Introduction: In the second stage of the LPL regular season, BLG unexpectedly suffered a shocking loss to NIP. In this match, except for mid-laner Left Hand who performed normally in terms of gameplay and stats, the match data of the other four BLG players were completely overshadowed by NIP players. Many LPL viewers believe that BLG lost precisely because the players were overly arrogant. During the post-match interview, BLG coach Dan also revealed the reasons for BLG's loss and further praised NIP's excellent team atmosphere, hoping that BLG could learn from NIP in the future.

Coach Dan Criticizes BLG for Not Knowing How to Sacrifice

Viewers who watched the BLG vs NIP match should have noticed that the heroes BLG selected in the second game were very unconventional: top-laner Jayce, jungler Xin Zhao, mid-laner Akali, and bot-lane consisting of Corki plus Nami. This lineup lacked any strong control or initiation, leading many BLG fans to criticize Coach Dan's drafting as too abstract after the match. During the post-match interview, Coach Dan addressed this issue, stating that BLG players are too focused on carrying themselves, which makes drafting difficult.

Finally, BLG coach also praised NIP players for their spirit of sacrifice. Every NIP match has sacrificial roles and carry positions, which enables NIP to secure victories during matches. Viewers who have watched NIP matches should know that although bot-laner Assum is the team's star player, NIP sometimes still selects champions like Ezreal and Jhin for Assum to play a pressure-resistant role. In contrast, since the start of the second stage, BLG often opts for a 5-carry lineup, resulting in a lack of initiation and frontline presence.

BLG Post-Match Stats Chart Revealed

After BLG lost to NIP, the post-match stats chart was also compiled. Many viewers noticed that BLG players' current form is truly sluggish. From the post-match stats chart, it can be seen that except for BLG mid-laner Left Hand who outperformed NIP's mid-laner, the match data charts of the other four BLG players were completely overshadowed. Particularly, NIP bot-laner Assum comprehensively outperformed BLG's Korean import Viper. Many viewers also don't understand why Viper was a top-tier star player in HLE, but since joining BLG, his performances have become increasingly mediocre?

After BLG lost the match, many viewers criticized Bin, the so-called world's best top-laner, for declining too rapidly. It has been less than two months since the end of the Pioneer Stage, and Bin has already started developing the "O22 series." Of course, many BLG fans believe that Bin's current sluggish form is related to his obsession with "AD-carry top-lane heroes" in ranked games. Many viewers cite TheShy as an example, believing that TheShy's decline was due to his obsession with AD-carry top-lane champions, and Bin is following TheShy's path.

The current LPL is truly a "turmoil of spinning tops." So far, except for WE, every team has experienced being completely shut out by opponents. Many viewers are also curious whether BLG can complete the "Golden Road" this year, as BLG currently exposes too many issues. It feels that apart from Bin who can consistently carry, the other mid and bot-lane players securing many kills still don't make an impact. (Do you think BLG is currently "pretending to be strong" or has BLG truly hit a bottleneck?)
