Introduction: The S16 season has officially started, and most players have been paying attention to the recent clashes. The LPL region’s matches are highly competitive. So far, no single team has asserted dominance over the league, with wins and losses evenly spread and varying forms. Recently, BLG has been plagued by negative news: poor communication within the team, conflicts between players and coaching staff, which escalated to the point where the top laner Bin packed his bags and left abruptly. After more than half a day, Bin turned around to apologize to the coaches and management. It was reported that his parents might have been involved in resolving the issue, and ultimately, Bin reclaimed his spot as a starter.

Bin bowed in apology and was reinstated as a starter.

Most players are quite familiar with BLG, a top-tier team in the LPL region. Over recent years, BLG’s overall form and performance have been fairly consistent, achieving impressive results and consistently ranking near the top. Their yearly investment is substantial, with the sole goal of winning a World Championship for the LPL. So far, their closest attempt was in the S14 season when they nearly defeated T1 for the title. This season, after roster changes, team synergy hasn’t been ideal, and communication issues among players have caused significant performance fluctuations.

After consecutive losses to JDG, internal conflicts intensified. Bin had a major clash with the coaching staff and management, prompting him to pack up and leave the team base without hesitation, seemingly to pressure the coaches and management into apologizing. However, BLG’s leadership didn’t back down; they promoted the second team’s top laner Wenbo to the main roster. Just as everyone was anticipating a major scandal, BLG updated their starting lineup, with Bin still holding his position as the starting top laner. After the drama settled, people began analyzing what really happened.

According to insiders, the conflict did occur, and Bin did leave abruptly. Ultimately, Bin took responsibility and apologized to the coaching staff and management. The top lane spot in BLG is highly coveted, and any player would want to hold it in such a top-tier team. Some insiders also revealed that, if nothing unexpected happens, Bin’s parents were likely brought in to mediate this “elementary schooler” issue. It shows that Bin’s maturity is still lacking; judging from his previous statements, it’s clear he’s quite immature. This sudden departure was shocking to many.

In a previous interview, head coach Danny pointed out discipline issues within BLG, which was the final bottom line. It’s speculated that Bin wasn’t very friendly with the Korean-speaking coaches, and after losing twice to JDG, his mentality suffered greatly. The immature reaction was to pack up and leave. Honestly, BLG’s players need a strict coach like this to discipline them. Their matches have felt like casual ranked games, with no real teamwork or strategy—everyone just does their own thing. Compared to last season’s World Championship, there’s been no progress. Individual skill is present, but teamwork is essential.

Farewell thoughts.

Who would have thought this incident was real? The final outcome was unexpected. It’s likely Bin’s parents handled the situation as the leaks suggested. If the standoff had continued, Bin would have ended up unemployed, and BLG would have promoted a new top laner or acquired another player to continue competing. After all, Hu Xi Ge is still resting, and in the third stage, he will definitely have a chance to start. Bin’s reputation isn’t great, so after this break, finding a new team might be difficult.
