Preface: The S15 season matches have all concluded, and it is believed that the vast majority of players have been paying attention to the recent offseason. The Demacia Cup competition has become a hot topic among many players. In this tournament, several top teams from the LPL region faced serious issues. The most watched teams, WBG and BLG, surprisingly became the first two eliminated. Before the group stage ended and before the highly anticipated Christmas showdown began, these two teams were already confirmed out of the later rounds. Especially BLG, whose official account went silent and stopped releasing short videos, leading netizens to joke "Knight! Team in danger! Return immediately."

Knight! Team in danger! Return immediately!

Most players are quite familiar with BLG, a veteran powerhouse in the LPL region. Over recent years, their overall popularity and hype have been very high. Almost every transfer window, they acquire outstanding players to build a super luxurious roster. This season was no exception, as they directly brought in the top AD carry Viper from the LCK region. It was expected that their performance in this Demacia Cup would be stable, even without their mid laner Knight playing, they could still achieve good results. However, the reality was completely opposite. After losing multiple consecutive matches, BLG was confirmed eliminated early and out of the subsequent competition.

Honestly, this roster’s first match was quite exciting for fans. Against LNG, everyone played steadily, almost like a well-coordinated team with years of synergy. But in the following matches, problems kept arising one after another. The rookie mid laner became a weak point, being pressured heavily regardless of the opponent. He truly felt the LPL pressure in this Demacia Cup. In the match against JDG, BLG played very chaotically. The first game was fairly even, lasting nearly 40 minutes before ending. JDG’s team fights were more stable, and AD Gala’s damage was higher. Gala even solo killed BLG’s AD carry Viper in that game.

The second game was even more disappointing and hard for fans to accept. BLG gained some early advantage but completely failed to capitalize in the mid-game. After several skirmishes, Viper was targeted again. The mid lane Galio also made many mistakes, especially during the push on the bottom tower. They could have waited to recall and heal before pushing, but instead, they forced the tower down, resulting in a team wipe by the revived JDG players. After losing this match, BLG was officially out of the Demacia Cup knockout stage, ending their journey early.

Afterwards, many netizens joked, "Hand! Team in danger! Return immediately." BLG’s official account refused to release any more fun videos and announced cancellation of today’s tasks, urging everyone to review carefully. Indeed, such a strong lineup performing this poorly in the Demacia Cup was hard for fans to accept, likely related to the secondary team coach and the absence of an excellent mid laner. BLG’s draft picks were problematic, repeatedly selecting the champion Yuumi. Many netizens even joked, "Stop reviewing and summarizing; what’s there to review with the secondary team’s coach? Just eat, drink, and film some fun videos to entertain everyone. Just pretend BLG didn’t participate in the Demacia Cup at all."

Goodbye thoughts

No one expected that the two biggest focus teams in the LPL region this new season would be eliminated early in the Demacia Cup. After consecutive losses, WBG and BLG were confirmed out of the later rounds. This Christmas showdown turned into a battle to avoid last place, with the losing team becoming the bottom team of this Demacia Cup. Has the LPL truly come to an end? Every year is supposed to be the most hopeful year, yet every year ends in collapse, feeling completely opposite to the T1 team.
