Well, the final match just concluded, and we finally know which team has been disqualified from the tournament and which four teams make it to the Knockout Stage. Those who missed the round robin stage also missed some of the most exciting games from this year so far, though we’re here to tell you everything about them.

So, without further ado, here are all the teams going to the League of Legends 2025 First Stand Knockout Stage.

Team Liquid gets eliminated from First Stand 2025

After having one of the strongest first days in the tournament against Karmine Corp, Team Liquid continued to go on a disappointing losing streak. The team didn’t manage to even nab one round against TES or CFO, while Karmine Corp saw a surprising win against TES, cementing its place in the knockout stage.

Everything boiled down to the last day of the round robin stage when TES and Team Liquid were the only ones in the hot seat. Liquid’s match was against Hanwha Life Esports, one of the strongest teams in the tournament. HLE, in typical HLE fashion, went for unconventional picks to see what the team could get away with.

Although HLE won the first round, Liquid managed to get the second game, exciting Liquid’s fans worldwide. If the team had won the second game, TES would have been eliminated instead of them. Unfortunately, HLE decided to lock in and take down Team Liquid in the third game, knocking the team out of the tournament.
