Preface: The S16 season has officially started, and I'm sure the vast majority of players are keeping a close eye on the recent battles. The games between the LPL and LCK regions have been fiercely contested. The recent outcomes have shocked many fans, particularly the BLG team in the LPL, which is almost unbeaten after changing their top laner. The match against JDG was exceptionally exciting. The rookie player Wenbo even flashed forward to block damage for his teammates—something that was simply unheard of in the previous BLG lineup. Meanwhile, the LCK's GEN team has completely collapsed, suffering two consecutive losses in their home matches, prompting fans to send a truck with the message "ruler out."

The most team-oriented top laner in the LPL has arrived!

Most players have been paying close attention to the recent developments of the BLG team, the hottest squad in the LPL. Since the start of the third stage, many roster adjustment rumors have surfaced. So far, BLG has been starting the second-team rookie Wenbo, with no news about top laner Bin, while Saint (Flandre) is about to join the starting lineup. Based on recent matches, Wenbo's individual mechanics may not be as flashy as Bin's, but he is extremely team-oriented. Almost every game he plays revolves around his teammates, with no trace of individual heroism.

The two matches against JDG were relatively easy, with few twists. In the first game, just five minutes in, both teams clashed in the jungle, and BLG secured a one-for-three trade. Ten minutes later, JDG's top-jungle duo ganked and killed Wenbo, but Xun's Lee Sin calmly solo-killed Xiao Xu. At 21 minutes, Junjia's performance was decent, helping JDG steal the Baron to extend the game. However, it had little impact on the outcome. Finally, at 33 minutes, BLG took the first game, even winning a four-vs-five teamfight with ease.

The second game was even simpler. From the start, BLG executed a perfect four-man dive bot lane, securing a clean zero-for-two and safely retreating. After that, BLG took full control, never giving JDG any chance to turn the tables, gradually choking out all their resources. The most exciting moment was the push into the bot lane high ground. With Xun carrying Guardian Angel, the rookie Wenbo used his flash to teleport a long distance and block Lucian's ultimate for Xun—just goes to show how team-oriented he is. Honestly, if it were Bin, he probably wouldn't have flashed forward to block the shots, especially since Knight was already in position. The Cassiopeia could have survived the damage, but she would have been left with very low health, making it impossible to continue the offensive teamfight.

The LCK matches over the past two days have also been incredibly intense. No one expected GEN to lose two consecutive games on their home turf, and in such an ugly fashion. AD player Ruler has been playing like he's crawling in every match. Apart from Chovy, almost no one on GEN is playing cleanly—everyone's performance has been painful to watch. After the match, a truck once again appeared outside GEN's base, with the words "Ruler out" clearly displayed. It seems that the tax audit incident has completely shattered Ruler's composure. This season, GEN seems to have lost all competitiveness.

In my opinion,

Although Wenbo's individual mechanics may not be as high as Bin's ceiling, he is far more team-oriented. What BLG needs right now is a top laner who can help teammates steadily push forward, just like in the first round of MSI, when Bin had found a way to beat HLE but chose individual heroism in the finals. It seems BLG is now reconsidering: should they field Bin, or rotate between Wenbo and Saint?

What do you, dear viewers, think about this?
