BLG defeated T1 3-2 to advance to the winner's bracket. Today, BLG showcased a variety of compositions and picks, ultimately securing a hard-fought victory after a neck-and-neck series against T1.

After the match, Park 'Viper' Do-hyeon joined the LCK analysis desk. Expressing his affection for his hometown, he said, "Playing in my hometown made me more focused, but it also gave me confidence. Since this is where I was born and raised, I was determined to win no matter what."

When asked about life at BLG, he replied, "I have everything I need, and I'm fully focused on the game." Regarding the choice of Vel'Koz, he explained, "I think Senna is strong and we used her a lot in the playoffs, so I looked for a counter and found that it worked quite well. Generally, non-ADC picks are good against slow-tempo champions. I felt that as long as we were confident in our ability to close out the game, it was a good choice."

When asked if there are other champions in store given the current positive reception of non-ADC picks, he expressed confidence, saying, "Beyond the champions many people are already thinking of, we have even more prepared." To a lighthearted question about what local Daejeon food he would recommend to his teammates, he replied, "I suggested kalguksu (knife-cut noodles), but they had already tried it."

Finally, 'Viper' concluded the interview by saying, "My immediate goal is to win in the winner's bracket and meet Hanwha Life Esports. I want to win that match and be the first to reach the finals."
