[Epic Battle in Five Games, WBG Becomes the Fourth Seed]
On the third day of the World Championship qualifiers on September 2nd, WBG and JDG faced off in a "life or death" match, with the winner securing the last spot for the LPL region in the World Championship, while the loser would be eliminated. Ultimately, after a grueling five-game series, WBG defeated JDG 3:2 to become the fourth seed of the LPL.
In the first game, JDG's bottom lane player Ruler's Ezreal successfully broke through, and in the late game, they secured Baron and wiped out the opponent, pushing down WBG's base to win the game. In the second game, WBG gained an early laning advantage and capitalized on the opponent's decision-making errors in the late game, ending the game in one push and tying the series. In the third game, WBG's bottom lane player Light performed brilliantly with Miss Fortune, helping the team win multiple team fights. With Light's double kill, WBG won the game. In the crucial fourth game, JDG started with a "one for three" trade and gained the upper hand through better team coordination in the mid-game. After securing the Dragon Soul, JDG pushed down the opponent's base, forcing a decisive fifth game. In the final game, due to JDG's decision-making errors, WBG established an early advantage, and Light's Ashe delivered maximum output. WBG ultimately crushed the opponent and secured the last ticket to the World Championship!
[Heading to Europe, Ready for Battle]
As the double champions of this year's LPL Spring and Summer, BLG's competitive form can be described as "heroic." With the addition of players knight and Wei this season, the synergy between the top, mid, and jungle has become more seamless, and the bottom lane duo has repeatedly stabilized the situation at critical moments, becoming the key to BLG's consistent victories. We believe that BLG, carrying the LPL Spring and Summer championships, can achieve great results on the World Championship stage and raise a toast to their beliefs!
As the second seed, TES has a roster filled with players experienced in major tournaments, except for mid-laner Creme. Especially noteworthy is the bottom lane duo of support Meiko and JackeyLove, who have garnered much attention for their impressive performances during both the laning and team fight phases. We believe that TES will give their all on the world stage and shine brightly, fighting with no regrets!
Winning their match on the second day of the LPL World Championship qualifiers, LNG became the third seed for this year's competition. This season has not been smooth sailing for LNG, but their expertise in defense, counter-attacks, and long-term operations allowed them to stand out towards the end of the season. With experienced mid-laner Scout and bottom-laner GALA providing stability, along with the continuous growth of other team members, we believe this "Kirin" can soar high in the World Championship, appearing majestically in the clouds!
The WBG team, which experienced some ups and downs this season, ultimately smiled to the end. As last year's runner-up in the World Championship, they demonstrated remarkable resilience and perseverance in this LPL World Championship qualifier, especially the bottom lane player Light, who led the team to final victory multiple times with his consistent performance. We hope that the WBG team can continue to fight courageously on the world stage, born to win!
