Bilibili Gaming End South Korea's Four-Year Worlds Reign with 3-1 Win Over Gen.G

The road to the summit

Their playoff path was a Korean‑heavy gauntlet: a 2‑0 sweep of Hanwha Life Esports, a 3‑0 demolition of Dplus KIA, a 3‑1 triumph over T1, and finally the 3‑1 showdown with Gen. G.

The four‑game showdown

Game 1 – Korean fireworks Gen. Chovy’s Syndra roamed the map with surgical precision, dismantling BLG’s early defenses and delivering a dominant opening that suggested a clean sweep.

Game 2 – The marathon The tide turned in a 53‑minute marathon, the longest match of Worlds 2026. BLG weathered multiple Baron Nashors and Elder Dragons, trading blows until Park “Viper” Do‑hyeon’s Ziggs erupted for over 96,000 damage – likely a new Worlds high. The Chinese side finally seized the win, leveling the series.

Game 3 – Double‑mage surprise BLG switched gears, fielding a double‑mage composition with Viktor mid and Taliyah as AD Carry. The unexpected pick caught Gen. G off‑guard, allowing Chen “Bin” Ze‑Bin to dominate on Jax, landing crucial Counter Strikes that tilted the map in BLG’s favor.

Game 4 – A nail‑biter to the finish The final game was a tense back‑and‑forth. Chovy fought valiantly on Akali, while Park “Ruler” Jae‑hyuk delivered a strong performance for Gen. G. Knight’s consistent pressure earned him the Finals MVP award and cemented his place as the first mainland Chinese mid‑laner to hoist the Summoner’s Cup.

Aftermath and legacy

BLG’s 3‑1 victory ends a four‑year Korean dominance stretch and brings the LPL its first championship since EDward Gaming’s 2021 triumph. The win also marks Viper’s second World title with a different organization, joining Cho “BeryL” Geon‑hee as the only player to achieve that feat outside T1. For Bin, the triumph is personal redemption after falling short in the 2020 final with Suning.

With the trophy lifted, BLG now holds China’s fourth World title, joining Invictus Gaming (2018), FunPlus Phoenix (2019) and EDward Gaming (2021). The organization’s historic run—defeating every LCK representative en route—will be remembered as one of the most dominant playoff campaigns in recent memory.
