Many professional players begin displaying muscles.

As the strongest top-laner in LPL, Bin has almost no flaws apart from liking to boast in interviews to amuse fans and not bending to shake hands post-match. After all, Bin's fans joke that when Bin "goes wild" during interviews, fans can join in the frenzy; and when Bin loses a match and gets hit by backlash, the public criticism only targets Bin alone, allowing fans to quietly "hide". Therefore, many of Bin's fans hope he makes more "arrogant" statements to bring more fun to viewers.

Recently, Bin's muscle-flexing during an official interview sparked widespread imitation across the LOL community. The incident began when, during an LOL official interview, the host suddenly asked Bin if he had been working out lately, since photos comparing GALA and Bin's muscles were trending in LPL, and many overseas viewers and hosts knew about it. Bin directly showed his muscles in the interview, humbly stating that he had only trained for about a month and would improve further. These muscle-showcase photos were posted by LPL officials on LOL's official blog, and the organizers also called out many pro players, urging them to join the muscle challenge.

Among LOL pro players, G2 is the most playful, so after the official post, G2 players immediately posted their physique photos. Many viewers, seeing G2's antics, joked that G2 players' bodies weren't as good as Bin's. Of course, many LOL hosts also participated, with LCK beauty host Ji-seon's muscle photo receiving widespread praise. Many LOL viewers joked that Ji-seon was the ultimate winner of this muscle challenge, as no one's muscle pics looked better than hers so far.

Kiin responds to Bin's arrogant remarks.

As LOL's biggest traffic draw, Bin not only caused a buzz by showing muscles in interviews, but his various post-finals comments also brought huge traffic to LOL officials. Thus, many LOL hosts asked BFX and GEN players about their views on Bin's arrogant statements. And BFX teamDiableand GEN player Kiin's interview responses didn't indulge Bin at all; indeed, GEN top-laner Kiin's reply left many LPL viewers feeling helpless.

BFX bottom lane ADDiablestated that he hadn't over-studied BLG, and BFX's biggest opponent in the Pioneer Tournament is GEN; BFX must defeat GEN to win the championship. Finally, Diable expressed confidence in helping the team beat BLG through bottom lane matchups. I personally really look forward to the matchup between VIPER and Diable. Based on pre-match stats provided by LOL officials, Diable is truly the team's core, with every stat stronger than VIPER's. (Of course, better AD stats also mean the team is in greater danger, since Uzi never won a world championship even with a "four-protect-one" strategy.)

In the interviews, Kiin's response was the most interesting. Kiin said that Bin is a player without distinctive match characteristics; he has faced Bin many times, and Bin's play never impressed or amazed him. Kiin also joked that he has never lost to Bin in a BO5. It must be said Kiin's嘲讽 skill is truly high, but Bin really can't counter Kiin's words, since Bin has only met GEN twice, and both times GEN won easily.

Conclusion

This year's version feels very suited to Bin, since Bin complained about lane swaps in past years. Now lane swaps require notification, so Bin can fully display his lane dominance during matches. Do you think Bin can win the Pioneer Tournament this year? BLG's five players should be the strongest in LPL; if even BLG's lineup can't win, then I feel LPL will struggle again at Worlds this year.
