BLG end T1’s three-year Worlds reign 3-1 and set up a Gen.G final in Brooklyn

Bilibili Gaming knocked out three-time reigning champions T1 in the Worlds 2026 semifinals and avenged their 2024 final defeat. The result guarantees a new champion when BLG meet Gen.G at Barclays Center.

Bilibili Gaming are through to the Worlds 2026 grand final after ending T1’s three-year reign. The semifinal was played on November 8 at 16:00 CT, when it was already November 9 in Korea. The win avenges BLG’s defeat to T1 in the 2024 final. It also ends T1’s run of four straight Worlds finals.

The defeat carries historic weight. T1 had never lost a best-of-five knockout series to an LPL team since their first Worlds in 2013, Sports Kyunghyang reported. That 13-year record is now over.

Faker’s Syndra won T1 one game in the series. BLG still controlled the matchup where it counted. Viper and ON outplayed T1’s bottom lane across the four games.

Faker was frank after the series. He said BLG had prepared better than T1 and the games did not go the way his team expected. He added that he was not satisfied with his own year. He hoped to come back stronger and play better for the fans.

The loss breaks a long pattern for T1. Worlds 2026 was their 11th appearance at the tournament. They have reached at least the semifinals in every one of them. This year they got through the Swiss Stage by beating LOS, CFO and Movistar KOI. In the quarterfinals they beat Karmine Corp 3-1 on November 6.
