Bilibili Gaming wins LoL Worlds 2026 after eliminating all of Korea

After several close calls, Bilibili Gaming wins LoL Worlds 2026 for the first time in the organisation’s history. BLG almost faced elimination in the Swiss stage. Then, they made it through the entire LCK gauntlet. Ultimately, they beat Gen.G in the LoL Worlds final to become the 2026 League of Legends World Champion.

BLG beat Gen.G in a very tense, record-breaking four-game series. The first map started under Bilibili Gaming’s control, until they got the Dragon soul and proceeded to not win fights anymore. From that point on, Gen.G grew further and further ahead, and beat BLG for game 1.
Bilibili Gaming even claimed an Elder Dragon on top of their soul. The LPL representative still ended up losing after that. This was the first time out of 77 international games that a team managed to lose after getting both Elder and soul.
The second map looked like it was going to play out the same way. After a rocky laning phase where Park “Ruler” Jae-hyuk fully outplayed the BLG botlane, Bilibili Gaming was off to another early lead. Park “Viper” Do-hyeon terrorized Gen.G as Ziggs, and they pushed their lead, until GEN started winning fights again.
Afterwards, the game had an intense back-and-forth. Soul for BLG, Elder for Gen.G, no decisive teamfight victory. Eventually, Bilibili Gaming won at minute 53 with the fourth Baron. This was the first time a player won a Worlds final game after going 0/8.
The last two maps were quieter. BLG steadily got and increased their lead. Meanwhile, Gen.G never stopped fighting, but it didn’t end up being enough.
Off the back of a 3-1 victory against Gen.G, Bilibili Gaming wins LoL Worlds 2026. BLG got their victory after playing two games with a mage in the bot lane. In the end, they finished 2026 the way they started it: playing their own style and winning with it.
BLG’s record-breaking World Championship
Bilibili Gaming already made history by reaching the grand final in the first place. In the semifinal, they took down T1, ending their undefeated 13-series streak against the LPL in Worlds playoffs.
In the final, they secured several more records. Most important of all, BLG won Worlds by eliminating all four LCK teams back-to-back. This is the first time a team has ever eliminated all four representatives of another region. At the same time, this means that BLG got their revenge against four LCK teams that had previously eliminated them.
| Team | Latest international result against BLG | Outcome at LoL Worlds 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Hanwha Life Esports | HLE 3-2 BLG in the grand final of MSI 2026 | BLG 2-0 HLE in Swiss Stage round 5 |
| Dplus KIA | DK 2-1 BLG in the quarterfinal of EWC 2026 | BLG 3-0 DK in the quarterfinal |
| T1 | (Second latest) T1 3-0 BLG at MSI 2025 T1 3-2 BLG in the grand final of Worlds 2024 | BLG 3-1 T1 in the semifinal |
| Gen.G | Gen.G 3-1 BLG in the grand final of MSI 2024 | BLG 3-1 Gen.G in the grand final |
Bilibili Gaming is now also the first team to attend the grand finals of all three internationals of the year. While this has only been possible since the introduction of First Stand in 2025, that record might remain theirs alone for a while. The team only lost three Bo5s in 2026, and they were a single game away from winning all three internationals.
