BLG achieves an epic one-vs-five run, Faker awakens in a do-or-die match to advance, and four major teams from China and Korea qualify.

Greetings to all LPL fans and League of Legends players, this is World Game Hub.

Today, League of Legends hosted two crucial matches: the LPL Stage 2 final and the LCK's battle for the second MSI seed, with both games displaying starkly contrasting outcomes.

Ultimately, BLG dominated TES to claim the Stage 2 title, while T1 staged an upset over GEN to become the second seed.

An epic one-vs-five run: BLG emerges as the champion.

Just yesterday, BLG faced a do-or-die situation, pushed to a 2-1 deficit by WE before clawing back two games to survive. Many expected today's final against TES to be equally thrilling, but BLG cruised to a 3-0 sweep. TES once again turned into a spinning top on the finals stage, getting thoroughly outplayed by BLG.

In terms of gameplay, there was a clear gap in raw strength. In the first game, Bin and Knight immediately intimidated TES with dominant performances in their lanes.

The second game once again highlighted the disparity in mid-jungle-support roles, as the opposing support's Thresh repeatedly gave away opportunities that BLG exploited.

In the following third game, Bin brought out Sion. The early game was back-and-forth, but TES's teamfight formation fell apart at the slightest contact. Bin's Sion engaged and secured an easy victory, sealing the sweep for BLG.

After the match, Knight was named Finals MVP, becoming the first player in LPL history to win eight finals. Simultaneously, JKL set a historical record of seven finals losses, a mark that stands alone at the top of the league's all-time list.

Faker awakens in the decisive game, qualifies for MSI for the ninth time.

In contrast to the LPL's one-sided affair, the LCK match was full of twists and turns. Initially, GEN crushed T1 with ease, dominating almost the entire game, leading everyone to think the match was over. However, in the second game, GEN started making mistakes, committing consecutive errors in the mid-game that T1 capitalized on to even the score.

Ruler's form began to falter; in the third game, his Senna continued to underperform. Faker experimented by picking Sion mid-lane, and T1's superior late-game teamfighting allowed them to take the match point first.

In the fourth game, however, Faker started struggling. His Lissandra performance was poor, ending with a 0-5 score. Peyz went on a rampage for a while, but in crucial teamfights, multiple issues arose for T1, allowing GEN to seize the opportunity and win, sending the match to a final do-or-die game.

In the deciding game, Faker pulled out his signature champion Ryze, awakening his demon king form. In a critical late-game teamfight, he secured a triple kill to ace the enemy. Chovy's Twisted Fate underperformed, even using his ultimate while low on health directly into Faker's face. The audience eventually concluded that Chovy had "agreed" again — even before Worlds this year, Chovy was already fading.

With T1's victory, Faker became the first player in history to qualify for MSI nine times, with a previous record of two championships and three runner-up finishes.

Four powerhouse teams gather: the most exciting MSI storyline.

Ultimately, the four teams from the LPL and LCK advancing to MSI are BLG, TES, HLE, and T1. In my opinion, this is arguably the best possible scenario for a China-Korea showdown at MSI. All four teams have intriguing storylines from Worlds. First, we must mention TES and HLE: Kanavi was still playing for TES last year, and during the First Stand tournament, TES was dominated by HLE like a spinning top.

After last year's First Stand, TES earned the nickname "spinning top." Plus, Kanavi later moved to HLE, so a rematch between them carries immense narrative weight.

T1 themselves are a massive draw for viewership; Riot would love for them to participate in every official event to guarantee high ratings. T1 also have deep rivalries with the two LPL teams. Against BLG, they narrowly won the S14 world championship 3-2, which nearly crushed the LPL region. Against TES, they also dominated them like a spinning top, creating a knockout-stage disaster.

Furthermore, the matchups among teams from the same region are also highly dramatic. The former ZOFGK members are now split across two teams: during the regular season, HLE had the upper hand, but can T1 get revenge at the international stage? On the BLG side, Knight is known as the strongest "prime minister" of the LPL and a legendary "JKL catcher," almost always winning easily when facing JackeyLove.

In summary, this year's MSI with these four teams is bound to generate the highest viewership. Who will ultimately lift the trophy? Let's wait and see together.
