Worlds Upset: 100T Exit, T1 Survive, BLG Stumble!

Look Sports Media – The League of Legends World Championship 2025 continues to deliver drama, with T1 narrowly defeating 100 Thieves in a 2-0 series, marking 100T’s exit from Tier 1 competition. Bilibili Gaming (BLG) also advanced, albeit in a less-than-convincing victory over Vivo Keyd Stars (VKS).

T1’s hard-fought victory over 100T was a bittersweet moment. While the reigning champions secured their place in the crucial 2-2 bracket, 100T’s spirited performance marked their final appearance in Tier 1 League of Legends, following the sale of their LCS franchise spot to Sentinels for the 2026 season.

In Game 1, 100T showcased their potential, with Niship "Dhokla" Doshi and Lim "Quid" Hyeon-seung delivering standout performances. Quid even managed a solo kill on the legendary Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok. However, T1’s superior teamfighting and Faker’s clutch Taliyah plays ultimately secured them the win. Game 2 saw 100T take an early lead, but T1’s scaling composition proved too strong, leading to their eventual victory. Despite the loss, 100T’s valiant effort earned them new fans as they bid farewell to Tier 1 competition.

BLG’s series against VKS was far from dominant. The LPL’s top seed struggled to find their form, making uncharacteristic mistakes. While Zhuo "Knight" Ding shone with his Ziggs and LeBlanc, other players on both teams struggled with consistency. Ultimately, Knight’s individual brilliance carried BLG to a 2-0 victory, but they will need to improve significantly to contend with tougher opponents in the next round.

The Worlds Round 5 draw sets up some exciting matchups:

• Top Esports vs Bilibili Gaming: A Chinese showdown with only one team advancing.
• CTBC Flying Oyster vs FlyQuest: A clash of styles between CFO’s aggression and FlyQuest’s strategic approach.
• T1 vs Movistar KOI: KOI aims to shock the world by eliminating the Korean giants.

The stakes are high as teams battle for a spot in the playoffs. Will T1 continue their championship defense? Can BLG find their form? And which teams will rise to the occasion and secure their place in League of Legends history?
