Bin officially announced his departure from the competition, acknowledging his poor form! BLG expressed their blessings, and the new top laner remains undecided.

Greetings to all LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the Global Game Hub.

After the EWC matches ended, League of Legends will soon enter the third stage of competition. During this time, rumors from the LPL indicated that BLG is looking to recruit a new top laner.

Meanwhile, not long ago, Bin officially stepped forward to announce that he would relinquish his starting position and temporarily leave the competitive scene.

Bin speaks out, temporarily leaving the stage.

After the defeat at EWC, the entire internet was criticizing Bin, including many LPL casters who felt frustrated with his lack of progress. As a veteran professional player, Bin displayed an extremely immature side, with selfish playstyle that hurt the team, and even exhibited absurdly poor performance in crucial games, ultimately causing the team to lose.

It can be said that Bin has become a time bomb within BLG. Perhaps he can play well in the future, but it's hard to guarantee that he won't have a major meltdown in important matches.

Therefore, choosing to bring in a new top laner is a reluctant but feasible move.

After earlier reports suggested that BLG was interested in recruiting 369 or HOYA, there were later rumors that BLG might not change their top laner. However, Bin recently took the initiative to speak out, stating that due to poor form needing adjustment, he decided to temporarily leave the competition for a period. Thus, BLG's introduction of a new top laner is now a confirmed fact.

The key point regarding Bin's temporary departure is how the communication between the player and the team went. Normally, Bin wouldn't need to leave the stage; he could simply sit on the bench. The worry is that a disagreement arose between Bin and the management, leading him to choose to take a break.

Analysis of Bin's departure: Can he acknowledge his mistakes?

Earlier reports indicated that BLG wanted Bin to apologize to his teammates. If this version is true, the likely scenario is that Bin has not yet realized his own mistakes and is unwilling to apologize, so he chose to temporarily leave. If the new top laner BLG brings in performs poorly, they may have to call Bin back.

There may be a negotiation game regarding whether to apologize. Of course, after some time off, Bin might come to his senses and return to the team. As long as he wants to, he will definitely remain the absolute starter for BLG.

Another key point is which top laner BLG will actually bring in. The third stage is about to start soon, and there are very few available top laners left: 369, HOYA, Breathe (Huxige), and possibly Wenbo, the second-team top laner that BLG was considering introducing in the second stage.

Theoretically, BLG certainly wants to bring in a top laner with decent strength to ensure the team's performance remains at the top. From this perspective, Hoya and 369 are indeed better choices.

Personally, I think BLG could bring in two top laners—a veteran and a rookie—to test them in scrims, then implement a rotation to get through the stage without Bin.

Missed opportunity, BLG's prospects are not optimistic.

Personally, I believe that if BLG brings in any top laner, as long as they are team-oriented and not too weak in laning, BLG can still dominate the LPL. Imagine in the EWC: if BLG had swapped in a different top laner—someone stable and capable of following orders—they would likely not have lost the decisive match to DK.

Of course, this is based on the premise that BLG's mid and jungle remain in hot form.

The key issue BLG faces now is not the league itself, but the future World Championship. BLG's goal must be to win the World Championship. However, with Bin's current problems, if BLG cannot completely eradicate Bin's mentality issues and continues to rely on him as a starter, they take on the risk that if he implodes, all of BLG's efforts for the entire year will be wasted.

Therefore, BLG would be best off finding a top laner who is above average, capable of putting enough pressure on Bin. Once they detect any issues with Bin in the future, they can immediately bench him.

Considering all these factors, I personally think 369 is indeed one of the best choices. 369's problem is that he lacks motivation and plays too passively. If Daeny can fix this issue, it's not impossible for 369 to have a resurgence.
