G2 vs BLG 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 LEC second seed G2 Esports and the LPL second seed Bilibili Gaming.

Winner: BLG

Although BLG were favored to win the series, G2 fans still had some modicums of hope but in the end, the LPL second seed were able to decimate the LEC team by going 3-0 in this series.

Despite the first game dancing on the knife's edge towards the end, G2 were not able to close out the game which possibly resulted in a drastic mental boom for the remainder of the match. Most notably, BrokenBlade has been struggling to perform with Caps also not being in his best form. 

With G2s shortcomings, BLG showed up even more for this series with Bin being an absolute monster and outright gapping BrokenBlade, and Knight coming in clutch in most team fights. With their victory, BLG secured their spot at the next stage of the tournament and G2 will have to face GAM to advance further into MSI.
