Bilibili Gaming won its first League of Legends world title on November 14, beating Gen.G 3–1 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. BLG dropped the opener, then won three straight games to give the LPL its first Summoner’s Cup since EDward Gaming’s 2021 title.
Gen.G won Game 1 behind Ruler’s deathless Corki, even after BLG secured Hextech Soul. BLG answered in Game 2 with Knight’s Cassiopeia and ON’s Camille support, then took match point behind Bin’s Jax and Knight’s Viktor. The mid laner switched to Twisted Fate for the clincher, while Xun denied Gen.G a chance to secure Dragon Soul and ON found openings on Neeko.
Knight earned Finals MVP. It was a first Worlds title for him, Bin, Xun and ON, and a second for Viper, who won with EDward Gaming in 2021. BLG’s route through the tournament included a Swiss stage sweep of Hanwha Life Esports, followed by knockout wins over Dplus KIA and three-time defending champion T1.
