Match recap: WBG vs BLG

After the semi-final match of LoL Worlds 2024 between WBG and BLG, come back here for specific game-by-game breakdowns and an overall summary.

Head-to-head

The teams from WBG and BLG are quite familiar with each other since they both compete in the same geographical area. Generally speaking, the overall win-loss record between them tends to favor BLG.

2024 saw BLG triumphing in two League of Legends Pro League (LPL) splits. In the summer season, they encountered WBG on three separate occasions and emerged victorious each time: during the Rumble Stage, the upper-bracket semifinal, and the LPL Summer 2024 championship final. The playoff matches ended in a sweeping 3-0 victory for BLG.

In the spring of 2024, BLG and WBG engaged in a single encounter, which took place during the group phase. BLG clinched victory in that match with a score of 2:0, and subsequently went on to win the entire tournament. Weibo Gaming placed fifth or sixth overall.

In 2023, the results between BLG and WBG were quite alike. Previously, during group stages of regional competitions, BLG emerged victorious against WBG. Interestingly, both teams faced each other again in the Spring 2023 playoff brackets, with BLG once more securing the win.

In terms of global League of Legends esports, Weibo Gaming fell short in qualifying for the Mid-Season Invitational 2024. On the other hand, BLG advanced to the grand final, only to be defeated by Gen.G. However, here’s a fascinating twist: Weibo Gaming knocked out BLG during the semi-finals of the League of Legends Worlds 2023 knockout stage.
