Bilibili Gaming beat Gen.G in Brooklyn to win the 2026 League of Legends World Championship, the LPL’s first world title since 2021. Added to their First Stand trophy, the result gives a Chinese side a double that no team had managed since 2016, just as Riot takes the 2027 season opener to China.
Bilibili Gaming are world champions. The LPL side needed four games to beat Gen.G in New York and win the club’s first Worlds title. The result ends a run of four straight LCK world titles. It also gives the LPL its first world crown since EDward Gaming won in 2021.
BLG took the hardest possible route. They knocked out all four LCK teams at the event: Hanwha Life Esports, Dplus KIA, T1 and Gen.G. Every Korean side that travelled to the tournament went home after facing them.
The final turned early.
