Worlds 2021 knockout stage is basically Worlds 2016 all over again, and I will prove it to you.

Worlds 2016 Knockout Stage

Three Korean teams (SKT, ROX, and SSG) handily dispatch their opponents to advance to the semifinals alongside another major region team that had to dispatch another team from their "region" (H2K defeats Albus Nox Luna, who is basically European) . The semifinal matchups had the two favorites to win the tournament facing off against each other (SKT vs. ROX), including a team trying to win back-to-back World Championships. The other semifinal matchup has a Korean Team that was not supposed to perform as well as they have vs. the last hope for a Non-Korean vs. Korean final (SSG vs. H2K).
