Preface: The S16 season has officially begun, and I believe most players have been following the recent matches. The LPL playoffs are intense, and in the latest games, BLG successfully defeated EDG, securing their position in the loser's bracket. While the match itself was a cause for celebration, Bin's pre-game actions have sparked widespread ridicule among fans. During the entrance, he refused to high-five fans who had purchased expensive tickets, which was originally a perk arranged by the event organizers. This behavior has led many netizens to question whether the league and the club should impose penalties on Bin.

Bin Refuses Official Interaction at Entry

Most players are familiar with BLG; their overall popularity has soared over the past two years, with outstanding results. In the first split, they even won the Global Pioneer Championship as the top seed from the LPL. The second split also saw strong performances, with them earning a spot in the regular season All-LPL first team. However, in their first playoff match, they stumbled, falling to the loser's bracket after being defeated by WE. Their match against EDG went relatively smoothly, as they swept EDG and advanced to the next round. But top laner Bin became the target of online mockery due to his pre-game behavior.

These three games were largely uneventful. BLG dominated in all aspects. In the first game, EDG secured early dragons but had no answer in team fights. At 17 minutes, BLG achieved a zero-for-four team fight, establishing a decisive advantage. At 28 minutes, after taking Baron, they pushed EDG's base in one wave. In the second game, BLG's duo carries—Viper and Knight—performed flawlessly, ending the match in 28 minutes. The third game became a solo show for Knight, whose Akali dealt unstoppable damage, dictating the pace. He secured a solo kill at 7 minutes, and the game concluded at 36 minutes. BLG completed a 3-0 sweep.

After the match, top laner Bin became the target of widespread criticism from players. During the entrance, the event had arranged a fan interaction area, but when Bin passed by, he did not high-five the fans. These fans in the interaction area were either from high-priced ticket sections or lucky draws arranged by the organizers—all orderly. His outright refusal violated some of the event's rules. Interestingly, during the previous match against WE, Bin had interacted normally and high-fived fans. But after falling into the loser's bracket, he adopted a cold attitude. Many fans have called for the league to announce penalty regulations.

Some netizens have also recalled instances where IG failed to interact with fans, but this situation seems fundamentally different. IG's refusal to high-five fans at that time was likely due to safety concerns, with security personnel already present. The arrangements back then were not as comprehensive—there were no clear restrictions on numbers or designated zones—making fan interaction a potential safety hazard. It's unclear whether Bin is cultivating a persona or acting deliberately. When you have achievements, everything you do is justified; but once problems arise, the boomerang will return. Just like Bin's earlier statement: "The sun will still rise."

Zaijian's Take:

Honestly, it's hard to understand Bin's behavior now. Last match he was interacting normally with fans, and this time he just gives them the cold shoulder. Some netizens have revealed that after the match, Bin kindly gave autographs to fans and spectators, likely trying to maintain a cool persona. Who knows what the club is thinking? If they fail to secure an MSI spot, there will definitely be repercussions.

What do you, the viewers, think about this?
