Among them, the performance of the players is indispensable, especially the bot lane “Elk” who exploded this year. All statistics are comparable to the Korean aid “Ruler”. In addition, the coaching staff and logistics also play a key role.
On the eve of the playoffs, BLG announced that the well-known coach “Tabe” has joined as the head coach. He led RNG to win the MSI ticket twice in 2021 and 2022, and finally won the championship. Now he joined the team to help the team win MSI again Tickets, the ability to lead troops is amazing.

However, there is another person who has been ignored by the public, and that is the Taiwanese coach “Big Wei” who served as the head coach of JT last year.
He joined BLG as an assistant coach at the beginning of this year. Last year, JT he led did not perform well. Perhaps because of this, he was not reused by BLG’s top management in the early stage of the season, and he did not even get the chance to play in the BP.
It wasn’t until the eighth week that BLG transferred the head coach “Dian” due to poor record, and began to reuse BigWei and entrusted him with the important task of head coach.

BigWei led JT in PCS in the first two years. In 2021, the famous players Rest, Mission, and Lilv failed to touch the top two in spring and summer. In 2022, they paid a lot of money to supplement Kongyue and Uniboy. Left JT sadly at the end of last year.
And when he first joined BLG at the beginning of this year, he served as an assistant coach. It may be because of his poor performance in the first two years, so he couldn’t even stand up as a BP seat at the beginning. It can be seen that his influence within BLG is not great.

As of the seventh week, BLG ranked ninth with a record of 5W5L. The playoffs are in jeopardy. Maybe it is a performance problem, or something happened internally. In short, BLG replaced the original head coach Dian and the assistant coach in the eighth week. BigWei entrusted the important task of head coach.
At that time, the author chatted with some people in the industry. Some people thought that BigWei was just thrown into the blame, but they didn’t expect the results to improve by leaps and bounds. They defeated RNG, NIP, TT, TES, IG one after another, won five consecutive victories and consolidated their qualifications for the playoffs. 10W6L is fifth.
During the period, it can be seen that the BP is much more comfortable. I fully understand the player’s habits and give a good BP, so that the player can get relatively easy heroes.
deeply loved by players and fans, rather than the taste of SoloQ before the season.
Although Big Wei changed from head coach to assistant coach in the playoffs due to Tabe’s joining, he still relied on his trust with the BLG players to stand on the BP bench to help the team, and finally passed all the way, leading BLG to defeat EDG, and wrote the team It is the first time history has entered the finals.
BLG’s opponent in the final will be JDG. Coincidentally, JDG is the team that sent BLG to the defeat in this year’s playoffs. The LPL 2023 Spring Finals will be held at 5pm on 4/15.
