BLG vs WBG – LPL Summer Playoffs Preview
Surprisingly, WBG has made it to the LPL Summer Playoffs final. Nearly a year after their Worlds final appearance, they have a chance to secure their spot at Worlds 2024. However, they must first face BLG, the dominant team in the Chinese league.
Let’s assess both teams’ recent form and strategies leading up to the highly anticipated showdown in Nanjing on August 30.
Series Breakdown
BLG boasts an impressive lineup on paper, retaining core players from last year and adding Knight in the mid lane. With the addition of Wei from RNG during the LPL Summer split, BLG’s potential has soared. Wei’s performance has been stellar, potentially making him a key starter for the team. BLG’s strength lies in their solid early-game and proactive playstyle.
On the other hand, WBG has shown inconsistency, primarily due to individual errors. Despite this, their strategic planning and ability to support Light and Tarzan compensate for their shortcomings. Xiaohu’s improved performance is crucial for their drafting strategy, which BLG must be wary of. Expect BLG to target WBG’s bot lane to gain an advantage and limit Tarzan’s impact.
The top lane matchup between Breathe and Bin will be a highlight, following their unexpected swap last year. While BLG is favored for their consistency, WBG is not to be underestimated, and a 3-1 scoreline is a likely outcome.
