Bilibili Gaming has punched its ticket to the LPL 2026 Split 3 upper bracket final, extending a streak that no other team in the league can match. Five consecutive finals appearances is the kind of consistency that separates dynasties from flashes in the pan.
The team advanced on September 7 with a 3-1 victory over Team WE. BLG has turned showing up to LPL finals into something closer to a habit than an achievement.
The numbers behind the dominance
BLG’s Split 3 regular season tells the story before the playoffs even began. The team finished Group Ascend with a 12-2 record.
BLG claimed the Split 1 championship with a 3-1 victory over JDG, then followed it up by sweeping Top Esports 3-0 in the Split 2 final. Two titles already in the bag for 2026, with a clear path to a third.
Mid laner Knight earned regular season MVP honors for Split 3, adding to a collection of Finals MVP awards. BLG swept the All-Pro selections during the season, meaning the league’s best player at virtually every position wore the same jersey.
A roster built for sustained success
The foundation of BLG’s run reads like an all-star team that actually learned to play together. Top laner Bin brings lane dominance and teamfight presence. Jungler Xun provides the connective tissue between lanes. Knight, the MVP, controls the mid lane. ADC Viper delivers damage when it matters most, and support ON rounds out a lineup with no obvious weak link.
Behind the scenes, coach Daeny has been credited with shaping BLG’s strategic identity.
The organization has been part of the LPL since the league’s founding in 2017. For years, BLG existed in the middle of the pack, a franchise with potential but without the results to match. The current iteration of the team has rewritten that narrative entirely.
What the streak means for Worlds 2026
The LPL’s 2026 season operates across three splits, and Split 3 carries particular weight for Worlds qualification. Championship points accumulated throughout the year determine which teams represent China at the game’s biggest international tournament.
With two split titles already secured and a deep playoff run in Split 3, BLG’s path to Worlds 2026 is about as clear as it gets.
Five consecutive finals. Two championships. A regular season MVP. A clean sweep of All-Pro honors.
