Bin unexpectedly returns to BLG's main lineup, leaving Flandre in a difficult position.

Following a period of unexplained absence, Bin is back in BLG's starting lineup. Yet the return of the star top laner creates a roster conundrum, with the team now holding three players for one spot.

Bin returns immediately for the match against LGD.

BLG confirmed that Bin will start in the game against LGD, ending the 2002-born player's temporary leave from the professional stage.

Earlier, Bin announced that he needed time to rest. However, his prolonged absence quickly sparked rumors of internal conflicts. BLG was forced to find a replacement, and young player Wenbo was the first to get a chance.

Wenbo could not immediately fill the void left by one of the LPL's top laners. Therefore, BLG made a notable move by signing Flandre, a former world champion with extensive high-level experience.

This move once led many to believe that BLG had prepared for a scenario where Bin would be absent for an extended period.

BLG suddenly has three top laners.

The problem arises when Bin returns faster than expected. BLG now simultaneously holds Bin, Flandre, and Wenbo for the top lane position.

If Bin immediately reclaims his starting spot, Wenbo and especially Flandre will have to accept being benched. For Wenbo, this could significantly limit his opportunity to gain experience in the LPL.

Flandre's situation is even more awkward. A former world champion who is still capable of competing at a high level would hardly be signed just to serve as a long-term backup.

However, from a professional standpoint, Bin is still a name that BLG finds hard to overlook. His ability to exert pressure in the top lane, execute mechanically demanding plays, and create game-changing moments in big matches makes him especially valuable to the roster.

Will BLG choose Flandre or Bin?

Having three quality top laners can be seen as a "pleasant headache." BLG boasts enviable roster depth and sufficient options to respond when player form fluctuates.

But as the season enters its decisive phase, constantly rotating the lineup may not be the best choice. A stable starting roster still needs to be established ahead of important matches.

The return of Bin thus both solves one problem and creates a new question. Will BLG put their faith back in the familiar star or continue to give Flandre a chance? This decision could directly impact the team's ambitions for the remainder of LPL 2026.
