Bilibili Gaming eliminated EDward Gaming with a dominant 3-0 sweep on June 3 in Lower Bracket Round 1 of the LPL Split 2 2026 Playoffs. EDG are now officially out of the tournament. BLG, who dropped into the lower bracket after losing 1-3 to Team WE on May 30, bounced back in commanding fashion to keep their championship ambitions alive.
From Upset Loss to Dominant Sweep
BLG's loss to Team WE in the Upper Bracket was considered a significant upset. Yet in the lower bracket, Bilibili Gaming answered with authority. Against EDG, they won all three games without giving their opponents any room to breathe. The clean sweep signals that BLG retains the firepower to make a deep run from the lower bracket — and potentially challenge for the LPL Split 2 championship.
Next: BLG vs JDG on June 6
BLG's lower bracket journey continues on June 6 when they face JD Gaming, who were eliminated from the Upper Bracket after a 1-3 loss to Top Esports on May 31. It will be a marquee lower bracket matchup between two of the LPL's most storied organizations, both fighting for a route back to the Grand Final. The other Lower Bracket Round 2 match sees Anyone's Legend take on LGD Gaming on June 5.
Upper Bracket Final: WE vs TES on June 7
On the winners' side, Team WE and Top Esports meet in the Upper Bracket Final on June 7, with a direct Grand Final berth and an MSI 2026 spot at stake. WE arrive with momentum from back-to-back dominant wins (3-1 vs BLG, 3-0 vs AL), while TES have looked equally convincing throughout the playoffs. All matches take place at the BuJi Cultural & Sports Center in Shenzhen.
BLG get the job done in the lower bracket and set up a high-stakes clash against JDG on June 6 — their championship hopes still very much alive.
