The most composed and confident figure in LPL! Ignoring Bin’s fist bump, fiercely criticizing the champion coach, and having conflicts with Kanavi

Hello to all LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is World Game Report.

The recent off-field uproar about Bin’s sudden departure in LPL ended with Bin’s apology. Yesterday marked Bin’s return in his first match back, but he suffered a crushing defeat against TES, losing 0-2.

TES’s mid laner, Xiaonaiyou, performed exceptionally well and sparked heated discussions among fans by blatantly ignoring Bin after the match.

Bin was solo killed and ended with a 0-5 score, while Xiaonaiyou went godlike in the decisive game.

Bin’s form yesterday was clearly off. In the first game, he picked Rumble against 369’s Sion, and it was obvious TES targeted him, causing him to die repeatedly. However, BLG’s other lanes maintained good momentum, with the bot lane gaining an advantage and successfully pushing towers twice. Knight’s Viktor also contributed strongly, securing the first game smoothly.

In the second game, Bin’s performance deteriorated further. He chose Renekton against 369’s Gnar, resulting in a notorious scene where 369 relentlessly kited him. Bin tried to engage but lacked range, visibly frustrated. Later, when he attempted to use Q again, 369 countered with a triple-hit combo and chased him down for a solo kill.

During team fights, Bin was zoning out in the bottom area and was eventually knocked away by Poppy’s hammer, finishing the game with a 0-5 record.

Xun’s Qiyana and On’s Alistar also played poorly this match. Xun showed clear unfamiliarity with Qiyana, missing elemental combos and failing the mid-lane initiation with an empty ultimate.

In the final game, Xiaonaiyou stepped up, picking Akali and solo killing a full-health Knight’s Viktor. In subsequent team fights, Poppy’s ultimate was perfectly timed, and most importantly, during a dragon fight, Xiaonaiyou secured five kills, giving his team a massive lead. Despite BLG’s unconventional team composition, they ultimately lost the match.

After the match, Xiaonaiyou completely ignored Bin and exploded in popularity.

Many iconic moments occurred on stage, and off-stage Crème showed no leniency towards Bin. During the post-match fist bump ritual, Xiaonaiyou deliberately ignored Bin, refusing to shake his hand, his expression full of disdain.

This scene was caught by both commentators and viewers alike, who all exclaimed how bold Xiaonaiyou was.

It’s well-known that Bin has earned the nickname “Steelback Beast” in LPL because he refuses to bow during the post-match fist bump, which fans criticize as rude behavior.

Besides, Bin is known for making big claims that he never fulfills, often getting proven wrong. Many fans harshly comment that Bin’s credibility is so low he couldn’t even rent a shared bike. Xiaonaiyou clearly disapproves of Bin’s various actions.

As early as last year’s matches, Xiaonaiyou also refused to bow when fist bumping Bin. The contrast is obvious: Xiaonaiyou is friendly when fist bumping others but stands firm without bowing to Bin, a behavior dubbed “mutual defiance” — if you’re stiff, I’ll be too.

The most composed and confident figure, fiercely criticizing the champion coach

In my opinion, Xiaonaiyou’s refusal to fist bump has a greater impact than expected. Bin is an extremely arrogant player, and when he performs poorly, his reputation both publicly and within the team plummets. Xiaonaiyou is not the only player dissatisfied with Bin. If Bin doesn’t change his attitude, he will suffer greatly without achieving results.

Another point about Xiaonaiyou is his fighting spirit, which many current LPL players lack. Among all active LPL players, Xiaonaiyou is arguably the most composed and confident. Besides ignoring Bin, last year he also openly confronted champion coach Homme.

In TES’s documentary, Xiaonaiyou didn’t hold back on Homme either. He openly criticized Homme’s last-minute BP changes, pointing out mistakes without hesitation just because Homme is the coach. This is quite admirable and shows clear principles.

Also, during last year’s Pioneer Cup, TES performed terribly amid internal conflicts. Most speculated the issues were between TES’s mid and jungle players, as the other three players have less dominant personalities. Xiaonaiyou’s straightforward nature clashed with Kanavi, the team leader, making the mid-jungle relationship the core of the conflict.

It’s clear that Xiaonaiyou is no ordinary player. LPL needs more players like him, while Bin’s attitude will only harm the team.
