This showdown determined the final team to secure a spot in the quarterfinals, and ultimately, it was BLG who emerged victorious with a 2-1 win over G2 Esports.

A Significant Milestone for the League of Legends Scene

BLG’s triumph not only advanced them to the next stage of the competition but also marked a significant milestone for the League of Legends professional scene. For the first time in nine years, the EMEA region, which had consistently produced top-tier teams, was left without representation in the top eight.

Faced with the specter of elimination, G2 came back strong with an unconventional team composition, showcasing their unique style and seizing control of the early game. BLG managed to stabilize the match with a pivotal teamfight, erasing G2’s lead and turning the tides. The game hung in the balance until the very end, with BLG securing the team buff at the Elder Drake pit. However, G2 refused to concede defeat and clawed their way back into the race, forcing a decisive game 3.

BLG’s Steady Advantage and G2’s Resilience in Game 3

LPL Dominance and EMEA’s Regretful Record

With BLG’s victory, all four teams from the LPL region secured their spots in the finals stage, constituting half of the remaining teams in the competition. On the other hand, G2 Esports’ elimination marked a regretful record for the EMEA region, with no European team making it to the quarterfinals for the first time in nine years.
