Bilibili Gaming ended T1’s bid for a fourth straight Worlds title on November 8, beating the defending champion 3–1 in the semifinal in Allen, Texas. BLG will face Gen.G in the final.
BLG won the opener before T1 tied the series. Knight played Taliyah and Viper played Ezreal in the third game, which BLG won to move back in front. The LPL side then closed out the series in game four, finishing it with a 21–9 kill score.
The win sends BLG back to the Worlds final for the first time since its five-game loss to T1 in 2024. It now meets a Gen.G team that swept Invictus Gaming in the other semifinal. The final is scheduled for November 14 at 2 p.m. ET at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
