Recently, Bilibili Gaming (BLG) surprised everyone again by defeating Weibo Gaming (WBG) – the “all-star” team of LPL. Not only did they surpass a very strong name, but the BLG players also improved as the match went on. Moreover, this can be seen as a “revenge” as BLG currently has 2 former players from WBG – Bin and ON.
Notably, SofM not only accurately “read” the drafting strategies of both teams but also expressed surprise at the remarkable progress of the BLG players. SofM acknowledged that Bin’s team has adopted more diverse strategies by utilizing a wider range of champions. Particularly, certain standout moments were showcased by these two players. In fact, at the end of game 1, SofM even remarked that ON was so relaxed that he was prepared to “create content” right in the crucial match.
Additionally, SofM commented that BLG is an LPL version of T1 but not yet truly perfect. Regarding T1, SofM noted that “they always win the lane” while BLG has not yet met this criterion. However, due to their strong teamfighting and creativity in gameplay, BLG secured victory over WBG. Furthermore, SofM believes that WBG tends to give up easily whenever they feel the match is slipping out of control, even just a little.
SofM remarked: “BLG played well. Normally, ON doesn’t like to pick champions like Leona – Zeri. But ON’s choice of Leona was necessary, and that’s why this matchup was won. BLG picked a duo that didn’t need to win the lane, but they are extremely strong in teamfights. That’s what led to BLG’s victory.”
It can be seen that BLG has been improving day by day compared to themselves back in Summer 2022. If they can really address their weaknesses in the laning phase, BLG can definitely think about further prospects. This team has also undergone many personnel changes and is currently proving they are still on the right track.
