Former World Championship Runner-Up Makes Controversial Statement
While the community is focusing its attention on domestic tournaments, especially the LCK – where the LCK Cup 2026 has been full of surprises, the LPL in China is also quite lively. Notably, BLG has made headlines with the addition of Viper during the recent transfer window. However, up to now, BLG has not demonstrated the expected strength and has instead drawn attention mainly due to… the statements of former World Championship runner-up – Bin.
Specifically, right after BLG’s recent loss to AL, Bin confidently posted on social media Weibo stating: “I am still the best top laner in the world.”
Of course, this statement from Bin after a loss for BLG will spark controversy. Some opinions suggest that Bin remains “unchanged” and has not been humble after BLG’s decline and failures over the past time. Not to mention, Bin’s BLG even failed to get past the Swiss Stage of last year’s World Championship.
However, on the flip side, many viewers believe that this is a very normal action from Bin and shows that he still has a lot of motivation to compete. Moreover, BLG is currently in an unstable state. Some positive thoughts suggest that Bin’s actions could help his teammates, like Knight – who performed very poorly in the recent match against AL, avoid unnecessary criticism.
– Only Bin has the courage to post like that
– Can’t BLG rein him in? At this point, Bin is even losing lanes to Doran from LCK
– But this could be a move for Bin to attract criticism towards himself
But the former World Championship runner-up must bounce back immediately
The first split of the LPL has passed the halfway point, and there is still no certainty that BLG will be a strong contender for the title or participate in the upcoming First Stand. With a team that holds much hope and has welcomed a “blockbuster signing” like Viper, this is very hard to accept, and BLG needs to bounce back immediately if they don’t want the audience to run out of patience.
