The Bot Lane Flipped

Peyz Leads Viper 13–3, but Viper Has Won the Last Two

Viper’s BLG beat Peyz’s T1 at MSI and again at the Esports World Cup, after years of losing to Peyz in the LCK.

13–3

Peyz’s series record vs Viper

0–2

Peyz vs Viper in 2026 (series)

The Take

When Peyz played for Gen.G and Viper for Hanwha Life, this barely felt like a rivalry: Gen.G won all of their series but one. Viper’s one win was the 2024 LCK summer final, 3–2. Then came this summer, with BLG winning 3–2 at MSI and taking the single game at the Esports World Cup. Tonight is the first best-of-five since that MSI series.

    BLG beat T1 at the Esports World Cup to win their group and go straight to the quarterfinals; afterwards Viper said neither side had been at its best given the short preparation.

    “Given our busy schedules and short preparation time, I didn't expect either T1 or us to be in peak condition.”
