BLG emerged victorious over T1 with a 3-2 score, securing a spot in the winner’s bracket. Today, BLG displayed a diverse range of strategies and picks, ultimately clinching a hard-earned win after a closely contested series against T1.
Following the match, Park ‘Viper’ Do-hyeon joined the LCK analysis desk. Reflecting on his connection to his hometown, he shared, “Competing in my hometown heightened my focus and confidence. Being in the place where I grew up, I was determined to secure a victory no matter what.”
When asked about his experience at BLG, he responded, “I have everything I need here, and my entire focus is on the game.” Regarding the decision to pick Vel’Koz, he elaborated, “With Senna being a strong pick that we frequently used in the playoffs, I sought a counter strategy and found it to be effective. Generally, non-ADC picks work well against slow-paced champions. As long as we were confident in our ability to close out the game, it was a solid choice.”
In response to inquiries about potential future picks amidst the positive reception of non-ADC choices, he expressed confidence, stating, “We have even more strategies prepared beyond what many are already considering.” When asked about local Daejeon cuisine he would recommend to his teammates, he humorously shared, “I suggested kalguksu (knife-cut noodles), but they had already tried it.”
Concluding the interview, ‘Viper’ expressed his immediate goal of securing a win in the winner’s bracket and facing Hanwha Life Esports. He emphasized his desire to win that match and be the first to advance to the finals.
