The ultimate Galaxy Battleship BLG has also crashed! They were swept by the underdog team OMG! Still in the process of syncing?

Since the LPL transfer window, which team can really claim the name of the genuine Galaxy Battleship? JDG only upgraded their coaching staff with Tabe, added Gala to the bot lane, and brought in the LCP duo HongQ and Junjia to jungle and mid, which is an enhancement but still more of a small battleship. WBG strengthened by adding Elk, with jungler Jiejie comparable to Tian, and a promising rookie Zika on top lane, making WBG also a minor battleship. However, the ultimate Galaxy Battleship must be BLG, a team that has dominated the LPL in recent years as a top-tier powerhouse, with each player highly valued. This year, they upgraded their bot lane from Elk to Viper, a significant leap. With Bin on top, Xun in jungle, Knight mid, Viper bot, and On as support, plus coach Dani, what else could this be if not a battleship?

No one expected this battleship to keep stumbling in the Demacia Cup. Both WBG and JDG fell, and the ultimate BLG also crashed! BLG sent their full top-jungle-bottom lineup, with a young academy mid laner. Normally, this should be fine — as long as the mid laner farms well and avoids mistakes, a young player can hold their own against top players. However, in the match against OMG, BLG was swept, a major upset. Keep in mind, OMG used to be a strong team long ago, but now they are at best an underdog squad, led by Korean jungle and support imports, with the rest being unknown players. Yet this team completely toppled BLG!

So where did things go wrong? While the young mid laner might have had some issues, that’s definitely not the whole story. The Demacia Cup is always for testing new lineups! Xun has been away from the team for a year, so his playstyle and synergy with old teammates won’t instantly click. Viper, despite his good Chinese, still needs time to gel with new teammates in terms of playstyle and coordination. In the end, it all comes down to time — they really need a long period to build synergy!

It’s worth noting that after this BO3, both MVP awards went to OMG’s mid laner Haichao, which might highlight the mid lane gap. If Knight had played, BLG probably would have dominated easily! But the Demacia Cup is meant for lineup trials, so let’s look forward to BLG’s full-strength performance in upcoming LPL events — their dominance will surely be at full throttle!
