Live schedule and standings: Worlds
Gen.G and 
Bilibili Gaming play for 
Worlds on 14 November in Brooklyn. Bo5, 14:00 EST (UTC-5, 20:00 CET). The series is the final. It is not a rematch of this year.
They have not played each other in 2025 or in 2026. The last two series in the books are both MSI playoffs, May 2024: Gen.G 3-1 on the 16th, Gen.G 3-1 again on the 19th. Two Bo5s, three days apart, then nothing. Brooklyn is the first time 
Chovy and 
Ruler get a series against 
knight and 
Viper.
One map, all tournament
Gen.G left Swiss 3-0. The only map they have dropped here is the 2-1 against LYON on 25 October, that Swiss series. They then beat the same LYON 3-0 in the quarterfinal, and swept Invictus Gaming 3-0 in the semi. IG won the kills and the dragons on game 3. Ruler on Yunara still put 45,924 damage on the map that ended it.
Five series at this Worlds. One map dropped. The semi did not add to that column.
BLG got here the other way
BLG left Swiss 3-2. They lost the opener, 0-1 to Movistar KOI, beat Liquid, beat Karmine Corp, then lost 1-2 to Top Esports before closing HLE 2-0. The quarterfinal did not look like that Swiss. BLG swept Dplus KIA 3-0, fourteen dragons to one.
The semi was 3-1 over T1, and it is the third series BLG have taken off that roster in 2026, after a 3-2 at MSI and a 1-0 at EWC. Game 2 of the semi was not a formality. T1 took it with five dragons to none, and Faker finished 4/0/13. Game 3, Viper on Ezreal went 7/1/8 and 42,774 damage. Game 4, Bin on Renekton went 7/1/7. The year against T1 stayed BLG's. The path to Brooklyn still has a 5-0 dragon map in it that they lost.
A Bo5 with no 2026 sheet
Gen.G have the cleaner tournament. BLG have the series that actually bent, and they won it anyway. There is no 2026 head-to-head to lean on, and the 2024 scores are two years and a bot lane away from this final.
Canyon and Chovy on one side, 
Xun and knight on the other, Ruler against Viper. Brooklyn, 14:00 EST. First to three, with nothing from this season to settle it before the first map.
