BLG vs GAM MSI 2025 Play-In Stage Round 1 Match Result

The Mid-Season Invitational is in full swing with a total of 10 teams from across all major regions competing in the second international League of Legends tournament of the year. This time around, the competition seems incredibly fierce given how brutal the format is with Fearless Draft and only best-of-five (Bo5) series for the entirety of MSI. 

Having said that, let's take a look at the match between the LPL second seed Bilibili Gaming and the LCP second seed GAM Esports.

The second match of MSI was a very one-sided given how much BLG was able to deny crucial objectives from GAM and secure significant gold leads early into the games. Despite GAM trying their hardest to come back and rival the LPL number two seed, Bin and Knight were unstoppable as it seems the Chinese team is once again gearing up to be an international slaughter machine, despite going against an APAC region team.

However, the LPL fans have been extremely critical towards BLGs domestic performance, leaving analysts to wonder has Bin's magic finally worn off or are they simply waking up to their true form. Regardless, GAM put up quite the fight despite getting stomped in final game and losing 3-0 in this series.
