Bilibili Gaming have beaten T1 3–1 in the Worlds 2026 semifinals, setting up a final against Gen.G in Brooklyn on November 14. Riot’s completed knockout bracket confirms the LPL–LCK pairing after Gen.G’s 3–0 win over Invictus Gaming in the other semifinal.

T1’s run ends a round after their 3–1 quarterfinal victory over Karmine Corp. BLG, who swept Dplus KIA 3–0 in the last eight, have now eliminated two LCK teams in consecutive best-of-five series.

BLG drop one game on the way through knockouts

The two finalists arrive with different knockout records. BLG have won six games and lost one across their quarterfinal and semifinal; Gen.G have won six without defeat, sweeping both LYON and IG.

BLG’s semifinal win is their second completed knockout series, not the title decider. The full knockout overview collects all six completed series, while our Gen.G–IG report follows the other finalist’s route.
