BLG defeated T1 at the EWC to secure first place in their group and advance to the quarterfinals.

After the match, Park 'Viper' Do-hyeon said, "Given our busy schedules and short preparation time, I didn't expect either T1 or us to be in peak condition." He added with relief, "Still, I'm glad that today's match went well according to our preparations."

When asked about the rare single-game format against T1 in an international tournament, he explained, "Because it was a single-game format and not a Fearless Draft, we approached the match with the mindset of drafting the best composition we were most confident in."

Regarding his feelings on the MSI runner-up finish, 'Viper' said, "It was a truly disappointing loss." However, he offered a positive perspective: "On the other hand, we've been running non-stop since last December, so I think it wasn't a bad thing to have a moment to look back, shake off the disappointment, and find the motivation to keep going."

He maintained his firm conviction regarding his previous comment about it being a "time to prove myself." He stated, "Personally, I believe the job of a pro gamer is a position where you must endlessly prove yourself until the moment you retire," showing his determination not to settle at any moment.

By securing first place in the group with the win over T1 and advancing directly to the quarterfinals, the team gained a significant advantage in managing their condition. 'Viper' noted, "If we had lost today, we would have had to play again this afternoon, which would have made condition management very difficult. Winning has given us a bit of breathing room."

Commenting on the upset in another group where LION, a breakout star of MSI, was eliminated after a crushing defeat to Brazil's second seed, he analyzed, "I was surprised too. But international tournaments are always full of variables, and I think the flow of the game and the momentum on the day played a big role."

He expressed anticipation about potentially meeting LCK's Hanwha Life Esports again in the later stages of the tournament. 'Viper' said, "It would be really fun if we met again. Since we know each other so well and there hasn't been a major meta shift, I think it would be another intense full set battle if we were to face off again."
