Bilibili Gaming beat defending champions T1 3-1 in the second Worlds 2026 semifinal on November 8 and will face Gen.G in the final at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
How the series went
According to Hotspawn, the only outlet we found with the result on November 9, Bilibili Gaming took game 1 after T1 let Oner pick Nocturne and answered with an Orianna and Naafiri combination. T1 evened the series in game 2: Oner played Lee Sin and stole a Baron, and Faker added a Syndra performance. Game 3 turned on a mid-lane death for Faker on Ahri and ended as a Bilibili Gaming win. In game 4 T1 first-picked Vayne in the top lane, and Faker’s Akali plays cut a 6,000-gold deficit to 1,000, but Bilibili Gaming closed out the series.
