BLG lost to IG again, causing an uproar on their official account! Fans angrily criticized: Huge AD gap, replace the jungler with Beichuan.

In the third stage of LPL, IG and BLG played a BO3 series, where IG won 2-0, confirming second place in the summit group, and BLG ended up third. The quick double losses of BLG to IG triggered a lot of debate.

Initially, BLG’s official account was overwhelmed, with many fans angrily blaming the coach: opting for a four-protect-one ELK Varus in the decisive match was laughable! Some fans also criticized ELK’s performance: The AD is too weak, both poor and flashy, the gap with the opposing AD is huge, can’t win lane against anyone, keeps dying in team fights, and still no AD substitution — there’s no hope this year! Others demanded: Let Beichuan play instead, Shadow needs to practice Smite, we haven’t seen him win a Smite fight yet. Some fans even sympathized with Knight: It can’t be Knight playing if it’s this tense, just release Zuo Shou soon!

After the match, LPL official commentators Cryin, Guan Zeyuan, and Miller discussed BLG’s defeat reasons, stating: For BLG, this loss is a reminder that besides offense, attention to detail is crucial for further progress. Many details were still lacking in this game. With the playoffs BO5 coming soon, any mistake could be fatal. Bin previously said the goal is the championship, so the whole team needs to focus more on details.

During the loser’s interview, BLG coach Bigwei explained the reason behind the 4-ban jungler strategy, saying: It wasn’t intentional BP, but on the blue side, certain champions had to be prioritized. The last two bans were because IG didn’t pick a jungler.

When asked about losing to IG twice in a row, ELK admitted: The mid to late game team fights and decision-making were not good enough.

For BLG, ELK’s form indeed wasn’t good, so the coach picked a four-protect-one strategy without considering the player’s recent performance, which was a mistake. Overall, BLG lagged behind IG significantly. In the second game, Wei’s several reckless plays gave away many advantages, but BLG failed to seize opportunities or make a miraculous comeback. On the other hand, IG showed strong ability to capitalize on chances. No matter how big the disadvantage, they always seemed to have a chance to turn things around. Strong teams not only compete in mechanics and strategy but also need great resilience. If BLG can’t improve and adapt, the playoffs might be tough for them.

On the other side, IG has been improving steadily, showing strong team cohesion, especially in team fights where everyone’s thinking is clear. This is one main reason IG often pulls off big comebacks. Players cover for each other, and even if mistakes happen occasionally, they quickly recover. If IG keeps this form, they should be very competitive in the playoffs.
