Foreword: The S16 season is now underway, and the majority of players have been closely following the recent break period. Following the conclusion of MSI, the statistics have sparked widespread discussion. A foreign media outlet has just revealed its MSI All-Star lineup, and the selections are quite in line with fans' views. Although BLG finished as runners-up, two of their players made the cut, while the champion team HLE only had one representative. This time, players from Western regions also appeared, which makes the selection seem fair—it appears to reflect overall tournament performance rather than just the final match.

MSI All-Star Team: Two BLG Players Selected

Most players have been paying close attention to this MSI period. Although BLG performed well earlier, even crushing HLE in the winners' bracket final, they suffered from serious teamwork issues in the finals. A shift in players' mindsets was key to their loss. After the tournament, foreign media evaluated all players' overall performance and compiled an All-Star team. Surprisingly, only one player from the champion HLE was included, while two from the runner-up BLG made the list.

Starting with the top lane: Without a doubt, the best top laner this time is HLE's Zeus. If not for him, BLG would have won the championship. He performed at his peak in the top lane. Rather than saying his consistency was extraordinary, it's more accurate to say that Bin gave too many opportunities. Even when ahead, Bin insisted on forcing aggressive plays and trading kills, allowing Zeus's two tank champions—Swain and Dr. Mundo—to grow stronger economically, becoming like an impassable wall in front of BLG's team.

The jungle position goes to BLG's Xun. Whether against T1 or HLE, he gave it his all. Many fans even joke that Xun has been reduced to ashes from exhaustion, yet still couldn't carry Bin. It really makes you wonder how strong Wei was back then.

The mid lane spot belongs to BLG's Knight. Honestly, his mechanics were flawless. Looking at his radar chart, aside from damage per minute and damage conversion rate (both ranked third), every other statistic was first among all mid laners. This was arguably his best performance against an LCK team in a world final in recent years, but unfortunately, his teammates let him down.

The AD position goes to T1's Peyz. His radar chart is equally impressive, with almost all stats ranked first. Even a pentakill in a crucial match couldn't lead his team to a comeback. It feels like T1 and BLG share a similar fate—both have a top laner with serious mechanical issues, and no matter how hard the other players try, they can't save an impulsive top laner.

The support spot goes to Lyon's Isles. To be honest, this position could have gone to other players. Perhaps his high ranking is due to his team defeating G2 in a key match. On and Keria both performed quite well. The fact that only one player from the champion HLE made the list shows that their overall tournament performance wasn't as outstanding as many thought. It was more about BLG giving away too many opportunities in the finals. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such strong criticism of Bin.

Zaijian's Opinion:

Many fans are calling for a substitute top laner for Bin to increase competition and pressure him, but that seems unlikely. BLG won't replace their top laner. His position is similar to that of JackeyLove in terms of stability. After all these years, Bin still maintains an arrogant and cocky attitude. Without any major titles to back it up, he looks almost clownish in the eyes of many fans. He should calm down, settle himself, and win a top-tier championship first.

What do you, dear viewers, think about this matter?
