The semifinals
Both semifinals were best-of-fives starting at 5:00 PM ET, which is the 4 PM Central start Riot gave in its primer.
- Saturday, November 7: Gen.G 3–0 Invictus Gaming. Gen.G won in the minimum three games.
- Sunday, November 8: Bilibili Gaming 3–1 T1. T1 took one game, and BLG won the other three.
LoL Esports' bracket lists only the series scores, so we haven't gone game by game here.
How each finalist got there
The quarterfinals ran from November 3 to 6. LoL Esports' bracket has these results:
- Gen.G 3–0 LYON (November 4)
- Bilibili Gaming 3–0 Dplus KIA (November 5)
The other two quarterfinals produced the losing semifinalists: Invictus Gaming beat Top Esports 3–1 on November 3, and T1 beat Karmine Corp 3–1 on November 6.
That makes Gen.G the only finalist yet to drop a game in the knockouts, with two 3–0 wins. BLG's one lost game came against T1 in the semifinal.
