Dplus KIA vs Bilibili Gaming Prediction, Odds, Best Bets - League of Legends World Championship 2026

The Worlds 2026 quarterfinals reach Allen, and the draw saved its strangest pairing for this one. Dplus KIA have not dropped a game at this event, and Bilibili Gaming just swept the MSI champions to claim the last quarterfinal spot.

The Matchup

This quarterfinal at Worlds 2026 is a rematch with a recent scar on it. Dplus KIA arrive at 3-0, the joint-best record in the Swiss stage, after beating G2 Esports and T1 in best of ones and sweeping Movistar KOI 2-0 to qualify on the first weekend. They have won all four games they have played at this event, and they have not played since October 25.

Bilibili Gaming took the long road to 3-2: a loss to Movistar KOI on the opening day, wins over Team Liquid Alienware and Karmine Corp, a 2-1 loss to Top Esports, and a 2-0 sweep of Hanwha Life Esports on Saturday night that sent the MSI champions home. Dplus KIA start Siwoo, Lucid, ShowMaker, Smash and Career, the five who have played every game of their run.

Bilibili Gaming start Bin, Xun, Knight, Viper and ON, the five who swept Hanwha Life on Saturday. Neither team has reported a substitute or a role swap. It is a best of five with Fearless Draft, and the two teams have not played since July, when Dplus KIA beat Bilibili Gaming 2-1 in an Esports World Cup quarterfinal on their way to that title.

Key Factors

Bilibili Gaming's case starts with how they finished the Swiss stage. Hanwha Life had them 4,000 gold down in the first game on Saturday, and Knight's four-man Shockwave turned that game and the series in one fight.

Bilibili Gaming snowballed the second game early and closed the sweep with a clean ace, and they did it against a team that had swept G2 Esports the night before. Every Bilibili Gaming starter has played at a World Championship before this one, and that seasoning is built for a Fearless best of five, where the champion pool gets thinner every game and the series rewards the team that can win in more than one way.

Dplus KIA's perfect record needs context. Two of their three wins came against teams that went home in the Swiss stage, G2 Esports at 1-3 and Movistar KOI at 2-3, and their one win over a fellow quarterfinalist, T1, came in a best of one. Three of their five starters, Siwoo, Smash and Career, are playing their first World Championship.

The honest counterpoint is that Dplus KIA have already answered a version of this test: they beat this Bilibili Gaming team 2-1 at the Esports World Cup in July, coming back from more than 6,000 gold down in the deciding game, then won a best of five final 3-0 to take that title, and ShowMaker has won a World Championship before. They have also had eleven days to prepare while Bilibili Gaming played on Saturday. If Dplus KIA's early game lands the way it did against Movistar KOI, where they won 17-5 behind a 9/0/2 Syndra game from ShowMaker, Bilibili Gaming cannot afford another start like Saturday's first game.
