BLG defeated VKS 2-0 and advanced to the next round! Bin secured a sneaky win, and knight’s LeBlanc turned the tide.

During the S15 World Championship Swiss round BO3 between BLG and VKS, after battling through two games, BLG secured a 2-0 victory over VKS, advancing to the next stage.

In the first game, BLG had Jax top, Troll jungle, Ziggs mid, and Kai'Sa with Neeko bot; VKS played Aphelios top, Qiyana jungle, Azir mid, and Varus with Bard bot. Early on, BLG’s top and AD swapped lanes, with ELK’s Kai'Sa soloing top against Aphelios, while Bin’s Jax and ON’s Neeko went bot. At 3 minutes, shadow’s Troll attempted a tower dive on Aphelios but failed, resulting in both the jungler and AD being killed. Aphelios secured first blood and a double kill. At 6 minutes, VKS’s Qiyana ganked bot but overextended; BLG capitalized on the turret to trade 1 for 2. Both sides exchanged plays early, with BLG taking the first tower on top lane, securing one dragon and the Rift Herald, leading by 1K gold.

At 21 minutes in mid-game, BLG took down the Rift Herald. VKS initiated a team fight and heavily damaged BLG, but Azir’s mistake led to his quick death, allowing BLG to push and destroy VKS’s mid tower. At 25 minutes, BLG started Baron; VKS’s Qiyana’s attempt to steal failed and resulted in her death, leading to a 1-for-5 team wipe in favor of BLG. At 26 minutes, shadow's Troll solo killed Qiyana in the jungle. By 29 minutes, BLG took a dragon uncontested. Finally, at 29 minutes, BLG pushed from the jungle to the enemy base, killing four VKS members and securing the first game victory. Knight’s Ziggs earned the MVP.

In the second game, VKS picked Quasanti top, Wukong jungle, Taliyah mid, and Sivir with Bard bot; BLG chose Rumble top, Xin Zhao jungle, LeBlanc mid, and Corki with Poppy bot. During the laning phase at 6 minutes, both teams fought over the dragon. BLG’s five-man support arrived first, and VKS over-pursued, resulting in a 1-for-2 exchange with Knight’s LeBlanc claiming first blood. At 15 minutes, a bot lane skirmish erupted with Bin’s Rumble joining; BLG fought 5v4, killing four VKS players, and Knight started 5-0. At 16 minutes, Knight’s LeBlanc solo killed VKS’s jungler Wukong. Early on, BLG took a dragon and Rift Herald, leading by 2K gold.

At 18 minutes mid-game, VKS grouped to kill Knight’s LeBlanc top, but BLG’s teammates counterattacked, killing Bard first before chasing, though VKS managed to kill three BLG players. At 23 minutes, BLG initiated Baron, with VKS arriving late, allowing BLG to secure it smoothly. Both teams then farmed until a chaotic fight at the Baron pit at 32 minutes. VKS’s chasing caused disarray, and BLG wiped them out 3-for-5, claiming the first Baron. At 39 minutes, Knight’s LeBlanc found an opportunity to assassinate VKS’s Sivir, helping BLG take the second Baron. At 42 minutes, VKS attempted a buy-in ambush in the jungle, killing BLG’s mid and support, then pushed mid lane, but Bin’s Rumble teleported to the base and secured a sneaky win.
