Weibo Gaming beat Dplus 1-0 in BLAST R6 Major Osaka upper bracket opener

Weibo Gaming defeated Dplus 1-0 on Friday 6 November to win Upper Bracket Quarterfinal 1 at the BLAST R6 Major Osaka 2026. The Phase 1 match was a best-of-one, and the single map lasted 45 minutes before Weibo Gaming closed it out.

Ranking gap on show

Weibo Gaming arrived in Osaka second in the Elo power rankings, with a rating of 1845 and a 62-18 record from 80 rated matches. Dplus were 16th, rated 1701, with a 66-46 record across 112 rated matches. With only one map on offer, Dplus had no second chance to recover from a slow start.

Dplus had some momentum going into the event. Their last four matches in Asia Pacific League APAC North Stage 2 were all wins: two 2-0 victories over CAG by VARREL, followed by a 2-1 and a 1-0 win against SCARZ. Before that run, CAG by VARREL had beaten them 1-0.

Recent meetings

The two teams had met earlier this year. Weibo Gaming beat Dplus 2-0 at the Six Invitational 2026 on 9 February, so the Chinese-based side has won both of their 2026 meetings.

Weibo Gaming's preparation was less consistent. Their final outing in Asia Pacific League Asia Stage 2 was a 2-1 defeat by Sharper Esport, a team they had beaten 2-0 in the match before. Earlier in that stage they had beaten Fury 2-0, Daystar 1-0 and Elevate 1-0.

Rest of the upper bracket

The other three upper bracket quarter-finals were also decided by single maps. Virtus.pro beat KINGZERO eSports 1-0, LOS beat All Gamers 1-0, and DarkZero Esports beat TYLOO 1-0.

DarkZero Esports have since moved further ahead. They beat LOS 2-0 in Upper Bracket Semifinal 2, becoming the first side to win twice in the Osaka bracket. Weibo Gaming remain in the upper bracket alongside Virtus.pro, the other quarter-final winners still to play again.

The Major runs until 15 November.
