Both BLG and AL sit near the top of the LPL Split 3 2026 Group Ascend standings after early weeks, with nearly identical records and series efficiency that keep final placement tightly contested. BLG’s established core of Bin, Xun, knight, Viper, and ON has delivered consistent results, while the recent addition of Flandre from AL has strengthened their top-lane depth and flexibility. AL counters with a revamped lineup featuring Breathe, Tarzan, and Shanks that has shown strong gold-per-minute output and upset potential in head-to-head matchups. The 52.5% implied probability for BLG finishing higher reflects this narrow edge in roster continuity and recent form, though AL’s momentum or a single strong series could easily shift the balance before the split concludes.
