Their first defeat proved fatal. Although Dplus KIA reached the quarterfinals early by going undefeated at 3-0 in the Swiss Stage, BLG proved far stronger than expected.
Dplus KIA was eliminated after suffering a 0-3 defeat against BLG in the quarterfinals of the 2026 LoL World Championship on Nov. 6 KST at the Credit Union of Texas Event Center in Allen, Texas. BLG outclassed Dplus KIA across all three games to cruise to a comfortable victory.
Bad news mounted for Dplus KIA right from the start of Game 3. Before the laning phase even began, Heo "ShowMaker" Su's Viktor fell victim to BLG's ambush. An early top lane dive by Choi "Lucid" Yong-hyeok's Pantheon backfired, handing Bin's Jax a double kill. Skirmishes ignited by Xun's Trundle counter-jungling resulted in one-sided kills for BLG.
Jax asserted dominance with back-to-back solo kills, while Park "Viper" Do-hyeon's Lucian and ON's Milio also scored a duo kill. Although BLG suffered an Ace in a Rift Herald fight after getting caught in Dplus KIA's aggro juggling, they made no second mistake. BLG secured their third dragon with a flawless formation, anchored by Jax and Trundle up front while knight's Ahri disrupted the enemy team.
Around the 23-minute mark, Dplus KIA contested the Mountain Soul. Although Pantheon stole the dragon, Dplus KIA suffered a heavy defeat in the following fight and surrendered Baron. The gold gap widened to over 5,000. BLG later secured the Soul at the cost of Jax, baited Dplus KIA to Baron, and claimed both kills and the objective before marching into the enemy base to seal the victory.
