Viper made a successful debut at the Demacia Cup! BLG swept LNG 2-0! The top and jungle players went wild, and the mid laner performed excellently.

The Demacia Cup saw BLG's debut, with their starting lineup consisting of top laner bin, jungler xun, mid laner Yxl, and bottom lane Viper plus ON. Despite not fielding the full main roster and knight's regrettable absence, Viper's first game was highly anticipated. On the other side, LNG fielded top laner sheer, jungler croco, mid laner bulldog, and bottom duo 1XN with missing. After two intense games, BLG comfortably defeated LNG 2-0, securing their first win in the Demacia Cup!

In the first game, BLG picked Sion top, Xin Zhao jungle, Azir mid, and the bottom lane was Yuyanna plus Alistar; LNG chose Ahang top, Rumble jungle, Ziggs mid, and Aphelios with Rell in the bot lane. At 4 minutes, xun's Xin Zhao solo killed croco's Rumble in the jungle, giving BLG the first blood. Sheer’s Ahang then responded by taking down xun's Xin Zhao. At 9 minutes, both bot duos rotated to top for a 2v2 fight, where BLG’s bot lane killed 1XN's Aphelios. Later, xun's Xin Zhao dove the tower to kill missing's Rell. Early on, LNG secured one dragon while BLG took the Rift Herald, with both teams nearly even in gold.

At 19 minutes in the mid game, BLG destroyed the first mid lane outer turret. At 22 minutes, BLG proactively contested the Rift Herald, trading one for one after a skirmish. At 27 minutes, LNG attempted to steal Baron Nashor, but BLG arrived, leading to a chaotic fight where BLG split the battlefield and came out with a 3-for-1 exchange, securing the first Baron. At 29 minutes, carrying the Baron buff, BLG pushed through the bot lane. Bin's Sion flashed and ults to collide with 1XN's Aphelios. BLG then killed four LNG members at the high ground and won the first game. The highest damage dealer in the first game was bulldog’s Ziggs, while bin’s Sion dealt the most damage for BLG.

In the second game, LNG picked Quasanti top, Wukong jungle, Syndra mid, and Ezreal with Bard bot; BLG chose Anivia top, Troll jungle, Taliyah mid, and Miss Fortune with Rell bot. At 11 minutes, LNG’s three players chased down and killed ON’s Rell in the jungle, then dove top to kill Viper’s Miss Fortune and pushed down the first top outer turret. Early on, BLG secured two dragons, LNG took the Rift Herald, and both teams remained close in gold.

In the mid game, both teams fought for the Rift Herald. Sheer’s Quasanti killed Viper’s Miss Fortune, but xun’s Troll secured the Herald. BLG’s top, mid, and jungle then fought LNG’s team and achieved a 5-for-2 team wipe. At 27 minutes, they contested the dragon, with Yxl’s Taliyah flanking for a pincer attack. BLG initiated and wiped LNG, securing the first dragon and the electric dragon soul. In the late game at 30 minutes, bin’s Anivia dove in to start a fight and survived, leading BLG to another 5-for-0 team wipe and ultimately winning the match.
