Left Hand becomes the fastest LPL historical number one.

The S16 season matches have officially begun, and most esports viewers are focusing on the LPL second stage competition. Yesterday BLG easily defeated WBG 2-0, sparking extensive discussion among LPL audiences. In this BO3, BLG mid-laner Left Hand created LPL history, achieving the 4000 kills milestone in just 837 matches, surpassing ROOKIE and Xiaohu to become the fastest player to reach 4000 kills in LPL. (ROOKIE took 1030 matches, while Xiaohu took 1134 matches.)

Left Hand's rapid attainment of the 4000 kills glory is closely related to WBG mid-laner Xiaohu being too "regional." In this BO3, Xiaohu completely became Left Hand's "son," suppressed by Left Hand both in lane and during team fights. In the first game playing Mel, he was outpushed by Annie; in the second game, Left Hand's Shurima Emperor showcased various brilliant plays dominating him. Many viewers, seeing WBG's performance, hoped WBG would disband quickly. Even LPL's "takeout coach" Zhu Kai suggested in his stream that WBG's five players should go on a team-building trip for a month, so there might be no "communication barriers" among them. Currently, the five WBG players are each playing their own game with zero communication ability.

After Left Hand broke the LPL record, he confidently declared in an interview that BLG is the strongest team in LPL. BLG coach DanNi stated that although BLG defeated WBG, they still need to practice heroes in the future. Many viewers also believe BLG is currently treating other LPL teams as "grinding stones." Indeed, in the recent 10 matches, BLG mid-laner Left Hand has played 9 different mid heroes: Rabbit, Akali, Annie, Fox, LeBlanc, Mel, Shurima Emperor, etc.

It must be said that BLG coach Dan God is truly helping BLG players grow. In BLG documentaries, players joke that if DanNi catches them not playing ranked during training sessions, they get scolded. Many BLG fans are grateful DanNi joined BLG, as these players have high potential ceilings but were severely hindered by former coach Dawei in previous years, leading to BLG lacking world championships for many years. After DanNi joined BLG this year, both match BP and team discipline have significantly improved.

Bin's interview pays tribute to TheShy.

Besides Left Hand's bold interview statements, BLG top-laner superstar Bin also responded to various host questions post-match. Bin praised the current patch as fun because top lane can play many AD heroes. In the interview, Bin paid tribute to TheShy, saying he watched many old TheShy AD top lane match recordings during breaks and wants to bring out more top lane heroes in the future, most notably wanting to play Kalista as a top AD hero.

Actually, viewers who frequently follow Bin's interviews know that Bin has praised TheShy many times in earlier interviews, considering TheShy a learning model for all LPL top-laners. So Bin studying TheShy's recordings is quite normal. However, some TheShy haters like to use Bin to belittle TheShy. Personally, I feel Bin's AD top hero pressure is very strong. Unless top lane undergoes major changes, Bin's dominance will persist. Even BLG, led by Bin, has hopes of winning MSI.

Conclusion.

BLG coach Dan God stated that BLG focuses on practicing heroes during the regular season, hence BLG tries various creative plays in matches. I believe once BLG advances to playoffs, their dominance will still be LPL's top, as BLG's current BP is unpredictable and incomprehensible. Do you think BLG can win the second stage this year and complete the golden path?
