Player knight also achieved the feat of four consecutive league championships with his outstanding performance, becoming the most valuable player of the finals.
[Spring and Summer Champions, Winning the Silver Dragon]
The two teams had previously faced each other in the playoffs, where BLG defeated WBG with a score of 3:0. As the 2024 LPL Spring Champion, BLG had been on a winning streak since the beginning of the season, defeating strong teams along the way. WBG, with their resilience, emerged from the losers' bracket in the playoffs to reach the finals. In the final showdown, BLG proved to be the better team, defeating WBG to win the 2024 LPL Summer Championship.
In the first game, BLG's bottom lane duo took the first blood, and mid-laner knight secured a solo kill, establishing an early advantage for the team. Jungler Wei further snowballed the lead by securing two dragons, leading to the first win. In the second game, although WBG's jungler Tarzan initiated the game with Nidalee, BLG capitalized on WBG's mistakes with their strong laning skills, gaining a significant economic advantage in the mid-game and securing another victory. In the third game, WBG's support Crisp had an outstanding performance with Alistar, making crucial plays in team fights to gain an early advantage. However, during the Baron fight, ELK's calm execution resulted in a pentakill, dragging the game to the late stage. BLG grew stronger and eventually closed out the game, defeating WBG with a 3:0 score to become the 2024 LPL Summer Champion and the number one seed of the LPL region!
Having achieved the feat of winning both the Spring and Summer championships in the same year, BLG became the fourth team to do so, following Shanghai EDG in 2014, RNG in 2018, and Beijing JDG in 2023. Notably, player knight secured the finals MVP with his excellent performance and became the first player in LPL history to achieve four consecutive championships.
