BLG ties series 1-1 against T1 after Knight’s deathless game

Zhuo “Knight” Ding just played a game of League of Legends without dying. Not once. In a high-stakes series against T1, one of the most decorated rosters in competitive League history, Bilibili Gaming’s mid laner put together a deathless Game 2 performance that leveled the series at 1-1.

The rivalry runs deep

BLG and T1 have been trading blows at the highest level of international League of Legends for years now. During MSI 2024, BLG took down T1 in the upper bracket semifinals with a 3-1 scoreline. T1 got their revenge at the 2024 World Championship grand final, edging out BLG in a brutal 3-2 series.

Knight himself has been one of the most consistent performers in professional League of Legends. He’s earned selection to the LPL 1st All-Pro Team in 2024, 2025, and 2026, a streak that puts him in rare company among mid laners in the league’s history.

BLG has already qualified for MSI 2026, and Knight is under contract through at least 2027. The organization clearly views him as the centerpiece of their competitive ambitions for the foreseeable future.
