The truth behind BLG's breakthrough revealed: the coaching staff enforces strict discipline, with players submitting daily assignments, and Daeny plays a key role.

Greetings to all LPL fans and League of Legends summoners, welcome to Tianxia Game Hub.

In the Peak Group match held yesterday, BLG decisively defeated IG to claim their fourth consecutive victory at the season's start, showcasing a level of dominance. Only one match remains in the first round, and they stand a good chance of finishing undefeated.

Following the match, BLG’s off-stage VLOG attracted widespread attention and discussion.

The truth behind BLG’s surge: a coaching team with rigorous demands.

After forming this roster last year, BLG’s performance at the Demacia Cup was disappointing, suffering unexpected losses and failing to advance from the group stage. Their initial results were clearly unsatisfactory. In the league phase, BLG’s opening match against WBG was also a tough win, with both teams dragging the game late before BLG narrowly secured victory.

Additionally, other Peak Group matches felt like weak teams clashing, leading many viewers to doubt the overall strength of this year’s LPL, believing no team could truly challenge the LCK.

However, BLG quickly proved their critics wrong with outstanding form. Following their win over WBG, BLG’s performance improved steadily. Early on, some lingering issues from last year were still visible, but soon BLG unleashed their full power, with both individual players shining and teamwork improving significantly.

Recently, viewers discovered the secret behind BLG’s breakout in their VLOG: since coach Daeny joined, he has required every player to submit a daily assignment after each match, summarizing their performance. The standards for players have become much more demanding.

Daeny identifies issues, highlighting problems in strategy and coordination.

The so-called “homework” assigned by BLG’s coaching staff means players must, after every match, reflect on their feelings about the game, note what needs to change, and identify weaknesses, then submit this to the coaches who make adjustments accordingly. This way, players gain insights after each game.

Moreover, the review sessions shown in BLG’s VLOG have been well received. Previously, BLG’s post-match analysis was poor, lacking value and failing to solve problems effectively.

In an earlier interview after joining, Daeny mentioned that BLG had many shortcomings in strategy and teamwork that needed improvement. Shortly after his arrival, BLG quickly got back on track. Daeny has found a playstyle suited to this top-tier roster, allowing players to fully utilize their skills, making it easier for the team to achieve strong results.

Last year, BLG faced major issues during the World Championship stage, with both players and coaches unable to resolve them. On the field, players often fought individually, aiming to outplay opponents alone, with almost no team coordination, leading to easy defeats.

BLG has high potential but still needs continuous growth.

In my opinion, BLG’s biggest regret is the S14 finals. From today’s perspective, the matches between BLG and T1 were very close; BLG dominated in two games but ultimately fell short due to draft choices and handling of critical moments.

Editor's note

Faker stepped up to save the team in a dire situation, while BLG’s self-ban of Skarner and On’s crucial Q-flash mistake on Rell in the final game prevented them from gaining an advantage, resulting in their loss.

Compared to T1, BLG still lacks the ability to adapt in BO5 series extending to games four and five, and players’ mental states fluctuate. This explains why T1 is so difficult to beat; their extensive experience allows them to approach crucial matches with calmness.

Editor's note

Reflecting on this, we must say BLG still has a long way to go before restoring glory for the LPL. Despite their current good form, what BLG needs most is to stay humble and focused. Even if the league’s intensity is insufficient, they must keep improving to match the strength of top LCK teams, giving them a real chance to perform well on the international stage this year.
