Bilibili Gaming (BLG) may have finished first in Group Ascend, but their current domination of the Chinese League of Legends doesn't stop there. The reigning First Stand Champions completely swept the 2026 LPL Split 2 Awards, claiming all First Team All-Pro positions as well as the MVP and Coaching Staff of the Regular Season awards.

Knight Puts Up a Historic Run

While BLG experienced some growing pains early into the season after the addition of Viper in the Bot Lane, the team has become a wrecking ball as of late. Not only did BLG win their first-ever international trophy during First Stand, but they have also proven they are well ahead of their domestic competition after finishing first in the Split 2 Regular Season with a record of 12-2.

The squad as a whole has been lights out, but there is one man who is having a ridiculous split even by his own standards. Throughout the Regular Season, knight led all players in the league in KDA (8.69) after putting up a truly staggering 7 kills per game (also no.1 in the LPL) across 32 games played.

What's more, knight put up these incredible numbers while playing a total of 16 unique champions in the Mid Lane, more than anyone else in the role. Essentially, knight seems ready to dominate regardless of the matchup, meta, or competition.

Knight and BLG will now need to make their current form count as they head into the playoffs, where the team will look to secure their spot at MSI 2026 to aim for a second consecutive international trophy.

BLG's first match of the playoffs will be against Team WE this Saturday, May 30.
