Worlds 2023 features 22 teams from nine regions, with the LPL and the LCK being the only regions with a guaranteed four-strong contingent. Riot Gameshas introduced a number of changes to the format, most notably replacing the round-robin group stage with a Swiss stage.

That said, NRG weren’t able to show up in the quarterfinals. Weibo Gaming shut them out in decisive fashion.
