LoL Worlds 2026: Betting Picks For Top Esports vs Bilibili Gaming
After the elimination of the LPL’s first seed, Top Esports and Bilibili Gaming face off at LoL Worlds 2026. Sitting at 2-1, the winner qualifies for the Knockout Stage, while the loser will get a final chance on Saturday. Here are our TES vs BLG predictions for the LoL Worlds Swiss Stage.
The second best-of-five of 2026
Top Esports and Bilibili Gaming already faced off seven times in the LPL in 2026. Strangely though, almost all of these were regular season matches. With six best-of-threes played, TES and BLG only met once in a bracket in the entire year. Split 1 playoffs, split 3 playoffs, Mid-Season Invitational, Esports World Cup qualifier — they managed to avoid each other in all of these tournaments.
The one best-of-five that TES and BLG played was the Split 2 grand finals. That sample of one match was a 3-0 victory for Bilibili Gaming.
It comes as no surprise that BLG is given as the heavy favorite in this match as well. Even though the 2026 head-to-head is only 4-3 in their favor, Top Esports has a long history with high-stake matches, and it isn’t a positive one.
Capable of strong performances, TES tends to play much worse when the pressure is on. This happens in the biggest playoff games, and also at Worlds. Top Esports has, in fact, never reached the finals of an international, and the LoL betting markets at multiple sites suggest it will be difficult for that to change here.
Then, there’s the big problem of the emergency substitution. Bai “369” Jia-Hao is playing top lane for TES instead of Cheng “ZUIAN” Zi-Hao due to visa issues. Arguably, this reduces the expectations on Top Esports and thus the pressure. However, 369 has had no League practice in months and he has a different style than ZUIAN.
A historically poor match-up, a worrying history, and negative outside circumstances. Here are the best picks for LoL Worlds betting for Top Esports vs Bilibili Gaming.
GGBet odds for Top Esports vs Bilibili Gaming
- Pick Bilibili Gaming to win the match at 1.23 odds at GG.Bet.
- Take BLG to win the first map at 1.36 odds.
- Take the total maps to stay under 2.5 at 1.6 odds.
Overall Expectations
Quite frankly, I don’t think either team is playing that well. In round 3, Luo “ON” Wen-Jun contributed to the Nautilus death fund way too much when Karmine Corp faced BLG. Meanwhile, Top Esports has close matches against teams that should be below their level.
With that being said, we’ve seen how it looks when BLG is going up against a worse team. In their match against Team Liquid, they conceded a single kill (before diving in the base and getting a second death).
Meanwhile, TES has another top laner and ZUIAN was an excellent player for them this year. Their former player was an expert at playing through the lane. At the same time, 369 is the opposite, as his early game is worse but he focuses on stronger teamfighting.
Having to relearn an entire team playstyle is rough, and abandoning the top lane doesn’t work in the current meta. 369 did fine against G2 and AL, but he got destroyed by Choi “Zeus” Woo-je, and I expect Chen “Bin” Ze-Bin to do no less.
