The League of Legends 2026 Global Pioneer Tournament is imminent. Numerous teams have already traveled to Brazil to acclimatize to the local conditions and gear up for the competition! Currently, the first-stage winners from the LPL region, BLG, have arrived in Brazil. Photos shared by the team show that top laner Bin, jungler Xun, mid laner Knight, and support On have all reached São Paulo. The team's bot lane player Viper and coach Dani will depart from Korea. They might be handling personal matters before leaving from Korea, but they will soon join the team in Brazil. From the photos, despite the long journey and lengthy flight, the BLG players appear energetic and spirited!


BLG is also a top contender for the Pioneer Tournament title. The current meta emphasizes lane phase, with fewer complexities, which suits the team's progression well! Top laner Bin's laning prowess, along with Viper and Knight's reliability in team fights, make this BLG squad promising! While claiming a guaranteed championship is uncertain, they are expected to perform competitively against GEN and BFX! Meanwhile, the LCK team GEN has officially set off for Brazil. The group is embarking on a 30-hour journey to reach Brazil. Regardless, observing GEN brings a certain sense of pressure, as the team has been exceptionally stable this year. It remains to be seen if BLG can overcome GEN, but it promises to be an exciting match!


Another team, BFX, has also departed. Before leaving, players were interviewed. The 18-year-old rookie DIABE was asked if he heard BLG's top laner Bin mention not studying BFX, wondering where they came from. He responded that he isn't a top laner and won't face him directly, so he can't do much, but he trusts his teammate Clear to perform excellently and prove himself.
