Does anyone know how teasers or trailers will be made if teams are going straight into semifinals right after quarterfinals? How is Riot able to make teasers without knowing who's going to advance?

It's definitely possible for Riot to make quality teasers without knowing the match immediately. For example, these two teasers for the VCT Champions finals in 2024 and in 2025 were made without knowing the exact finals matchup until the night before (since lower finals is played the day before grand finals). More than likely they'll just record as much as they can in advance.
How will they do it?
Same like any other esport production of the last 10 years. Almost every esport tournament in history has a "finals" weekend where content has to be produced ad-hoc or beforehand.
They will reuse same clips with different voice overs like they did for Swiss stage teaser to their qualification/elimination teaser.
they have 3 days for the first one and 2 days for the second. swiss was prob harder
Likely had more media days than usual so they cover all scénarios
They will make different teasers for each team combo in most cases or just have a bunch of clips ready for each team and get it edited on that night/next morning
