Earlier: The S16 season is about to start, and most players have been following the recent offseason closely. The BLG team, being highly watched by everyone, made a huge investment again during this transfer period, assembling a top-tier luxury roster. However, their performance in the Demacia Cup was not very impressive; they were eliminated early and didn’t even make it to the quarterfinals. During this offseason, BLG has been constantly adjusting, but their top laner Bin shared a photo of his red buff late at night, which quickly sparked widespread discussion online. Even Knight quickly commented below asking what’s going on? Checking Bin’s Korean solo queue stats shows he’s doing okay, so maybe he just had a bad scrim.

Most players are quite familiar with BLG, a top team in the LPL region. Over the past few years, they have made significant investments, building super luxurious rosters almost every year. This season is no exception. During the transfer window, they not only renewed a two-year contract with mid laner Knight but also brought back their old teammate Xun and signed LCK’s top AD carry Viper, forming a “Galaxy Fleet” with the sole goal of winning the World Championship. However, during the Demacia Cup, they ran into problems again and only reached the round of 16.

The recent offseason has been their final preparation phase, with all players undergoing intense training. BLG definitely aims to secure first or second place in the first split, especially since there are two spots for the upcoming Global Pioneers tournament. Everyone thought their form was decent recently, but unexpectedly, top laner Bin posted a photo of his red buff at 1:37 AM, probably right after training. Then around 2 AM, Knight commented below asking what’s going on? Fans replied saying, “He’s right next to you, why ask us? Go check on him!”

Looking into BLG players’ Korean solo queue training, it was found that around 1 AM nobody was playing ranked matches. Most likely, BLG was scrimming against other teams, and their performance wasn’t great, with Bin himself showing signs of frustration. Bin seems to be becoming more of a lively character, and many are concerned about his condition. After all, top-tier pros in the LPL are becoming rarer. If Bin doesn’t keep pushing forward, it’s hard to say how LPL’s popularity will continue. His recent remarks have indeed drawn quite a bit of attention.

Recently, some good news about Viper has surfaced from his Korean agency. Shadow Agency stated they’ve had many discussions and good news will come soon, likely meaning Viper has joined them. However, this agency isn’t well-liked; many pros including Kael belong to it, and it’s known for focusing solely on profits. Meanwhile, Ale attracted a lot of jokes during a recent livestream. After the Demacia Cup, fans noticed he was missing a front tooth and humorously speculated whether Ning was the one who punched him out. With a tooth tower gone, will he have to eat around the side now?

Farewell thoughts.

Unexpectedly, Bin posted a photo of his red buff late at night without giving any explanation to fans. After trending, everyone started guessing. In my opinion, it was probably due to a bad scrim where they didn’t perform up to their true potential. Bin holds himself to high standards and strict requirements, so this was likely a way to vent. Looking forward to Bin’s outstanding performance in the first split.

What do all of you viewers think about this situation?
