BLG defeated LEC's third seed, Karmine Corp, in the Swiss Stage of the League of Legends 2026 World Championship, securing their second victory of the tournament. KCorp's record now stands at 1-2, placing them in the same bracket as LEC champions G2.
In this match, KCorp trailed in gold for a long time due to deficits in individual CS and tower plate income, but quickly secured three dragons, keeping alive the chance to contest the Dragon Soul and turn the tide. However, KCorp later struggled with teamfight coordination and mechanics, allowing BLG to seize the opportunity to extend their lead and ultimately prevent a comeback.
After breaking through from the Play-In Stage, KCorp pulled off an upset against Anyone’s Legend in their first single-game match, before suffering consecutive losses to LYON and BLG. Given the current situation, the team must win two best-of-three series consecutively to advance to the knockout stage; another loss would eliminate them. Their potential opponents in the next round include G2, CTBC Flying Oyster, and Hanwha Life Esports.
After an unexpected loss to MKOI on the first day, BLG gradually regained their form, defeating Team Liquid and KCorp in single-game matches. The team had previously won the first two splits of the LPL and the First Stand international tournament, but lost to Anyone’s Legend in the finals of the third split. BLG is now just one series win away from reaching the knockout stage, though their current performance has not fully met the pre-tournament expectations for a favorite team.
