Bilibili Gaming win the LPL Split 1 2026 trophy off a monstrous performance by Bin
Despite a shaky start to the season, Bilibili Gaming (BLG) are back on top! Led by Chen "Bin" Ze-Bin in the Top Lane, the Chinese powerhouse crushed JD Gaming (JDG) in the Grand Finals to win the LPL Split 1 2026.
BLG will now head to Brazil for First Stand 2026, where they look like Gen.G's biggest threat in the race for the trophy.
Bin Is Still King: Leading BLG to the Title
Just days ago, BLG and JDG put on marathonic series in the Upper Bracket Finals that would eventually see BLG claim the 3-2 victory. This time around, with the trophy on the line, the series was not that close of an affair.
Despite a shaky Game 3, BLG managed to win the Grand Finals with a comfortable 3-1 score off the back of Bin; a player who looks to be getting back into form after some disappointing showings last year.
Over the course of the series, only JDG's ADC Chen "GALA" Wei was able to match Bin's total kill count in the series (18 kills for both). Raw numbers aside, the amount of pressure Bin was able to exert — not just on his lane opponent, but on the entirety of JDG — was simply monstrous.
After running the show, Bin claimed the Finals MVP award for himself. The star Top Laner will now look to maintain that level of form if he has any of hope of outperforming Kim "Kiin" Gi-in to lead BLG to the title over Gen.G at First Stand 2026.
