TES vs BLG: Match recaps
Return to this section for highlights and analysis of the game after the end of the series.
Match 1
For Su "xiye" Han-Wei, the pro player who made the draw for these matches, "the moment I drew that civil war [BLG vs TES], my soul had already left my body." And now, only one more Chinese powerhouse will be alive in the tournament.
The first match started strongly for Top Esports, but momentum began to shift as ON turned the tide with his bold Neeko plays. Knight's Ziggs was way too powerful, dealing a lot of magic damage and taking down the towers easily and fast.
BLG’s rapid comeback, fueled by Xin Zhao’s aggression and Yunara’s ramping damage, combined with Neeko’s precise engages, left TES with no room for Orianna or Lucian to scale or deal meaningful damage, ultimately preventing them from having the impact TES had hoped for.
With this first match, Elk broke the record for international kills, surpassing GALA in 9th place with a total of 516 kills.
Match 2
This was one of those days where ON woke up ready to carry. As a support, his impact can sometimes be overlooked, but today, he was all about aggression, paving the way for BLG’s path to victory. The game quickly started tilting in BLG’s favor, with great engages and picks.
However, Top Esports didn’t falter despite BLG’s early lead. Creme dealt massive damage on his Azir, while 369 showcased his dominance by soloing Bin in the top lane. TES dominated in objectives, and their scaling potential made them a huge force in team fights. Even when BLG seemed to have a strong pick, TES’s overwhelming damage completely decimated the opposition. In the second match, Bin broke the same record as Elk, but this time at 7th place, achieving 526 kills and surpassing Perkz.
And now, both teams are one game away from advancing to the LoL Worlds 2025 Playoffs.
Match 3
Allowing Kanavi to pick Qiyana, one of his strongest champions, was a bold move by BLG. However, in the third match, a well-timed gank in the top lane swung momentum in BLG’s favor, securing crucial kills for their carries. They were stronger in objectives, but to win, they couldn't let Smolder scale.
Later in the game, BLG attempted another push toward the top lane, but TES was prepared and turned the advance to their advantage. Still, Kanavi struggled with his signature Qiyana, while BLG’s strength in team fights remained undeniable. However, two very good team fights were crucial for TES to regain power and regain match control.
In a battle of titans, Top Esports came out on top and is now at the LoL Worlds 2025 Playoffs.
