Upper bracket final: AL vs BLG, CN

Bilibili Gaming has been the League of Legends Pro League favorite throughout all of 2026. With the LCK out of the way, they won First Stand. From there, they were a genuine contender for the first ever golden road, without even being from Korea. Eventually, they fell to Hanwha Life Esports in the last match of the Mid-Season Invitational.

Solely due to that loss, they’re being underestimated. The fact remains that BLG has won both LPL splits in 2026, and was one single game away from doing the same at internationals.

Against them, Anyone’s Legend stands little chance. While they finished the Split 3 regular season in second place, there’s a gap between them and BLG. Not to mention that their previous playoffs were disappointing as well.

In this event, only the winner of the grand final qualifies for the World Championship. However, this match doesn’t change anything towards that end.

BLG is already qualified thanks to winning MSI. As for AL, they’re locked in second place in Championship Points, regardless of the outcome of this match. Anyone’s Legend will qualify for Worlds unless LGD Gaming or Invictus Gaming beats BLG.
