Riot reposted Bin's "world's best top laner" statement

After LPL stars JKL and TheShy declared their hiatus, the buzz and viewership for the LPL league dropped sharply. However, unexpectedly for many LPL fans, BLG's top laner Bin, through two extremely outrageous moves, brought the LPL back to trending topics across major forums and even attracted international attention. First, Bin left the team carrying his backpack; second, after BLG lost to AL, Bin openly declared himself the "world's best top laner."

As the saying goes, bad news travels fast. The news of Bin leaving with his backpack reached the LCK, and many LCK variety shows openly discussed Bin's departure.(After all, LCK management is very strict with players; if a player disobeys management, they can be expelled. Even a superstar like Faker has been benched due to management decisions.)Bin's post spread even wider, being shared by many foreign LOL influencers. Numerous international viewers mocked Bin's statement, criticizing him for being overly arrogant.

Many viewers even believe Bin doesn't rank in the top 10 historically among solo top laners. Some are also worried about Bin’s mental health. Honestly, Bin's statement is quite "abstract"; most people suspect his account was hacked or the message was photoshopped. Even LPL's well-known "rant caster" Guan Zeyuan questioned if Bin himself posted it. But Bin is just genuine in his personality. Some viewers think Bin was trying to draw fire away from his teammates since BLG's mid laner LeftHand and support ON didn't perform well in this BO3.

Aixiao believes every AL player is world's best

After defeating BLG, AL secured first place in the LPL regular season, and AL fans celebrated with champagne. Early in the season, many LPL casters doubted AL, thinking they were ill-suited for the meta. But as the season progressed, many noticed AL was still overwhelmingly strong in the LPL. Although AL had some laning weaknesses, their mid-game strategy and discipline were the strongest in the league. Recently, Aixiao has been aggressively outperforming AL's critics.

During AL's victory celebration, AL manager Aixiao joined the fan group to joke about Big Brother Bin. Aixiao believes every AL player is the world's best, unique in their own right. He also praised AL's new coach Helper, crediting him for at least half the team's success in achieving first place in the regular season. (Wonder if former AL coach Tabe regrets leaving.)

Many viewers felt Aixiao was a bit too arrogant after hearing his remarks. Up to now, many negative rumors about AL have originated from Aixiao himself. Whenever AL achieves some success, the players don’t show arrogance; instead, it’s manager Aixiao who eagerly promotes the team loudly. However, some AL fans understand Aixiao, believing he is standing up for the players. Early in the season, AL was not recognized by many LPL casters, especially AD Hope, who was heavily mocked as the worst AD in LPL. Yet this season, Hope has held his own against players like Viper and ELK. (In the third game between AL and BLG, Hope’s forward flash helped secure the win for AL.)
