Bilibili Gaming (BLG) midlaner Zhuo ‘Knight’ Ding was crowned the League of Legends World Championship (LoL Worlds) 2026 MVP.
BLG defeated Gen.G 3-1 to win LoL Worlds 2026, earning the LPL’s first Summoner’s Cup since EDward Gaming in 2021.
All eyes were on his mid matchup with Jeong ‘Chovy’ Ji-hoon, but Knight very clearly came out on top.
Knight is the first Chinese midlaner to ever win LoL Worlds and the Finals MVP award.
Knight: “We Are The Best”
While it didn’t go to five games, this was still possibly one of the greatest LoL Worlds finals of all time.
In the first match, Chovy showed up big with multiple Syndra stuns helping Gen.G win the game despite missing out on every Elemental Drake and the first Elder Drake.
Yet, Knight was playing exceptionally too and pulled ahead by over 100 CS to Flame Horizon the player best known for CS leads.
And after that, Knight began to take over the series while Chovy fell back into the shadows.

While Knight didn’t sport any spectacular KDA scores, it was the impact he had on the map that was so crucial to BLG’s victory.
His Cassiopeia exerted so much pressure, his Viktor ripped through Gen.G in team fights, and Gen.G could not find an answer to his Twisted Fate playmaking in the deciding match.
Speaking after being crowned the MVP, Knight said:
“Maybe before the game, a lot of people underrated us. They think I can’t win against Chovy, BLG can’t win against Gen.G.
“But we made it. So, finally, I can say to the world… we are the strongest team, we are the best.”
