This Wednesday, Bilibili Gaming have punched their ticket to the First Stand Tournament after a nail-biting 3-2 series against JD Gaming in the LPL Split 1 2026 Upper Bracket. BLG is the first Chinese team confirmed for São Paulo.

Chen "Bin" Ze-Bin was named Player of the Match, dominating the top lane across all five games. He averaged a KDA of 7 with 57% kill participation, 29% damage share, and a +1,498 gold difference — a performance that kept BLG in the fight even when the series swung back and forth.

But the decisive moment came in game five, courtesy of an unlikely hero. Luo "ON" Wen-Jun pulled out an Anivia support — an unconventional pick that made a huge difference from the laning phase, zoning out Chen "GALA" Wei and denying him farm. The Cryophoenix's passive also proved key, baiting JDG multiple times as they committed resources to kill ON only to watch him transform into an egg while his teammates cleaned up. In the game-winning fight, Park "Viper" Do-hyeon's Kalista even used ON's egg to fling it onto GALA, finding the catch that sealed the game and the series.

JD Gaming drop to the Lower Bracket where they will face the winner of tomorrow's Anyone's Legend vs Weibo Gaming match. Should AL advance, JDG already hold a BO5 win over them — and head coach Wong "Tabe" Pak Kan knows his former team better than anyone, having built them into China's finest last year.
