BLG Survive a Tough Challenge from Team WE
BLG entered the match as the favorite. However, Team WE had already shocked several top teams during their playoff run.
WE played with confidence from the start. They challenged BLG in every game and refused to back down.
The series went the full five games. In the end, BLG’s experience made the difference. Bin and his teammates stayed calm in the key moments and closed out the series 3-2.
As a result, BLG secured their place at MSI 2026.
Team WE’s Fairytale Run Comes to an End
Very few people expected WE to reach this stage. The team finished the regular season with a 1-13 record. Because of that, many fans believed their season was already over. Instead, WE produced one upset after another.
First, they defeated LNG Esports. Then they stunned BLG with a 3-1 victory. After that, they knocked out Anyone’s Legend, one of the favorites to win the split.
Thanks to those victories, WE became the biggest surprise team of LPL Split 2. Although they fell short against BLG, they finished in third place and earned respect across the league.
BLG and TES Confirmed as LPL Representatives at MSI 2026
With BLG defeating WE, the LPL officially locked in its two teams for MSI 2026:
- BLG
- Top Esports (TES)
Both organizations possess elite talent and extensive international experience. Therefore, many fans already consider them serious contenders for the MSI championship.
Top Esports secured qualification earlier through their impressive performance during the split. Meanwhile, BLG had to fight through a difficult playoff path to claim the final spot.
The qualification of these two teams creates enormous excitement among LPL supporters. Not only are TES and BLG considered the strongest Chinese teams right now, but they also feature some of the region’s biggest stars.
As MSI 2026 approaches, expectations will be extremely high for both organizations.
Bin Continues to Lead BLG’s Championship Ambitions
One of the biggest reasons behind BLG’s success remains top laner Bin.
Over the last several years, Bin has established himself as one of the best players in the world. His ability to dominate lanes, create pressure, and perform in high-pressure situations has made him a cornerstone of BLG’s success.
Against WE, Bin once again delivered when his team needed him most. While the entire roster contributed to the victory, his leadership and confidence helped BLG remain calm throughout the tense five-game series.
Moreover, BLG’s veteran experience across multiple positions allowed them to recover after difficult moments and ultimately close out the match.
This championship mentality will be essential if they hope to succeed internationally later this year.
LPL Split 2 Grand Final Awaits
Although BLG have already secured a ticket to MSI 2026, their season is far from over.
The team will now face Top Esports in the LPL Split 2 Grand Final, a match that many fans have been waiting for all season.
The series will determine the champion of China’s premier League of Legends competition and could also have major implications for MSI seeding and momentum.
Both teams have looked dominant throughout the split. Consequently, the final promises to deliver high-level gameplay, intense team fights, and a clash between two championship-caliber rosters.
For many fans, this matchup represents the true battle between the two strongest teams in the LPL.
BLG Chasing Historic LPL Record
The upcoming final carries additional significance for BLG.
If the defending champions defeat TES and successfully retain their title, they will earn their sixth LPL championship. As a result, they would tie the all-time title record currently held by Edward Gaming (EDG).
Such an achievement would further cement BLG’s status as one of the most successful organizations in Chinese League of Legends history.
Furthermore, winning another domestic title would provide a massive confidence boost heading into MSI 2026.
Instead of simply qualifying for the international event, BLG have the opportunity to enter as back-to-back LPL champions and one of the tournament favorites.
Can BLG Carry Their Momentum Into MSI 2026?
With qualification secured, attention now shifts toward MSI 2026.
Both BLG and TES will represent one of the strongest regions in professional League of Legends. Therefore, fans will expect deep tournament runs from both teams.
BLG, in particular, appear determined to continue building their legacy. First, they survived a dangerous challenge from Team WE. Next, they must overcome TES in the LPL Grand Final. Finally, they will set their sights on international glory.
The road ahead remains difficult. However, based on their resilience against WE and their championship pedigree, BLG have every reason to believe they can compete for another major title.
Conclusion
BLG’s dramatic 3-2 victory over Team WE officially finalized the LPL representatives for MSI 2026. While Team WE’s unforgettable Cinderella story ended just one step short of qualification, they captured the hearts of fans with an extraordinary playoff run.
Meanwhile, BLG joined Top Esports as China’s two representatives at MSI 2026. Now, with the LPL Split 2 Grand Final approaching, BLG have a chance to defend their crown, tie a historic championship record, and build momentum before taking on the world’s best teams at MSI 2026.
