Zhuo proves his worth against ON.

BLG is acknowledged as the top team in LPL, with many LPL fans believing BLG will dominate the league. Even BLG players have teased opponents in pre-match interviews. For example, before the BLG vs. NIP match, BLG support ON called out NIP support Zhuo, claiming his "feet were itching." Responding to ON's insulting taunt, Zhuo stated in his pre-match interview that BLG players only talk big, and he would prove himself with actual skill.

Initially, many viewers thought support Zhuo was "joking," as the combined value of NIP's entire roster is less than BLG's top laner Bin alone. Most expected NIP to be easily crushed by BLG, but surprisingly, NIP defeated BLG 2-0 during the match. Support Zhuo demonstrated his capability, especially in the second game with his supportMing Zhuwho consistently predicted and restricted BLG jungler Zhao Xin and mid-laner Akali's engagements. After NIP's unexpected victory, LPL official commentator Miller expressed during a live stream that LPL is undergoing a shift.

Bin's imitation of TheShy results in backlash!

After losing to NIP, BLG top laner Bin's credibility significantly dropped. In a recent BLG official video, Bin confidently stated that BLG would make history, aim for the World Championship title, and achieve the "Golden Path" in League of Legends this year. However, shortly after the video's release, Bin was defeated 0-12 by NIP in a BO3. Many viewers compared this to JKL's recent 0-22 performance after his return, suggesting Bin's efficiency in a single BO3 surpassed JKL.

Some viewers argue that Bin's poor performance is due to the backlash from imitating TheShy. Observing Bin's recent match records, it's clear he is obsessed with "long-range heroes against short-range ones," a trend previously seen with TheShy. Many believe Bin's addiction to AD top laners has severely impaired his judgment in matches (e.g., in the second game, Bin playing Jayce and standing mid-lane dueling with Lucian indeed frustrated many BLG fans).

Some BLG fans also think the team overly relies on Bin's performance. If Bin doesn't develop smoothly in a match, BLG's overall gameplay feels "off." Regardless of how dominant BLG mid-laner Left Hand is, he tends to "disappear" in crucial team fights. In the first game, Left Hand's Rabbit had a 5k gold lead but gave away two major opportunities, and was chased down and killed by Assam in the final fight. BLG's bot laner Viper has only performed well once since the second stage, with Bin often carrying the team alone.

Conclusion

No one expected the highly anticipated BLG to lose to NIP. Honestly, NIP's victory over BLG owes much to bot laner Assam's contributions. Many viewers even think Assam has potential to be selected for the national team this year. Do you believe Assam has a chance? Regarding BLG bot laner Viper's true capability, many BLG fans on the team's super topic criticize Viper for not being strong enough.
