Day 4 of the Worlds 2026 Swiss Stage ended on Monday, October 26, with Anyone's Legend, the LPL's top seed, eliminated and LOS earning its first win at the League of Legends World Championship. Team Liquid swept the Chinese side 2-0, while the Brazilian representative defeated Team Secret Whales by the same score.

T1 and Bilibili Gaming also won their best-of-one (Bo1) matches to improve to 2-1. The four results concluded Round 3, following a Sunday (October 25) that saw Dplus KIA and Gen.G secure the first two playoff spots.

Worlds 2026 Swiss Stage Day 4 Results

Here are all four results from Monday, October 26, in the order the matches were played:

With those results, T1 and BLG moved to 2-1, putting both teams one win away from the quarterfinals. CTBC Flying Oyster and Karmine Corp dropped to 1-2, joining LOS and Team Liquid, which survived their elimination series. Meanwhile, Anyone's Legend and Team Secret Whales became the first teams eliminated from the Swiss Stage, both finishing 0-3.

Anyone's Legend Exits Winless as LOS Stays Alive

The day's standout result was Team Liquid's win over Anyone's Legend. The LPL Split 3 champion entered Worlds as China's top seed, but exited the tournament with three series losses, without winning a single game. It was the first winless Worlds campaign for an LPL top seed since the league was established in 2013.

LOS, meanwhile, swept Team Secret Whales 2-0 to avoid elimination after opening the tournament with losses to T1 and G2. The series also marked a milestone for Duduhh, who, at 18, became the youngest Brazilian player to win a series at Worlds, according to Sheep Esports.

T1's victory over CTBC Flying Oyster also featured an individual milestone: Ryu “Keria” Min-seok surpassed Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok to become the player with the most assists in Worlds history. Monday's broadcast also honored former Fnatic jungler Cyanide, the 2011 world champion.
