There is an interesting fact that when SKT T1 won the MSI in 2017, no more LCK team won the championship in this prestigious arena. Meanwhile, representatives from LPL are constantly winning the MSI championship with the memorable victims of RNG (2018, 2021, 2022), JDG (2023. So before the MSI 2024, the LPL champion of this year – BLG is extremely highly appreciated by experts. For some people, BlG is still ranked on both Gen.G or T1.
The former BLV Caedrel even ranked BlG as the number one candidate for the MSI 2024 title
Typically among them is the former famous BLV – Caedrel when he thinks that the BlG is the strongest team at MSI 2024. However, this opinion of Cedrel has created a fairly large controversy on social networks. Specifically, just a few days after Cedrel shared his opinions, the former Doublelift player spoke out and said it was a mistake. Even Doublelift also said that the current BLG is “not the same level” with the LCK representatives.
“Honestly, I think it is completely wrong to evaluate the BlG on Gen.G or T1. MSI this time. – Doublelift responded to Caedrel's assessment of BlG stronger than Gen.G and T1 at MSI 2024.
Doublelift frankly assessed BLG: “Based on the performance in the last LPL final, BLG does not have the same level as the Gen.G and T1 at the present time. Why? BLG plays that game is not excellent, even Knight is still invisible and very bad at some time. I think that T1 and Gen.G will be the most powerful candidates for the MSI brand. enemy “
Indeed, when looking at the Spring LPL final 2024, the common performance of BLG or Knight individual proved not too convincing. Knight himself in that match made relatively heavy position errors and made him and his teammates difficult. Even in the 3rd game, Knight's standing too risky at the fight at Baron cave caused BLG to pay expensive when Tes won later.
In game 3 when the match was in a struggle, Knight had a very “uncomfortable” position and ate the opponent's full -rise tape, causing BlG to lose fighting and the 3rd game.
Contrary to the erratic of BlG or TES, Gen.G and T1 shows an extremely solid and methodical gameplay. The LCK Spring Final 2024 is a very clear evidence when both of these teams perform macro ability and excellent fighting. Obviously with the perspective of a former player like Doublelift, the gameplay of Gen.G or T1 shows a lot more convincing than BLG.
The 2024 LCK LCK final between T1 and Gen.G has extremely high professional quality
Naturally, BLG still has its own advantages at MSI 2024 as the advantage of home audiences or support from the tournament history. However, they still have to make a lot more effort in the near future to be able to compete fairly with genes.g or T1. It will be a sad perspective for the LPL area if they have the MSI championship on the home field in the upcoming tournament.
