Introduction: The S15 season has officially kicked off, and most players have been following the recent matches closely. The competition in the LPL region is fierce. As the second round of group stages begins, the rankings of the teams are gradually stabilizing. TES remains at the top of the LPL standings, followed by BLG, IG, and AL. These four teams are highly likely to advance directly to the knockout stage. At present, BLG seems to be the most unstable among them—perhaps their honeymoon period has ended, as they’ve now suffered two consecutive losses. According to industry insiders, Beichuan has returned to scrims, and a highly sought-after team is currently negotiating details with a player who previously said he didn't want to play anymore. Many are speculating whether that player is Jiejie.

BLG’s Beichuan returns to scrims

Most players are probably quite familiar with BLG. As one of the LPL’s top teams, their overall performance in recent years has been outstanding. Every year, they represent the LPL in international competitions. However, BLG has yet to claim an MSI or Worlds title, and the “uncrowned king” label is becoming more popular. This season, BLG made another surprising move: during the winter transfer window, Xun was forced to leave due to rule violations, making Wei the starting jungler. Yet, not long into the second split, Wei was urgently replaced by Beichuan as the new starting jungler.

It was expected that Beichuan would hold his spot for a while, but after two international tournaments, Shad0w was officially announced to have joined BLG and took over as the starting jungler in the third split, leaving Beichuan out of even scrims. Previously, BLG enjoyed a seven-game win streak and held a top position in the standings, but after their recent back-to-back losses, Beichuan’s agent revealed that he has now returned to team scrims. The agent mentioned three points: he’s adjusted himself, used the time to recover, and wants to prove he’s fine—confident Beichuan is back. This response is intriguing, suggesting that BLG’s rotation is in effect, and Beichuan could have stayed on if he wanted.

Meanwhile, another industry insider dropped a major scoop: a certain player has become very popular recently, with interest from two clubs, but the player previously said he didn’t want to play anymore and just hoped to find a job. In my opinion, this highly sought-after pro must be a top player, and currently, only IG has officially announced Jiejie as their jungler. Some speculate it could be RNG’s mid laner Tangyuan, but as a Nirvana mid, he doesn’t quite fit the bill for a top team. So, could it be that BLG is now in talks with Jiejie, who just announced his departure?

If that’s really the case, then BLG would be the subject of ridicule once again. The previous three “Gongye Revolutions” already made headlines, so is the fourth one about to unfold? Shouldn’t they consider other issues with the roster? What BLG lacks right now isn’t mechanical skill, but team synergy. It feels like every player is doing their own thing, and the main problem in team fights is the lack of unified shotcalling. What they really need is a single leader to align everyone’s mindset; otherwise, even with good results, each player will just go their own way.

Final thoughts

Beichuan’s return to scrims likely means Shad0w will be taking a break. His performance in recent games has noticeably declined, and while he remains cheerful even after losses, fans are understandably frustrated. Honestly, BLG’s results are still decent—it’s just a two-game losing streak, and they’re still ranked second in the LPL. It all depends on how they adjust in upcoming matches. Are the “four brothers” really unable to accept any other jungler?
