Fans discovered that a BLG player almost gave up after the mic check with T1 was released
As of now, the 2024 World Championship finals have taken place nearly a month ago. However, for many fans, especially T1 and Bilibili Gaming supporters, the echoes of that match are likely still felt. Thus, the newly released clip about BLG’s reactions and the mic check of the players continues to attract viewers’ attention.
Notably, although it is just a brief mic check accompanied by the reactions of BLG members and LPL fans, viewers can clearly see a BLG player almost surrendering despite teammates continuously encouraging him. That player is Knight, who seemed to completely give up after Keria canceled his Teleport leading to BLG’s losing fight in the Top Lane.
After the failed play, even though Knight was still alive and his teammates urged him to hold the defensive position, this player could not hide his stunned expression. Knight also remained silent for the rest of the match until T1 completely destroyed BLG’s nexus to claim the championship.
The mic check during the match against T1 revealed Knight’s weaknesses
Despite having participated in the World Championship multiple times, facing T1 was Knight’s first time reaching a final match. And his psychological weaknesses became evident. Even though he was still playing his comfortable champions, Knight could not maximize his effectiveness, especially in the two decisive games.
Moreover, in critical situations, Knight could not shine like his older counterpart – rival Faker on the other side. His performances can be considered solid. But in a match like the World Championship finals, facing T1, merely being solid is not enough to secure victory. And BLG lost simply because they played well, but T1 was the better team.
