League of Legends' World Championship progresses to the knockout stage after the remaining quarter-final places were decided over the weekend.
Following the final group stage matches, it was Korean team ROX Tigers and the Russian Albus NoX Luna who topped Group A.
In Group B, South Korean reigning champions SK Telecom T1 came in first, while the only remaining American team - Cloud9 - finished second.
Group C had one of the tournament favourites H2K Gaming take the top slot, followed by Chinese team Edward Gaming.
Lastly in Group D, it was the much fancied Samsung Galaxy who took first place, with second place being decided by a tiebreaker game between Team SoloMid (TSM)and Royal Never Give Up (RNG).
The American side TSM struggled to defeat RNG, after an early three-kill assault gave RNG a significant initial lead that it managed to maintain as the game unfolded. TSM attempted to hold on to the game - even managing to hold back a final RNG push into their base by defeating the entirety of the opposing team - that ultimately wasn't enough.
The knockout stage will continue this Friday, October 14 when Samsung Galaxy faces Cloud9.
This is followed by SK Telecom T1 against Royal Never Give Up on Saturday, ROX Tigers versus Edward Gaming on Sunday and finally H2K Gaming and Albus NoX Luna on Monday.
League of Legends' World Championship - more commonly known as Worlds - is an annual tournament for the game that brings together the various champions of regional leagues that are played throughout the year.
The Worlds acts as the grand finals for the annual season of League of Legends, and plays host to the largest prize pool of the year in all eSports.
