Keria Reveals the Main Reasons Behind BLG’s Shocking Defeat Against T1
For those who have been following the competitive matches leading up to the encounter between T1 and BLG, the outcome was quite surprising as they witnessed a total annihilation in the Rounds 2 MSI 2025 match on July 6th (Vietnam time). Not only did BLG face overwhelming defeat in all three games, but prior to the match, many fans were still hopeful that BLG could potentially take down T1, considering that MSI was regarded as the “stronghold” of the LPL teams, and T1 had yet to secure a win against BLG in this tournament.
Keria pointed out that the T1 lineup didn’t have an easy time and faced significant challenges, especially compared to their previous match against CFO. However, in the post-match analysis, Keria attributed BLG’s loss primarily to their “self-doubt” regarding their personnel. Specifically, T1’s support player noted, “The biggest difference was that Ho Yuan was not present. He had a very strong synergy with ON. But this year, I feel that synergy is not as strong anymore. We must focus on finding our composition to ensure a solid strategy.”
In reality, Beichuan was unable to match Oner’s performance throughout the three games. During intense skirmishes, he consistently appeared less confident and less reliable compared to Oner in controlling objectives. In the current meta, whether a team performs well or not greatly depends on the performance of their jungler.
Upcoming Challenges for T1 Will Be Different
After facing BLG, T1 is now preparing for a significant challenge against Gen.G—the only team that remains undefeated at MSI 2025. Unlike BLG, Gen.G has shown a strong performance across all stages. However, T1 has a silver lining, as Gen.G also experienced difficulties in their recent match against Anyone’s Legends.
The match against Gen.G will not be an easy task. However, with T1 currently in good spirits, if they can replicate their recent performance in the upcoming match against this formidable opponent, it may bring T1 closer to clinching the championship title at Vancouver this year.
