T1 ends 13-year BO5 winning streak against LPL teams
T1's journey at Worlds 2026 has come to an end in the semifinals following a loss to Bilibili Gaming. The defeat marks the end of a long-standing streak where T1 remained undefeated in best-of-five series against teams from the LPL.
The match took place on November 9 at the Credit Union of Texas Event Center in Texas. Bilibili Gaming secured a 3:1 victory in the BO5 series, advancing to the finals in New York to face Gen.G Esports, while T1 was eliminated from the tournament.
This loss marks the first time since 2013—when the organization (then playing as SK Telecom T1) defeated Royal Club in the finals—that T1 has lost a BO5 series to an LPL team. Their winning streak included victories over RNG, JDG, LNG, TES, Weibo Gaming, IG, and AL.
When including all series formats, T1 has now gone 15 consecutive matches without a victory against LPL opposition.
