How BLG Beat Gen.G 3-1 in the Final
Gen.G struck first. BLG stacked all four dragons, but Gen.G refused to fight. Kiin's Olaf kept Knight away, Ruler's Corki fired freely, and Gen.G took the Baron and Elder fight to break BLG's base.
Game two ran 53 minutes. Xun's Naafiri put BLG around 4,000 gold ahead, but Canyon stole the Elder Dragon as he died. It only bought time: BLG took Baron and the inhibitors before the Nexus fell.
Fearless Draft bit in game three, with Kai'Sa, Sivir and Xayah banned. BLG put Viper on Taliyah with ON on Alistar, and ON's Flash into Pulverize broke the game open. A three-for-nothing teamfight put BLG on match point.
Ruler took first blood on Viper in game four. But a won fight at the Baron gave BLG a lead of around 6,000 gold. Gen.G started the Baron, and Xun stole it. BLG won the fight and took the Nexus after 43 minutes, 21 kills to 11.

How Much Prize Money Did BLG Win?
The winner takes 20 percent of the $5 million prize pool, which is $1 million, plus the Summoner's Cup, according to LoL Esports records. Results and video are on the LoL Esports site. The tournament ran from October 15 to November 14 in Los Angeles, Allen in Texas and New York City.
The Barclays Center hosted the first World Championship final held on the East Coast; previous North American finals took place in Los Angeles or San Francisco. Major publishers have reported strong demand for blockbuster titles this year, as covered in Take-Two's latest results.
What BLG's Win Means for the LPL
For BLG, the win closed a run of near misses. Twice in two years the club had led a big final 2-1 and lost 3-2, against T1 at Worlds 2024 and Hanwha Life at MSI 2026. This time they did not need a game five.
It is the LPL's first world title since EDward Gaming in 2021, and Viper was part of that team too, so he now has two. Knight is the first mainland Chinese mid laner to win Worlds with an LPL team. Bin, in his third Worlds final, finally gets the trophy.
For Gen.G, the wait for a first title under their own name goes on. The organisation's only Worlds win came in 2017 as Samsung Galaxy. Chovy is still without the Summoner's Cup. Elsewhere, Manchester United confirmed Mauricio Pochettino as manager, as covered in the club's managerial change.
