BLG’s Scrim Results Disappointing Against T1’s Defeated Foe
With a tournament gathering many strong representatives from regions like the 2024 World Championship, scrims are an extremely important part of teams’ preparation processes. Good scrim results, while not guaranteeing victory, still indicate that a team is in a good state and high form. However, in the case of BLG, a very unfortunate news about this team has been revealed just before the 2024 World Championship finals against T1.
Accordingly, LPL commentators revealed on a livestream that BLG had extremely disappointing scrim results against Gen.G. The reason stems from BLG’s failure to find a way to stop Kindred in Canyon’s hands from controlling objectives and the map, ultimately resulting in multiple defeats. Clearly, in the context of Gen.G’s recent loss to T1, this information left LPL viewers shocked. It significantly reduced the confidence of LPL fans in BLG’s ability to defeat T1.
“Black Magic” is also on T1’s Side, Against BLG
Not stopping at the scrim results, one of the LPL commentators – Quản Trạch Nguyên, predicted that BLG would defeat T1 with a score of 3-2. It should be noted that in the LPL region, commentator Quản is famously nicknamed “always wrong” as his predictions often contradict actual results. If VCS fans are familiar with the “black magic” of “sorcerer” Hoàng Luân or “sorcerer of doom” Mai Dora, then Quản Trạch Nguyên brings something similar to LPL viewers.
Therefore, as soon as Quản Trạch Nguyên’s prediction was made, many LPL viewers shook their heads in dismay. Many believe that BLG will face defeat again, as even “black magic” is on T1’s side in the upcoming finals. Even the Sohu website published a rather “pessimistic” article regarding commentator Quản Trạch Nguyên’s prediction, stating that all hopes of the LPL region have completely ended.
Fairly speaking, it is quite understandable for commentator Quản to make a prediction favorable for BLG. He knows that the LPL has seen a decline in viewership in the past season, so he hopes for BLG to win the championship to inject new life into this region in the next season. However, for many viewers, Quản Trạch Nguyên’s history of “always wrong predictions” looms large, and his good intentions may turn against BLG.
Of course, with the 2024 World Championship finals yet to be played, all predictions are merely for reference. Should commentator Quản Trạch Nguyên predict incorrectly again and T1 wins the 2024 World Championship, it is likely that he will regret it and face much backlash from LPL fans.
