Bilibili Gaming are the League of Legends world champions. BLG beat Gen.G 3-1 in the Worlds 2026 final at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Saturday, November 14, winning three straight games after dropping the first. It is the organization’s first world title, two years after it lost the 2024 final to T1, and the first Worlds win for China’s LPL since Edward Gaming in 2021.

BLG lost game 1, then took three in a row from Gen.G

Gen.G took the opener 19 kills to 4. BLG had Herald and the first three drakes, but Gen.G won the Elder fight that decided it.

Game 2 ran 53 minutes, the longest game of the tournament, and BLG came out of it 19-14 to level the series. BLG won game 3 20-8, with Bin’s Jax landing the stuns that ended it, and closed out the title in game 4, 21-11, after jungler Xun stole Baron ahead of the final fight.

BLG beat all four Korean teams on the way to the trophy

Every LCK team at Worlds 2026 went out to BLG. The LPL side beat Hanwha Life Esports 2-0 in the Swiss stage, swept Dplus KIA 3-0 in the quarterfinals, knocked out T1 3-1 in the semifinals, and then beat Gen.G in the final.

It was not a clean run from the start. BLG lost Swiss stage series to Movistar KOI and Top Esports before finding its form in the knockouts.

Knight takes Finals MVP, but many fans wanted support On

Mid laner Zhuo “Knight” Ding was announced as Finals MVP. His four games went Locke (2/2/1), Cassiopeia (4/1/12), Viktor (5/2/11) and Twisted Fate (2/1/17).

The pick split the community. Almost every top reply in the r/leagueoflegends announcement thread argues that support Luo “On” Wenjun had the bigger impact on the series, with jungler Xun the next most common answer.

Viper wins a second world title, five years after his first with EDG

Bot laner Park “Viper” Do-hyeon won Worlds 2021 with Edward Gaming, the last LPL team to lift the trophy before BLG. For top laner Chen “Bin” Zebin, this was a third Worlds final after losses with Suning in 2020 and with BLG in 2024, and the first one he has won.

BLG’s championship roster: Bin (top), Xun (jungle), Knight (mid), Viper (bot) and On (support), coached by Daeny.
