T1's 'Four-peat' Halted: Bilibili Gaming Secures 3-1 Victory at Worlds 2026
The quest for a historic 'four-peat' has come to an end for T1. In the semifinals of the League of Legends World Championship 2026, T1 fell 1-3 to Bilibili Gaming, officially exiting the tournament.
The match took place on November 9 at the Credit Union of Texas Event Center in Allen, Texas. With this victory, Bilibili Gaming advances to the Grand Finals in New York, where they will face Gen.G Esports.
Game 1 saw T1 struggle early on, losing Rumble (Doran) during a tower dive and failing to contest Baron. After losing key skirmishes in the mid lane, T1 dropped the first map.
T1 bounced back in Game 2, capitalizing on top lane skirmishes and securing crucial kills. However, the momentum shifted in Game 3; following the death of Faker's Ahri and losing control of the Dragon Soul, T1 fell 1-2 in the series.
In the deciding Game 4, T1 showed resilience by securing a Baron buff and an Ace. However, BLG maintained a significant gold lead and secured the Mountain Dragon Soul. A final decisive clash in the base ended T1's championship hopes.
