MSI 2025’s lower bracket’s second round will see BLG vs FlyQuest, and while BLG seemingly has an advantage, the looming question is whether FlyQuest has any upset potential or if it’ll face elimination.

Bilibili Gaming came into MSI 2025 as one of the favorites to win the whole event, alongside teams like AL, Gen.G, and T1. However, a match between T1 and BLG ended in a surprisingly devastating loss for BLG, sending it to the lower bracket. Now the team will play FlyQuest, with the loser being eliminated from the tournament.
Betting pick: Despite BLG’s recent fumble against T1, the team may still be the one for bettors to side with against FlyQuest.
Despite Noth America’s mixed reputation as a competitive region in pro League of Legends, FlyQuest has managed to impress many with its performance throughout the tournament. While the team still shows signs of the inconsistencies it’s known for, and its lack of relative international experience is apparent, a 3-0 match result against G2 Esports turned many heads.
FlyQuest’s biggest issue is its lack of counter-picks in its drafting, though the team’s players have the mechanical skills expected from any top-tier team. In particular, Inspired and Massu stand out as the two most consistent players. Inspired has excellent ganks and map control abilities that give his team the upper hand, while Massu has high carry potential. Support player Busio has also been a standout at MSI 2025, while Bwipo and Quad’s performances have conversely left leave much to be desired at times, and their lack of being on the same page may give FlyQuest issues against BLG.
BLG has seen its own ups and downs, and the team has been in a slump recently. While it came into the tournament as a favorite to win the entire thing, its recent match against T1 gave the opposite impression. Beichuan and ON’s performance in the match was especially poor, with both players constantly being caught off guard and dying, giving more gold to the enemy team. ON was previously playing well, but his initiations weren’t being followed up on and he struggled to adjust.
Fortunately, Bin and knight are still showing up in every match despite strong opposition, and Elk continues to get valuable kills that secure a gold advantage for him. Without the entire team being on the same page, a problem seemingly similar to FlyQuest’s, BLG will likely struggle to reach the grand final in this tournament as it did at last year’s Worlds.

| Bwipo – Top | Bin – Top |

Odds via GG.BET, 01:55 am ET July 8, 2025.
BLG and FlyQuest have both seen their ups and downs, but BLG’s better relative international performance can’t be ignored. With the team having better knowledge of how to counter its opponents drafts and its more reliable macro plays, it may be the team to walk away as the victor here. However, FlyQuest’s pure mechanical skills suggest the game may go to the fifth map, with the final score being closer than some may expect.
Our BLG vs FlyQuest prediction: BLG as the match winner 3-2 at 1.3 odds at GG.BET.
