Introduction: The S16 season has officially started, and most players have been paying attention to the recent clashes, with the LPL region’s games being highly competitive. Recently, discussions about the BLG team have surged. As one of the top-tier "Galactic Fleets" in the LPL, fans hope they achieve great results this season. After losing to JDG, a wave of negative rumors emerged, especially about internal conflicts, sparking widespread debate across the community. Recently, BLG officially released a public statement strongly condemning the rumor spreaders and began collecting evidence. Soon after, the rumor maker issued an apology across major platforms, with some netizens sharing his previously defiant attitude and even daring others to investigate.

BLG Rumor Spreader Issues Public Apology

Most players are quite familiar with the BLG team. As a top contender in the LPL, they have undergone significant roster changes over the past few years. Every transfer period, they invest heavily in assembling a top-tier "Galactic Fleet," with the sole goal of securing a World Championship title for the LPL. Last season, internal issues affected their performance, resulting in only a top-16 finish at Worlds. This season, they are making a strong comeback and currently hold the top spot in the LPL rankings.

After the match against JDG, BLG suffered their first loss of the new season, followed by a series of negative rumors. The most discussed topic was head coach Danny’s interview, where he mentioned disagreements over the BP (ban/pick) strategy and player selections that were not fully agreed upon. Soon, rumors spread online revealing the truth about the BP conflict, directly blaming Knight — no one else — and stating that both the coaching staff and players recommended using the champion "Syndra," but he insisted on his own choice. This incident quickly escalated, and the rumors intensified online, severely impacting the team.

The main issue is that the whistleblower was extremely defiant, expressing dissatisfaction with netizens’ responses. He claimed that even if he were an insider, he would never leak voice recordings, as doing so could result in massive fines. Currently, this leak is mostly considered a rumor by the team and fans are encouraged to investigate whether there really is a mole. Not long after, BLG issued a public statement announcing they had started collecting evidence and would handle the matter according to relevant laws and regulations. They also urged fans not to spread false information to help maintain a healthy competition environment.

BLG’s official announcement was posted only five hours before the rumor spreader released an apology statement, admitting that his previous comments were personal opinions with no factual basis. He promised not to spread any more false information and pledged full cooperation with the official penalties. Many netizens joked that they preferred his earlier defiant attitude, wondering if he really had solid evidence, why apologize? In summary, it’s not just that he thinks he was wrong — he is genuinely scared. After all, previous rumors about Uzi’s wife caused huge uproar and ended up in court, resulting in a satisfying outcome with apologies and fines. It remains to be seen how this case will be handled.

Farewell Thoughts

Kudos to BLG’s official handling — this is how players should be protected, preventing the internet from becoming a breeding ground for rumors. The main culprit kept aggressively replying to netizens' comments, but once the official statement came out, he quickly deleted his posts and apologized. He’s probably not very old. Hopefully, the authorities will take a tough stance to set an example; otherwise, people might think apologizing is enough to get away with it.
