Foreword: Prior to the LPL finals, the vast majority of LPL fans believed BLG would sweep AL easily, given AL’s struggle against IG the previous day. Yet unexpectedly, AL caught fire during the finals and crushed BLG 3-1, claiming their inaugural championship. After AL’s triumph, many LPL fans began apologizing to IG and admitting that IG’s loss to AL was fully deserved. Some even joked that if IG hadn’t made poor draft decisions, they might have won the league title themselves.

It had been leaked earlier that BLG was evenly matched with IG in scrims. Initially, many fans thought this was just hyping up IG, but after watching BLG’s draft against AL in the finals, many became convinced that IG had recently been scrimming with BLG. This was because BLG repeatedly picked “high-skill lineups” with no frontline or engage tools, especially Bin’s top lane Kai’Sa pick, which reminded many of TheShy’s top lane Varus the day before. Fans even joked that IG had picked up bad habits from BLG.

After BLG’s disappointing loss to AL, the entire team gave an interview to the official media, and the topic “Bin Responds to AL’s Championship” quickly topped the hot search list. The host asked Bin if he felt any regret over the finals defeat. Bin replied that he didn’t feel regret because AL simply played better, and BLG just needs to keep working hard for Worlds. This response shocked many LPL fans, with some saying that Bin has truly changed.

In the past, Bin was known for being brash and talking tough even after losing, both in interviews and on social media. But now he has become much more humble. He didn’t talk trash during the pre-finals banter, and after losing to AL, he praised their superior performance. To be fair, Bin performed reasonably well in the finals, while VIPER and Knight, often regarded as the team’s core, went missing and underperformed during the match.

Daeny Reveals the Reason for BLG’s Crushing Defeat

Besides Bin’s interview, BLG coach Daeny was also asked about the reason for their loss during the interview. Since BLG had dominated AL in the upper bracket finals, their heavy defeat puzzled many viewers. Some even recalled the MSI finals loss, wondering why BLG always falters in championship matches. Daeny first apologized to the fans, then stated that the biggest issue was a lack of synergy among the players.

Daeny said that before the match, most fans expected BLG to win easily, but unfortunately they didn’t, and he apologized to BLG supporters. He also revealed that the players had worked well together before, but for some reason today they all had different ideas, and he would correct these issues in the future. Many viewers, after hearing Daeny’s comments, were curious as to why BLG players, after nearly a year of practice together, still face coordination problems in finals.

Conclusion

AL’s championship victory is truly admirable. During the transfer period, when AL announced they would release Flandre (Saint Gunner), many AL fans thought the sky was falling. After all, top laner Breathe had just fallen into the LPL’s “Nirvana” group with IG, and bot laner Hope was considered a clear weak point. However, after this LPL finals, many AL fans have come to appreciate both Breathe and Hope. Do you think AL can achieve good results at Worlds?
