BLG has finally defeated T1 at Worlds.
BLG defeated T1 in the semifinals of the 2026 LoL World Championship (Worlds) on November 9 at the Credit Union of Texas Event Center in Allen, Texas. Successfully taking revenge for the 2024 finals, BLG advanced to the finals where Gen.G awaits, aiming to write a new chapter in history.
In Game 4, BLG got off to a great start by unilaterally sweeping three kills in a Voidgrub teamfight. Moon "Oner" Hyeon-jun's Wukong, who engaged somewhat hastily, was eliminated first, and BLG cleaned up T1's bot duo after a chase. From there, BLG's victory drums sounded across the map. "Xun"'s Skarner executed a successful top gank, while a double kill came out in a 2v2 bot skirmish.
By the 12-minute mark, the global gold lead had stretched to 4,000. Around the 17th minute, T1 picked off "knight"'s Viktor first to create a 5v4 teamfight scenario, but BLG produced a masterpiece play. "ON"'s Seraphine cast a flawless ultimate, which was artfully chained with his teammates' AoE skills. Having seized the upper hand, BLG calmly snowballed their advantage.
However, around the 28-minute mark, T1 showed their characteristic resilience. Despite losing Wukong first, T1 demonstrated exceptional teamfight concentration to turn the fight around and score an Ace. Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok's Akali ran wild right in the middle of the enemy lines. Their prize was Baron, and the global gold gap was completely closed.
T1 opted for a mid dive to deliver the knockout blow. However, Park "Viper" Do-hyeon's Ashe held on thanks to Guardian Angel, and Viktor, who had been exposed to Akali, also survived. Turning the tables, BLG eliminated all of T1's topside players and pushed down the mid inhibitor. In the fight for the Mountain Soul, BLG capitalized on their early positioning advantage to score a massive haul of kills.
After picking off Wukong, BLG headed straight for T1's base. Kim "Peyz" Su-hwan's Lucian, locked down by Seraphine, went down, and Vayne was caught as well. Pushing through with pure force, BLG put an end to the match.
