Bilibili Gaming emerged victorious in a thrilling match against G2 Esports, securing their spot in the quarterfinals of the 2023 League of Legends World Championship. This victory also marked a significant milestone as it left the EMEA region without representation in the top eight for the first time in nine years.
In the highly anticipated showdown between G2 and BLG, the first game saw BLG dominate with Bin’s impressive performance in the top lane. Despite G2’s unique team composition and early game control in the second game, BLG managed to stabilize the match and erase G2’s lead. The tension reached its peak in the third game, but BLG steadily increased their advantage and outperformed G2 in crucial teamfights.
With this win, all four teams from the LPL region secured their place in the finals stage of the World Championship, making up half of the remaining teams in the competition. On the other hand, G2 Esports’ elimination marked a regretful record for the EMEA region, as no European team made it to the quarterfinals for the first time in nine years.
The World Championship will resume on November 2nd with the start of the quarterfinals, marking the beginning of the final stage of the competition.
