On July 4th, Bilibili Gaming defeated Movistar KOI with a score of 3:1 in the upper bracket match of the Mid-Season Invitational 2025. The European team put up a fight by winning the second map, but BLG once again showcased their class and individual skill, securing a spot in the next round where they will face the winner of the T1/ CFO matchup.

The first map started evenly, with Movistar KOI having a good draft and holding their ground during the laning phase. However, as the mid-game approached, BLG set the pace and with superior macro play, won the first map. On the second map, MKOI responded. The teams constantly swapped leadership, but in the decisive team fight, Jojopyun on Azir led the Europeans ahead and tied the score.

The next map was entirely under Bilibili Gaming's control. Elk on Caitlyn confidently won the lane, and attempts by Alvaro to turn the game with a successful initiation couldn't change the outcome. On the fourth map, BLG solidified their advantage. Despite several attempts by MKOI to get back into the game, the Chinese team confidently secured the series victory.

Bilibili Gaming's ADC, Elk, once again confirmed his star status. In each of the winning maps, he was a key factor in the victory—from precise laning to decisive positioning in team fights. His Caitlyn on the third map was a true nightmare for Movistar KOI.
