BLG won the 2026 League of Legends World Championship final 3-1 against Gen.G on November 15, 2026, leaving Gen.G as runners-up. Gen.G's head coach and players spoke about the defeat at the post-match press conference, as reported by gamemeca.com.
Head coach Yoo Sang-wook said the loss came from the team's shortcomings and inflexible draft choices, adding that Gen.G failed to secure side lane priority champions during picks.
Mid laner Chovy (Jeong Ji-hoon) said Gen.G deviated from their prepared draft structure and became impatient as their composition scaled worse into the late game. Jungler Canyon (Kim Geon-bu) pointed to lost object control in game 2, which he attributed to miscommunication around the scuttle crab.
