BLG had disappointing practice results with T1's “defeated champion”.
With a tournament that brings together many strong representatives from regions like Worlds 2024, practice matches are an extremely important part of the teams' preparation process. Although good practice results do not guarantee victory, it still shows that a team is in good shape and in high form. However, in the case of BLG, extremely unhappy news about this team was revealed right before the 2024 World Championship Final match with T1.
Accordingly, the commentators of the LPL region revealed on the livestream that BLG had extremely disappointing scrim results against Gen.G. The reason comes from BLG not finding a way to prevent Kindred in Canyon's hands from controlling the objective, the map and ultimately receiving many defeats. Obviously, in the context of Gen.G's recent defeat against T1, the above information left the LPL audience stunned. It caused the LPL audience's confidence in BLG to defeat T1 to decrease quite a bit.
“Black magic” is also on T1's side, against GBV
Not stopping at the scrim results, one of the commentators in the LPL region – Quan Trach Nguyen, commented that BLG will defeat T1 with a score of 3-2. It is important to know that in the LPL region, commentator Quan is famous for the nickname “completely wrong guess” when this guy's predictions are often contrary to the actual results. If VCS audiences are familiar with the “black magic” of “magician” Hoang Luan or “burial magician” Mai Dora, then Quan Trach Nguyen also brings the same thing to LPL viewers.
So as soon as Quan Trach Nguyen's prediction was made, many LPL viewers shook their heads in dismay. Many people think that BLG will admit defeat again because even “black magic” will be on T1's side in the upcoming Finals. Sohu even posted a “pessimistic” article about commentator Quan Trach Nguyen's prediction that all hope for the LPL region was completely over.
To be fair, it is quite understandable for the commentator of the Quan family to make predictions in favor of GBV. He personally knows how LPL went downhill last season in terms of viewership, so this commentator wants BLG to win the championship to breathe new life into this area next season. However, for many viewers, Quan Trach Nguyen's history of “guessing completely wrong” is too great and the good intention mentioned above has become something against GBV.
Of course, when the 2024 World Championship Final has not yet taken place, all predictions are for reference only. In case commentator Quan Trach Nguyen predicts wrongly and T1 wins Worlds 2024, it will likely make this guy regretful as well as receive a lot of “criticism” from the LPL audience.
