As the third segment of the LPL nears its midpoint, many teams have showcased their impressive strength. For instance, BLG is acknowledged as the strongest team in the LPL. Thanks to the new jungler Shadow's arrival, they have emerged as the biggest hope for the championship. Miller, an LPL commentator, even stated during a live broadcast that BLG is the only team in the LPL that might stand a chance against T1 from the LCK, while other LPL teams still have a lot of room for improvement. Miller's comments have delighted many BLG fans, who believe this year could be the most promising for an all-Chinese roster.
After all, BLG has not secured a single championship in the LPL this year, and many BLG fans hope that the team can clinch a title in the third segment. Naturally, many LPL viewers are curious about Beichuan's recent performance as the jungler. Many believe that Beichuan's skills are good enough to avoid being a substitute jungler at BLG, as it could hinder his career. However, several BLG fans have expressed that Beichuan is quite comfortable in the team, and the players will treat him well, even having hopes of leading him to the World Championship.
However, something unexpected happened for many LPL viewers: BLG announced that jungler Beichuan would not be able to participate in upcoming matches due to health reasons. After this news broke, many of Beichuan's fans felt devastated, as the main reason he stayed with BLG was the opportunity to compete in the World Championship. However, it now seems that BLG may not take Beichuan to the World Championship.
Of course, many LPL viewers are curious why Beichuan suddenly became unwell. On the day BLG released the announcement, Beichuan reportedly played ten consecutive ranked matches, stopping only around 2 AM. Many viewers are wondering if Beichuan is truly ill; if he is, why did he push himself to play ten matches in a row? Conversely, if he isn't sick, why did BLG issue a statement indicating that he needs to rest and won't be traveling with the team for matches?
In addition to the heated discussions surrounding BLG's announcement, another major event in the LPL is DOINB's announcement of his intention to take a "semi-permanent hiatus." During a live stream, DOINB revealed that this year marks the last of his professional career, and he doesn't want to leave with regrets. Since streaming conflicts with his training, he has chosen a "semi-permanent hiatus" to focus on his professional dreams. He stated that he would only return to streaming after completing all future matches.
Many fans of DOINB showed their support by sending gifts upon hearing his announcement. However, some fans jokingly remarked that DOINB would return to streaming soon, as the gap between the top and lower tiers of LPL is too significant. Even the bottom-ranked teams like WE and FPX currently have no chance of winning against NIP, where DOINB plays. The only team in the lower tier with a chance of making it to the playoffs is EDG, especially after WINK left the team, which has led to a resurgence for EDG.
Previously, BLG had a dual jungler setup, so I believe the announcement from BLG is genuine—Beichuan is indeed facing health issues. However, it seems he did not heed the doctor's advice to rest, which led him to play ranked matches against better judgment. If he continues to neglect training, there's a possibility that his performance may decline when he finally takes the stage. What do you think are Beichuan's chances of returning to the starting lineup at BLG? Will BLG take him to the World Championship in the future?
