Since AL faced various top teams from LCK during MSI and the Oil Cup, many LPL viewers have referred to AL as the "King of Foreign Battles." Some even believe that the current intensity of LPL matches is no longer sufficient to help AL grow, as AL's strength in LPL is significantly ahead. However, something unexpected happened for many AL fans: AL surprisingly lost to the defeated team BLG in their first match in LPL. Before the match, many LPL viewers thought AL would easily defeat BLG.

During the post-match interview, AL coach tabe revealed the reasons for AL's defeat. Coach tabe stated that due to the tight schedule, AL players had no time to rest, which led to many mistakes during the match against BLG. Many viewers agreed after seeing tabe's interview because the dark circles under AL players' eyes were quite severe. Some even began to worry about the mental state of AL players. According to AL's manager, AL players only slept four hours a day while competing for championships in MSI and the Saudi Cup.

BLG's new jungler humorously comments, sparking discussions.

After BLG defeated AL, BLG's new jungler shadow humorously posted, "I will keep working hard for my hair." It's worth noting that when shadow first joined BLG, he posted a photo of himself bald. Many LPL viewers joked that shadow was trying to fit into the team. After shadow led BLG to victory over AL as the MVP, he posted a picture of his bald head growing hair, which made many viewers laugh and joke that BLG had finally found a jungler to replace XUN.

Of course, many LPL viewers believe that BLG fans are celebrating too early. After all, every time BLG changes junglers, there is a "honeymoon period." Previously, when WEI was the starter, BLG won the championship without losing a single match in the playoffs, and when Beichuan was the starter, they swept TES and AL. Although shadow performed excellently in his debut, coach tabe also mentioned that AL players didn't rest well. Therefore, whether BLG can return to its peak still depends on the results of their upcoming matches.

The biggest dark horse of LPL has completely fallen!

In addition to BLG's first victory of the season sparking discussions among viewers, the biggest dark horse WE is facing a lot of skepticism in the third segment of the competition. It’s important to note that during the second segment playoffs, WE defeated JDG and TES in a dark horse manner to become one of the top four teams in LPL. Many viewers were looking forward to WE's performance in the new season, but something unexpected happened: WE has not won a single match since the new season began.

Of course, the main reason WE hasn't won in the new season may also be related to the opponents. WE faced IG in the first match, WBG in the second, and JDG in the third, so it’s reasonable that they couldn’t win against these powerhouses. However, I noticed that most teams in the LPL's peak group are also powerhouses (IG, TES, WBG, BLG, JDG, AL), and currently, only FPX has a roster similar to WE's. Therefore, I feel that WE can only look to FPX for their first victory of the season.

Conclusion

I was indeed surprised that BLG could defeat AL. What do you think? Was BLG's victory due to the players' excellent performance or AL's poor condition? Personally, I am really looking forward to shadow's future performance in BLG, as shadow has a very optimistic personality. BLG fans are reminiscing about XUN's great character, and I wonder if shadow will be accepted by the other four members of BLG.
