Bilibili Gaming taps Wenbo as new toplaner ahead of LPL Split 3, signaling roster reset

Bilibili Gaming, one of the most prominent organizations in competitive League of Legends, has signed Wenbo as its new toplaner for the upcoming LPL Split 3. The move sends Bin, a long-tenured fixture of BLG’s roster, to the bench or beyond.

What the roster swap actually means

BLG was founded back in December 2017 after acquiring the I May League of Legends roster. Since then, the organization, backed by Bilibili, one of China’s largest video platforms, has expanded into multiple titles including Overwatch and Valorant. But League of Legends remains the crown jewel.

Split 3 is the third and final split of the annual LPL calendar, making it the final regular-season segment before the postseason push.

The crypto angle creeping into esports

As of July 2026, there is no crypto token attached to Wenbo’s signing, no blockchain-based player contract, and no NFT commemorating the roster announcement.

Bilibili itself is a publicly traded company with a market cap that fluctuates in the multi-billion dollar range.

China’s regulatory stance on cryptocurrency has been restrictive domestically, but Chinese-backed esports organizations competing on a global stage exist in a gray zone where international sponsorship opportunities remain on the table.
