Introduction: The S16 season has officially kicked off, and most players have been closely following the recent competitions. Matches across major regions have been intense. The LPL has entered a short break, and during the Spring Festival, the top lane player Bin has been the hottest topic, with his series of remarks sparking widespread discussion among netizens. Unexpectedly, Bin's top disciple appeared recently. Former world champion support player Missing posted an animated gif of himself drawing Y late at night, accompanied by an English caption. Embarrassingly, the English was incorrect, and he quickly deleted the post, but sharp-eyed fans managed to screenshot it.

LOL World Champion Becomes Bin's Top Disciple

Many players are quite familiar with top laner Bin. As one of the premier domestic players in the LPL region, his popularity and fame have remained high in recent years. When he was with RNG, he even won a world-class championship. Despite aging, Bin hasn't matured but has become more childish, often saying surprising things on his social media. The title of world’s best top laner is firmly attached to him. It was thought he was a unique case in the LPL, but unexpectedly, someone has started to learn from him. His top disciple appeared during the Spring Festival; similarly, this disciple is not highly educated but is very spirited.

Support player Missing posted two animated gifs of himself drawing Y early on the 20th, along with an English caption: "lifeitsfkingmove." Honestly, it looked wrong no matter how you see it. Careful fans noticed he probably meant to say "life is a funky movie," meaning life is like a play, so play your part well. Whether he realized the mistake or not, he quickly deleted the post, but keen fans took screenshots. Frankly, this sentence reflects the reality of many modern male esports players: their overall cultural level is quite low. Many dropped out in middle school and became internet-addicted youths.

To be honest, Missing is already one of the most honored professional players in the LPL. As early as the S13 season, he was named the LPL’s Best Support of the Year. That year, as JDG’s main support, he helped the team win the MSI final against the strong T1 team and later secured the LPL Summer Split championship. His honors rank among the top in the LPL region. He even achieved over 20 consecutive wins using the champion Rakan, unmatched by any other support that year. This season, he transferred to LNG but was eliminated early.

Currently, the overall professionalism of LPL players remains relatively low. Although the league requires players to be at least 18 years old to compete, most pros don’t start training at 18; the majority begin youth training in middle school. Their immature minds make them easily distracted by external influences. Many insiders have revealed that some team managers take young players to various entertainment venues. Back then, pro players were very popular with high salaries, and being young, they couldn’t resist the temptations of a flashy lifestyle.

Farewell Thoughts

Unexpectedly, Bin has successors, with a top disciple emerging. However, Missing seems to have more dignity; upon realizing the mistake, he deleted the post immediately, unlike Bin, who remains stubborn and still claims to be the world’s best top laner after losses. The LPL region feels increasingly like a fan circle. Several countries have already announced withdrawal from League of Legends in the Asian Games. If this trend continues, the integration of esports into traditional sports may stall.
