The LPL issued its heaviest fine ever, with Bin being penalized 150,000 yuan for disrespecting fans, and BLG also suffered consequences.

Greetings to all LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is World Game Hub.

In a recent LPL playoff losers' bracket match, BLG defeated EDG with a 3-0 score, but the most discussed topic afterward was Bin's contentious behavior during the pre-game entrance.

Last night, the LPL authorities took decisive action, imposing a fine and issuing a public criticism against Bin.

Bin disrespects fans, fined 150,000 yuan.

During the player introduction segment for the EDG vs. BLG match, Bin kept a stern face throughout and did not interact with the audience at all, while the other nine players all extended their hands to high-five fans along the player walkway. This unusual behavior immediately sparked intense controversy, with viewers criticizing Bin's conduct as very rude.

This year in the LCK, player Diable was sent down to the second team by his club for skipping a fan meeting, and later he requested a transfer and joined NS.

Therefore, LPL viewers also suggested that the LPL league should penalize such behavior from Bin.

Unexpectedly, the LPL authorities responded swiftly, issuing the highest fine in LPL history—a total of 200,000 yuan, with Bin personally fined 150,000 yuan and BLG club fined 50,000 yuan for failing to fulfill its supervisory duties.

Netizens applauded this decision, saying that players like Bin deserve to be punished by the league for their bad behavior, and that the LPL's current environment is already delicate, so they must not let paying fans who support the teams feel disheartened.

Clear reason for the fine: failure to fulfill interaction obligations.

As for the official explanation of the penalty, the LPL regulations indeed contain a rule stating that players are obligated to interact with the audience during the entrance segment. Bin violated Rule 12.2.2 of the League of Legends Pro League competition rules.

Moreover, some viewers pointed out that when purchasing tickets, the interaction with players from good seats is explicitly stated on the ticketing information. Fans pay a significant amount to attend matches and interact with players, which is something they are entitled to. Bin's behavior essentially slapped the league in the face, so a severe penalty was necessary.

The LPL authorities also stated that they hope Bin and BLG will face this violation seriously, conduct a thorough review, and make corrections. Players, both on and off the field, should strictly adhere to professional conduct standards and maintain a positive image, respecting both the competition and the audience.

After the penalty, Bin and BLG have yet to make any public statements. Typically, following a league announcement, both BLG and Bin should issue a response, admit their mistake, apologize to the fans, and promise not to let such incidents happen again. We can wait for their reply later.

Bin's childish behavior is not the first time.

Setting aside Bin's in-game performance, his immature antics have occurred before. He has clashed with the coaching staff twice, even walking out with his backpack—behavior that is far from typical for a professional player. Additionally, after matches, he has a habit of being stiff when bumping fists with teammates, never bowing or bending over.

Even early in Bin's debut, his personality issues were significant—he was too self-centered, arrogant, and held himself to different standards than his teammates. After playing for so many years, he should have matured, yet he keeps making similar mistakes.

Take this incident for example; from the audience's perspective, it's impossible to understand Bin's reasoning. Why would he refuse to interact with fans? Players don't have grudges against the audience. Personally, I think there are only two possible reasons: either he was simply putting on a pretentious, chuunibyou revenge persona, or he was in a bad mood before the match. As for why he was in a bad mood, maybe he was dissatisfied with the pre-game tactics? But that possibility is also very low.

In conclusion, Bin really needs to reflect on himself. Although professional players are wealthy, a fine of 150,000 yuan is definitely painful. The league's stance is clear: zero tolerance for any disrespect towards fans, with heavy penalties guaranteed.
