to the next round.

From there, these final four teams will play a best-of-five series in a single-elimination bracket to determine the final two teams that will join the rest in the Swiss stage. These are the matches you can look forward to this week:
