Worlds 2025 Week 1: A first week of Worlds which has been everything but not boring, we had a lot of surprises, confirmations and revenges.
What happened to BLG?
A terrible Week 1 for the first Chinese seed who after the changes in the jungle, has always looked inconsistent and shaky.
Their situation was very clear already from the start, Beichuan was the starting jungler in the first game against 100T ( LCS #3 ), with him in the Jungle the squad just didn’t work at all.
Already from the second day against FNATIC ( LEC #2 ) BLG decided to swap junglers by putting our Italian pupil Shad0w in the starting lineup.
With Shad0w the music changed completely for BLG, the team was proactive, fast, convincing and thanks to that they managed to find a very clean win against FNATIC in the second playday.
Unluckily for them, all those confirmations disappeared in the series against G2, despite a good start the Chinese squad totally collapsed on itself.
It will be precisely a serious mistake made by Shad0w that gave the chemtech soul and victory of the match to G2.
Bilibili are now on a 1-2 score and they will have to play to not get knocked out of tournament against VKS ( LCS #2 ).
G2 make us a dream
Despite a tragic debut against TOP Esports ( LPL #2 ) managed to find to victories respectively against MKOI ( LEC #2 ) and BLG ( LPL #1 ).
Surely the hardest-pressed member of the line-up in these first games was the French rookie Skewmond, Europe’s rising star.
Unfortunately, the pressure to debut on an international stage, carrying the heaviest jersey in all of Europe, certainly influenced the performance of the young G2 jungler.
The MVP of these G2 is, until now certainly the toplaner BrokenBlade who proved to be the true captain of this formation.
Our first seed will face FyQuest ( LCS #1 ) on Wednesday at 10:00 AM in a Bo3 to qualify for the playoff phase.
Distaster for FNATIC
Little to say, very little about these FNATIC who have arrived at this world championship totally under the thumb of themselves.
Some terrifying performances from the whole team who, starting from the drafts, didn’t seem to be on the same page at all.
They leave this world championship after being defeated by: CFO ( LCP #1 ), BLG ( LPL #1 ) and MKOI ( LEC #2 )
As announced by Sheep Esports, the FNC team will certainly not remain the same, on the contrary, a total rebuild is expected which could start with the toplaner Oscarinin.
In addition to G2, MKOI will play against TSW (LCP #2) to remain in the tournament.
