Bilibili Gaming Extend Their Run With TES Rout
Bilibili Gaming beat Top Esports in Game 2 of the LPL 2026 Split 3, using Baron control and a 12k gold lead to close the BO3.
TL;DR: Bilibili Gaming closed out Top Esports and extended their winning run to 4 with a one-sided Game 2 in LPL 2026. Their chaotic skirmishing became a decisive snowball through 2 barons, while ON’s flawless Karma support play gave BLG the control needed to finish the BO3.
Key Takeaways
- Bilibili Gaming turned a 12.1k gold lead into a 23-10 kill score, confirming that their early pressure was not merely a temporary advantage.
- ON posted a 1/0/19 line and 20.00 KDA on Karma, providing the shields, speed and crowd control that kept every BLG fight connected.
- Viper dealt 32.1% of Bilibili Gaming’s damage on Ezreal, making TES pay whenever they tried to contest the map.
Building the Lead
With Bilibili Gaming already leading the series, Game 2 was their chance to close out Top Esports rather than allow an equalizer. The draft model’s 53% edge for BLG materialized quickly: Pantheon found the proactive angles against Vi, while the Annie-Aurora lane gave the favored side more reliable engage.
The pre-draft watchlist correctly identified Rumble and Ezreal, and both appeared. ZUIAN’s Rumble produced 2/7/1, unable to convert his 28.2% damage share into a stable frontline, while Ezreal delivered exactly the safe, punishing carry expected from the pick. The game remained skirmish-heavy, but BLG repeatedly emerged with the cleaner reset.
The Numbers Tell the Story
Bilibili Gaming finished with 67.7k gold to Top Esports’ 55.6k, a gap that explains why TES could claim 4 dragons yet never seize lasting control. BLG’s 11 towers to 3 steadily stripped away safe lanes and vision, turning each objective approach into dangerous territory.
Knight’s Annie landed a commanding 7/2/10 performance with 25.8% damage, giving his side instant punishment whenever an opening appeared. Alongside him, Bin’s Ambessa supplied 5/4/9, forcing TES to split attention before the backline could operate freely.
The Final Push
At 31:51, Bilibili Gaming’s second Baron made the conclusion inevitable. Their 2 barons to 0 created the siege power that dragons alone could not match, and the final 23-10 kill margin reflected a map where TES were constantly reacting.
JackeyLove managed 2/3/4 on Jhin, but his 19.8% damage could not overcome the protected poke and engage around him. BLG had transformed a draft edge into a full map chokehold, extending their run to 4 and ending the day without allowing a third game.
Polymarket Market
Polymarket priced Bilibili Gaming at 64% when the Game 2 draft closed, and the market read the winner correctly. The pre-series line had already favored BLG at 66%, so this was continuation rather than a narrative reversal. What the number could not fully capture was the severity of the execution gap: Bilibili Gaming converted their draft advantages into 2 barons, 11 towers and a 12.1k gold lead, while Top Esports’ dragon collection never became a comeback route. This result closes the series 0-2, with the full series-market wrap-up belonging in the series recap.
