Bilibili Gaming knocked off T1 on July 4 in the MSI 2026 bracket stage, extending what’s become one of the most impressive streaks in competitive League of Legends. BLG remains undefeated at international events in 2026, a stat that would be remarkable for any team, let alone one operating in the shadow of T1’s dynasty.
But the scoreline isn’t the only thing worth watching here. The match attracted meaningful engagement on crypto-linked prediction markets, with platforms like Crypto.com and Coinbase offering users the ability to bet on individual map outcomes and series results.
The match and the streak
BLG took the series 2-1, a result that carries extra weight given the history between these two rosters. T1 holds a 5-3 edge in the overall head-to-head, and the Korean squad famously denied BLG a world title in the 2024 Worlds final. The two teams have also met at MSI 2024 and MSI 2025, making this one of the most well-worn rivalries in competitive League of Legends.
BLG has built a reputation for competitive consistency, with multiple LPL titles and deep international runs. Staying undefeated through a full year of international play puts them in rare air.
