Preface: The S15 season matches have officially started, and most players have been paying close attention to the recent confrontations. The World Championship has been highly competitive, and after the last round of the Swiss stage finished, the whole internet was set ablaze. The LPL's number one seed, BLG team, surprisingly fell in the Swiss stage and failed to enter the quarterfinal knockout stage. Tracing back, the last time a number one seed exited at the round of 16 was EDG in the S7 season. Interestingly, both times involved LPL local matchups. After the match, BLG’s female fans completely lost control and publicly clashed with netizens outside who were shouting for the team to disband. It's uncertain whether Bin will retire, as he had previously stated he would stop playing if they only reached the round of 16.

BLG female fans broke down shouting for disbandment

Most players are quite familiar with the BLG team. As one of the top teams in the LPL region, they have invested heavily this year, especially during the second and third splits, continuously acquiring new junglers to improve the team's situation. The result was positive; they participated in the World Championship as the LPL’s number one seed. Just when everyone expected BLG to replicate their S14 season success, issues arose during the Swiss stage, and they were narrowly defeated 2-1 by TES in a crucial match, regretfully missing the quarterfinals.

Their elimination surprised many fans. BLG was considered the lucky team in the World Championship group draw phase, facing five opponents: 100T, FNC, G2, VKS, and TES. This means throughout the tournament, they never faced any LCK teams and only met an LPL team in the final match. Despite this, BLG ended with a 2-3 record, stopping at the round of 16. During the final fist bump, TES’s Little Cream won full recognition from fans by standing firm against top laner Bin without showing any sign of yielding.

After the match, a video from outside the arena sparked heated discussion online. It appeared to be posted by a BLG fan, showing many female fans cheering for the team beyond the barricades. Suddenly, a shout of "disband them" echoed nearby, instantly activating these female fans who openly confronted the comment with strong words. Many neutral fans feel that this BLG team really should disband, as the number one seed’s lucky draw ended at the round of 16. Besides Bin’s resilience, the toughest thing might be the post-match interviews.

In contrast, T1’s mid-laner Faker impressed all players. As a veteran with ten years of experience, he became the backbone in the match against MKOI. In the first game with Kassadin, he abandoned the traditional build and bought Shadowflame as his second item. Despite early disadvantages, he led his team to a comeback in mid-game team fights. The same happened in the second game with Ryze. Had the mid-laner been anyone else, MKOI might have won. It felt like T1 was testing Faker’s resilience. Although Bin’s mechanics were solid, he did make a crucial mistake mid-lane during one fight.

Farewell Thoughts

I recall sharing with everyone a few days ago what Bin said in a previous documentary: if they reached the round of 16, he would stop playing. Although this was said in the S14 season, many fans still remember it. It seems Bin might respond tomorrow with "The sun will rise again." Everyone understands Bin’s stubborn spirit—always tough in words and in stance. Little Cream standing tall during the fist bump was truly satisfying to see.

Dear viewers, what are your thoughts on this matter?
