After the conclusion of the 2023 World Championship, the professional League of Legends scene entered a period of rest, transfers, and preparation for the new season. Many players chose to enjoy a vacation or participate in friendly tournaments to relieve their stress. However, Bin’s recent case made many laugh as he canceled his vacation just to face Chovy and ended up getting dominated.
Specifically, both Bilibili Gaming (BLG) and Gen.G participated in a friendly tournament called the Esports Shanghai Master. On November 29, Gen.G announced their lineup for the tournament, highlighting star Chovy moving to the Top Lane. Subsequently, BLG also added Bin at the last minute to their roster for the friendly tournament.
According to the CEO of Gen.G, Bin originally planned to go on vacation and not participate in this tournament. However, as soon as he heard the news that Chovy would be holding the Top Lane for Gen.G, he changed his mind and decided to compete. Bin seemed eager to challenge Chovy, even though the Esports Shanghai Master was just a friendly tournament.
However, Bin was thoroughly dominated by Gen.G and specifically by Chovy in this match. In the end, Gen.G made a comeback and defeated BLG with a score of 2-1, despite losing the first game. This victory allowed Gen.G to advance to the semifinals of the tournament and face EDward Gaming (EDG).
In terms of individual performance, Bin did not make much of an impact in this match. Moreover, he was taken down by Chovy in a one-on-one duel during the split-push phase. Fans even noticed Bin’s lack of skill with Aatrox as he repeatedly missed his Q ability. Meanwhile, Chovy displayed complete superiority and capitalized on his opponent’s mistakes to secure victory.
Of course, the result of this match does not carry much significance since the Esports Shanghai Master is merely a friendly tournament. Nevertheless, Bin still showed that he faces quite a few issues in skill execution. Perhaps after getting “dominated” like this, Bin will take away valuable lessons to improve in the future.
