BLG Bin on Defeating T1: "This is a historical moment for me"
BLG top laner Chen "Bin" Ze-Bin reflected on his team's historic victory over T1 in the semifinals of Worlds 2026. Following a 3:1 series win, BLG became the first LPL team to eliminate T1 from the World Championship, securing their spot in the grand final.
Defeating the legendary T1 organization was a significant milestone for Bin. The player described the achievement as a historical moment, noting that facing Faker and T1 on such a massive stage has always been a dream of his. He expressed deep honor and happiness regarding the result.
Despite BLG's history of falling short of the ultimate trophy in previous attempts, the team maintained a relentless focus on their goal. Bin emphasized that past setbacks and obstacles have not discouraged the roster; instead, they have fueled the determination to keep moving forward and secure the championship.
BLG's performance against LCK representatives has been a standout theme of the tournament, with the team securing three victories over Korean opponents. Bin attributed this success to the team's refusal to give up and their ability to maintain focus on the final goal, even when facing elite competition.
The upcoming grand final will see BLG face Gen.G, setting up a highly anticipated matchup between Bin and Kiin. Bin revealed that he had hoped to face the top laner during First Stand, but Kiin's team was eliminated before they could meet. Now, the opportunity to settle that matchup has finally arrived.
This marks Bin's third appearance in a Worlds final. He concluded by stating that BLG does not intend to let this opportunity slip away and is fully committed to bringing the championship trophy home.
