BLG vs MDK – A Challenge for the LEC Team

After a tumultuous play-in stage filled with surprises, the top 16 teams for Worlds 2024 have been determined. With a tight schedule ahead and 8 matches in the first two days, the competition is heating up. Predicting outcomes has become increasingly tricky, but the BLG vs MDK series might not hold as many surprises. Despite a strong showing in the play-ins, the LEC team faces tough odds against the #1 seed from the LPL.

However, drawing BLG in the first round could be a blessing in disguise for MDK. It will serve as a litmus test to measure the gap between Western and Eastern regions, and they won’t have to face BLG again in the immediate future.

Match Breakdown

MDK showcased good form in the play-ins, particularly with standout performances from Supa and Alvaro. The bot lane matchup between Elk and ON will be one to watch, as well as the top lane clash between Myrwn and Bin. Elyoya could be pivotal for MDK against Wei, while Fresskowy faces a tough challenge laning against Knight.

While BLG are the favorites, MDK can still make a statement by holding their ground and putting up a strong fight.
