Beijing WB Edge Beijing JDG 4-3 to Win 2026 KPL Grand Finals in Chengdu

CHENGDU, November 14, 2026 – Beijing WB are the kings of Honor of Kings. Weibo Gaming’s HoK squad edged city rivals Beijing JDG 4–3 in a full seven-game thriller in Chengdu to win the 2026 KPL Grand Finals and lift the Sacred Dragon Cup for the first time in the team’s history.

The official Honor of Kings and King Pro League (KPL) accounts confirmed the result on Saturday night, with the league congratulating WB on the first Sacred Dragon Cup in the club’s history.

Beijing derby goes the distance

It was the KPL’s first all-Beijing annual final, and it lived up to the billing. JDG levelled the series at 3–3 in Game 6, with mid laner Qingrong taking the game’s MVP, before WB seized control of the decider. The league’s live updates from Game 7 describe WB grabbing an early dragon, breaking JDG’s bottom-lane defences and taking control of the map’s key objectives to close out the title.

Exp laner Zimo was named Finals MVP, according to Chinese media reports of the final, an award that comes with a signature in-game skin.

Revenge on the big stage

WB had to come back from defeat to get here. JDG beat them 4–2 in the upper bracket final, sending WB into the lower bracket, where they survived a 4–3 battle with Talent Gaming to book a rematch. On the night that mattered, WB turned the tables by the narrowest of margins.

For JDG, it is a painful near miss. Chinese outlet The Paper reported that this was the club’s first appearance in a KPL annual final, having entered the Grand Finals third on the annual points table with 160 points. WB, by contrast, qualified with 90 points after finishing fourth in the spring and seventh to eighth in the summer, before going all the way.

The KPL Grand Finals carried a total prize pool of ¥70 million, around US$10.5 million. Esports.gg reports that WB collect ¥20 million as champions, with JDG taking ¥10 million as runners-up and Talent Gaming ¥8 million for third.
