Due to many star players leaving en masse this LPL season, a lot of matches have lacked buzz. Yet, BLG's top laner Bin has recently revived interest in LPL by himself. The issue started when insiders revealed that Bin had a fallout with BLG management, leading to his imminent departure. BLG urgently promoted their second-team top laner Wenbo to replace Bin in the starting lineup.

At first, many fans doubted the news, but as discussions grew and BLG's official account remained silent, more people began to believe it. Some fans joked that in esports, the more absurd the story, the closer it is to the truth — like when Uzi joined EDG or T1 management abandoned FMVP top laner Zeus for Doran, which initially seemed fake but happened. Additionally, Bin unfollowed BLG on his personal account, further convincing fans of a rift between Bin and BLG.

Bin rumored to have already returned to BLG

As the Bin departure story was confirmed by several industry insiders, many LPL fans wondered which team Bin would join next. Some even speculated Bin might follow the path of LPL veteran Scout by carrying a hefty buyout fee. Unexpectedly, well-known LPL streamer Sask revealed on stream that Bin had already rejoined BLG, and BLG’s official account simultaneously confirmed Bin remains their starting top laner.

Following Bin’s return to BLG, many fans questioned whether there was actually a conflict with management. Recently, popular LOL bloggers “Happy Dajinzi” and “Summoner Park” disclosed on social media that Bin indeed argued with BLG coaches over scrims. Bin lost his temper and insulted BLG staff, causing a major fallout. Ultimately, Bin apologized to BLG management and coaching staff, who chose to forgive him.

Zhu Kai calls for BLG staff dismissal

After the Bin departure drama concluded, many LPL fans criticized Bin’s immaturity. Last year, UP team’s coach revealed on stream that Bin frequently clashed with coaches over scrims. The worst incident was when assistant coach Kakao quit because of Bin, prompting BLG management to involve Bin’s parents to mediate. Eventually, Bin apologized to Kakao. (During the offseason, Bin promised fans he would mature and respect opponents more, but so far, no progress is visible.)

With Bin’s reputation collapsing, LPL champion coach Zhu Kai harshly commented during a livestream. He believed BLG’s decision to promote a second-team player to replace Bin was justified. Given Bin’s volatile temperament, if BLG didn’t punish him, he might repeat his mistakes. Zhu Kai also suspected the Bin departure leak came from inside BLG and urged the team to fire the responsible staff member, as the leak severely damaged Bin’s public image.

Conclusion

Personally, I feel that if BLG fails to win the World Championship this year, the team might face disbandment next year. Currently, there is tension between Bin and BLG management, and Bin’s reputation outside is severely damaged. If Bin doesn’t renew his contract, mid laner Left Hand and AD carry Viper are unlikely to stay either. Of course, Bin’s poor reputation is self-inflicted; if he had kept interviews modest and shown more respect to opponents post-match, his public image would certainly be better.
