The LPL Final on the MSI stage
Bilibili Gaming and JD Gaming are two teams in the Chinese League (LPL). While BLG, as the season”s second-place team, initially fared a little worse and had to fight their way through the Lower Bracket, JDG, as the winner of the LPL, proved their mettle in the Upper Bracket.
That it should come to this renewed clash of the teams, as in the LPL season, surprised many. However, BLG”s victory over T1 in particular showed that the second seed from China deserved to reach the final. However, it was still not enough against JDG, who won the MSI with a score of 3-1.
