Since Bin was forced to leave the team due to online backlash and take a break, his reputation in the LPL has gradually declined. After all, BLG's new top laner wenbo easily led the team to a six-game winning streak, and many viewers are joking that "BLG's top lane is a position." Many even don't want Bin to return to BLG, as the rookie wenbo is very team-oriented in team fights. However, something that left many BLG fans speechless happened recently: in the key regular season match, BLG was surprisingly swept by TES, the "Gyro King." After BLG suffered their first loss of the season, many Bin fans flooded BLG's official Weibo account to call for a substitution, and even the topic "Bin-ge, we were wrong" made it to the hot search.

In all fairness, it's actually normal for BLG to lose to TES in the regular season, since TES has always performed strongly in the league. However, many Bin fans believe that if Bin were the starter, BLG would not have lost to TES. After all, although wenbo plays team-oriented, his laning skills and teamfight decision-making are not as good as Bin's. In the first game, he played Langmu (Wolf Mother) and made various teleportation mistakes and misused his ultimate, causing the team to be disconnected in team fights and unable to deal damage. In the second game, wenbo played Renekton against Olaf but had no lane advantage and was actually suppressed by Olaf.

Many Bin fans believe that if Bin had played Renekton in the second game, the opponent's Olaf would have had a hard time. Therefore, after the match, a large number of Bin fans called for Bin to return to the starting lineup, and even the topic "Bin-ge, we were wrong" topped the esports hot search list. Of course, many viewers also believe that the loss to TES was not entirely the top laner's fault; the performance of mid laner knight and viper was key to the loss. Today, knight was invisible throughout the game, making no impact.

Moreover, Viper was outclassed by JKL in the bot lane. Many LPL viewers noticed that Viper now only plays mage champions; whenever he is given AD champions, he becomes a passive ADC. In the first game, he had a Corki with a 10-kill lead but built a zero-crit six-item build. In the second game, he played Varus and rushed Serpent's Fang. Perhaps Viper himself realized his poor form, so after the loss to TES, he quickly posted a response, saying that the match against TES taught him a lot and he thanked fans for their support.

wenbo remains the starting top laner

After BLG's loss to TES, some conspiracy theories emerged online, suggesting that the entire BLG team was "acting" against wenbo to pave the way for Bin's return. For example, before the TES match, BLG had been picking mage bot laners for Viper, but in this match, they gave him regular AD champions. Also, BLG's second-game draft baffled many fans: after TES first-picked Olaf, BLG chose two immobile carries (mid and ADC).

Although most viewers suspect internal issues within BLG, the BLG management released the starting lineup for the next match against EDG, where wenbo remains the starting top laner. The highly anticipated Bin, whom fans hoped for, is nowhere to be seen, and he hasn't played ranked games for almost a month. Many viewers are wondering whether Bin will ever return to BLG. Additionally, the LPL transfer window is about to close (ending on August 11th), and many are curious if there is still hope for the top laner Saint to join BLG.

Conclusion

Personally, I think it's unlikely that BLG is involved in internal drama. After all, many industry insiders previously revealed that Bin left the team because some BLG players couldn't get along with him. So the idea that other BLG players would deliberately play poorly to bring Bin back seems too far-fetched. I can also understand the coach's decision to give Viper AD champions; since the developers announced major nerfs to mage bot laners in the next patch, coach Dan likely wants to experiment with different draft compositions, which is why he let Viper try regular AD champions to see the results.
