Preface: The LPL Third Split has been running for almost two weeks, and many teams have demonstrated their real strength. For example, BLG achieved a five-game winning streak after dropping Bin. Many fans are wondering if Bin still needs to come back. On the other hand, WBG, after replacing four supports, remains at the bottom of the Nirvana group. The dragon fight with five players scattered across five different spots caused many supporters to break down. Of course, the most awkward situation among these teams belongs to EDG. After acquiring a new Korean mid laner in the transfer window, they haven't won a single match, suffering five consecutive losses and becoming the last in the Summit group. Following the matches, they issued a public apology asking for forgiveness from their fans.

Since Bin decided to take a break and leave BLG, many of his fans have doubted the ability of BLG's new top laner, Wenbo. They believed that Wenbo, as an LPL rookie, would struggle to adapt to the league's intensity and hold back the team. They expected Bin to return when BLG's performance declined, saving the team like a hero and reversing public opinion. However, something unacceptable to Bin's fans happened: Wenbo's growth has been incredibly fast. He went from losing lane consistently to now dominating his opponents in the laning phase.

Because of Wenbo's improving synergy with BLG's players, the topic "Bin's awkward situation" directly trended on the hot search list. Many League of Legends viewers are curious whether Bin really has a chance to reclaim his starting spot. After all, there are rumors that top laner Flandre is about to join BLG, and Wenbo hasn't lost a single game with the team. Under these circumstances, many believe Bin's return to BLG is highly unlikely. Some even think that if Bin comes back and loses his temper, causing BLG to lose, his future situation would become even worse.

EDG apologizes, but Clearlove gets cleared of blame.

The LPL's recent poor international results have made EDG the last world champion face of the league. Especially after EDG rose from the Nirvana group to the Summit group this season, many fans "rose from the dead" and declared that EDG was back. However, after the start of the LPL Third Split, many EDG fans began to break down because EDG's performance in the Summit group was extremely messy. Within just 10 days of the split, EDG suffered five consecutive losses. (The LPL had a two-day break during this period.)

EDG has so far faced LGD, BLG, TT, WE, and AL. Among these teams, EDG only managed to win one small game against BLG; they were swept by all the others. This has left EDG at the very bottom of the Summit group. Many viewers are even starting to expect that EDG will make history by breaking WE's record of 1 win and 13 losses in the second split. Because of their poor performance, EDG specifically issued a post-match apology to fans, saying they will continue to work hard.

After EDG's apology, many fans blamed the team's problems on coach Maokai, believing that the coaching staff has major issues. When Clearlove was the coach, EDG managed to beat LGD and TT, but after Clearlove left and Maokai took over, EDG couldn't even win a single small game against LGD or TT. Many viewers criticized EDG coach Maokai for having a "formulaic BP." When EDG advanced from the Nirvana group to the Summit group, they relied on bot laner Leave's carry AD. However, with the new patch making mages the meta in the bot lane, the EDG coaching staff stopped giving Leave carry ADs and started making him play mage champions. But Leave's champion pool is problematic, leaving him unable to function as a core damage dealer.

Conclusion

When Bin said he was taking a break, many industry insiders revealed that he would only rest for two weeks and would return to the starting lineup after the break. Now that the two weeks are almost over, do you think the BLG management will keep Wenbo as the starter or give Bin a chance to prove himself?
