Bin claims to be the greatest top laner in history.

Following BLG's triumph against G2 in the Pioneer Tournament, Bin delivered on his pledge to "bring a world championship to LPL," garnering acclaim from numerous LPL fans for his prowess. Viewers of the BO5 series saw that BLG's key player, Knight, was overshadowed and pressured by G2's mid-laner Caps, making Bin's performance crucial for BLG's success. Regardless of how disadvantaged BLG was, once Bin reached his three-item core, BLG dominated in team fights, with even LCK commentators praising Bin as a world-class top laner.

With Bin's credibility restored and amid extensive praise from commentators and LPL audiences, Bin directly ascended to the status of the world's best top laner in LOL. However, an unexpected development occurred: after achieving this title, Bin stated on his social media account that he might be the "greatest top laner in history." This assertion provoked dissatisfaction among many TheShy fans, given that Bin has lost multiple times to TheShy in recent years, and TheShy possesses a world championship skin. Many viewers believe Bin must at least secure a championship skin to prove himself as the historical top laner.

Two major official entities collectively step forward to support Bin.

Bin's claim of being the world's best top laner is not without basis, as two official organizations endorsed him after BLG's championship. Riot Games posted on social media, praising Bin's strength and declaring him the world's finest top laner. Additionally, the "Hubei Provincial Esports Association" in China issued a special celebratory statement, highlighting Bin as a model for domestic esports athletes and announcing his selection for the Asian Games team.

Bin's inclusion in the Asian Games is reasonable, as no current LPL player surpasses him in skill. Provided Riot does not deliberately target Bin, BLG has strong potential to complete a golden path. Indeed, BLG achieved a "counter-meta championship," since most teams focus on mid and bottom lanes for team fights, whereas BLG centers around top laner Bin. (With the LOL Asian Games approaching, who do you think the other four players will be? I suspect it will be BLG's four members plus a domestic AD.)

LCK commentators attribute BLG's championship victory to Viper.

LCK emerged as the biggest loser in this Pioneer Tournament. Before the event, many LCK fans prematurely celebrated, expecting GEN to easily win, given that BFX, LCK's second seed, had forced a full BO5 against BLG. Surprisingly, G2 twice swept LCK teams, and GEN's underwhelming performance led to widespread质疑 from LCK fans, with some even submitting "complaint letters" urging LCK officials to investigate potential match-fixing among GEN's players.

Due to LCK's strong international results in recent years, LCK authorities frequently host LOL interview programs (similar to LPL's饭堂). In these shows, many LCK commentators credited BLG's championship success to their bottom laner Viper, arguing that BLG's improvement stems from Viper's exceptionally stable lane performance. Last year, BLG's bottom laner Elk often encountered lane issues, requiring Bin to swap lanes to "cover for him." Now, with BLG's bottom lane able to develop steadily, BLG's jungler Xun can devote ample effort to assist Bin gain lane advantages.

Conclusion.

BLG's jungler Xun and top laner Bin were undoubtedly the two standout performers in this Pioneer Tournament. I personally don't understand why BLG放弃 Xun last year; had the five members磨合 for another year, they might not have ended up without an international title. Certainly, Viper's加入 has aided BLG's growth, as Elk tends to excessively trade in lane, effectively "binding the jungler," whereas Viper maintains remarkable lane stability.
