Bin, a prominent top-laner in the LPL, consistently makes headlines with his post-game updates. Following BLG's 3-2 victory over WE and MSI qualification, Bin exclaimed, "I'm back for MSI." This achievement also makes Bin the first in LPL history, surpassing Xiaohu's four MSI appearances with his own five consecutive qualifications. (Since 2022, Bin has made it to MSI every single year—truly impressive.)

The BLG vs. WE BO5 was packed with excitement. After BLG dominated Game 1, LPL caster Guan Zeyuan predicted a clean sweep for BLG. However, WE showed remarkable resilience in the following games, pushing the series to a decisive fifth match. Unfortunately, WE's draft in the final game was subpar, leading to a disappointing finish and missing out on MSI. In the post-match interview, BLG jungler Xun admitted the match was nerve-wracking, saying that if BLG lost to WE again, he couldn't imagine how the public opinion would turn.

Xun also attributed BLG's victory to their draft advantage, noting that WE's Game 5 pick was terrible. After seeing WE's composition, he told his teammates they had already won. WE's lineup lacked almost any AP damage, causing them to fall off mid-game. (Many viewers believe WE top-laner Cube made a critical mistake in Game 4—if his Renekton flash-Q hadn't missed, WE might have beaten BLG 3-1 and qualified for MSI. What do you think?)

Off the stage, HLE's AD carry Gumayusi watched the BO5 live. During his stream, viewers reminded him that he would face Viper at MSI. Gumayusi joked about Viper's poor form, saying that if Viper keeps playing like this, BLG will be in trouble. (I personally don't understand why Viper is struggling so much—dying in teamfights has become routine, and his laning has plenty of mistakes. Do you think Viper can beat Gumayusi?)

Trash talk between the two teams heats up

Every year before the LPL final, players and coaches record "trash talk" interviews. This year's TES vs. BLG version is the most entertaining in recent LPL history, as both sides—players and coaches—were bold in their taunts. TES mid-laner Creme joked about Bin's nose, saying, "Bin isn't satisfied with his nose, so he tells more lies—after all, liars' noses grow longer." BLG top-laner Bin fired back, saying he never expected to go five games against WE and that facing TES tomorrow would be easier.

BLG mid-laner Knight also called out Creme, stating that Creme has been improving recently and that if he can beat Knight, he'll be the LPL's best mid-laner. But the highlight of the trash talk segment came from TES coach Poppy, who declared the championship was definitely TES's. He sarcastically added that if BLG wanted the title, he, as an "industry coach," could award it to them. (This references Poppy's earlier comment after BLG lost to T1 in 2024, where he said BLG were the "industry champions" because they would win 90 out of 100 matches against T1.)

Conclusion

After WE's loss to BLG, most fans felt sorry for WE, as many love an underdog story. Of course, BLG's win was based on their own strength—their roster is arguably the strongest in the LPL. Many believe BLG has a real chance to win MSI this year. What do you think are BLG's odds? Can TES redeem themselves and defeat LCK teams at MSI this time?
