Worlds 2023 Swiss Stage Day 8 Schedule
NRG vs G2 Esports [8am BST]
NRG, 1st seed of North America, was knocked down in the first round by Weibo Gaming. They proceeded to defeat Team Liquid and MAD Lions in the next two rounds, landing them in a strong spot to secure qualifications and make top 8 at Worlds 2023. The only problem?
G2 Esports stands in their way. The LEC juggernaut has been on a tear, having faced down Dplus KIA and Weibo Gaming (victories over both). They did lose to Gen.G, however. Now the LEC is on the cusp of having their first of their teams make it over to the Knockout Stage.
G2 is currently commanding 93% of the Strafe viewers’ 1810 predictions. Pretty sizable weightage for them to make it out with a 3-1 record.
T1 vs Bilibili Gaming [11am BST]
Ooh, T1. The favorites of the LCK have yet to qualify for top 8. In their way is a familiar old foe, Bilibili Gaming. T1 has had a stellar record thus far against NA, having defeated both Team Liquid and Cloud9. The loss to Gen.G remains their sole loss so far at Worlds 2023. Can they retain that record?
Bilibili Gaming, or BLG, is another strong contender to make top 8. Having accrued wins over KT Rolster and Fnatic, their sole loss has been to JD Gaming. This marks them so far as one of the stronger looking teams in the Swiss Stage so far. Now they have to defeat T1 once again if they seek to make top 8 with a 3-1 record.
Surprisingly, Strafe viewers are very in favor of T1 winning this series. 72% of the 1734 predictions have been for T1, making this a supposed landslide for T1.
