Foreword: The S16 season has officially begun. I believe the vast majority of players have been following the recent matches, and the LPL playoffs are quite intense. In the last couple of days, there has been a lot of discussion about BLG. As the strongest team in the LPL, fans certainly hope they continue to improve. In the winners' bracket final, BLG lived up to expectations, sweeping AL 3-0. In the post-match released team voice chat, it was clear that Bin has changed his arrogant attitude and started listening to Xun's calls, but when the fights get intense, he still twitches involuntarily. Meanwhile, Knight is gradually becoming "bin-ified", calling ON the world's best support.

Bin's body twitches violently during team fights

I believe the vast majority of players are very focused on BLG. As the strongest team in the LPL, they have had an easy season, dominating from the group stage all the way to the playoffs. No one has been able to challenge them. In the winners' bracket final against AL, they swept 3-0, becoming the first team to advance to the LPL finals. Barring any surprises, BLG is highly likely to win the championship. Right now, BLG is truly in a league of its own in the LPL, which is why many say that only BLG can compete with the LCK.

In Game 1, just six minutes in, BLG's mid and jungle roamed bot and killed AL's ADC. At seven minutes, Xun found Tarzan in the jungle, unloaded his damage, and secured a solo kill. That put BLG into their rhythm. At 15 minutes, AL forced a team fight. BLG killed four and took the Rift Herald, solidifying their advantage. The first game ended after only 31 minutes.

In Game 2, AL performed well in the early game. At seven minutes, their jungler ganked mid with a teammate and killed Knight's Orianna. For the first 20 minutes, AL held a certain advantage. However, during a fight at 23 minutes, Breathe's K'Sante engaged out of sync and was killed instantly. BLG then got a clean 0-for-4, turned the tables, and took Baron Nashor. This match also ended just past 30 minutes.

In the final game, despite AL killing BLG's bot lane duo early on, they had few impressive plays afterward. Viper played Kalista as a physical assassin, and after getting a triple kill at seven minutes, he was unstoppable. At 18 minutes, after killing Breathe top side, BLG wiped AL with a 1-for-5 team fight in the jungle. The game ended after only 24 minutes. It felt like an adult playing with a child—AL had no answer.

In the post-match interview, mid laner Knight gradually became "bin-ified". He publicly stated that IG's overall performance has been outstanding recently and that he wants to face them in upcoming matches. He also said that ON is the world's best support. In the team voice chat released after the match, we also saw changes in Bin. Who would have thought that he would start following Xun's calls instead of being the lone wolf, and begin supporting his teammates during team fights? Of course, observant viewers noticed that in the close-up shots during intense team fights, Bin's body still twitches involuntarily—likely related to high nervous tension.

Zaijian's take

It feels like BLG has become unstoppable—no team in the LPL can put any pressure on them. Now it's all about international competition. The LCK's GEN and T1 are also steadily improving. How will BLG handle them? Within the region, there's no challenge left. If BLG can win the ultimate championship this year, they will definitely be remembered as legends.

What do you, the viewers, think about this?
