Preface: The S16 season has officially kicked off, with the majority of fans paying close attention to the recent competitions. The MSI games have been intense, and unsurprisingly, T1 cruised into the main stage to take on BLG. The most heated rivalry has been in the top lane, where Bin, after improving his appearance, has become more consistent and repeatedly called out Doran. After officially advancing, Doran publicly responded: "I saw Bin say in an interview that he wants to teach LCK a lesson—I need to help him fix that attitude." Now, I'm really looking forward to the clash between BLG and T1.

Doran responds to Bin's "teach LCK" remark

Most fans are quite familiar with T1, the top-tier LCK powerhouse. In recent years, their performance has been outstanding; despite constant roster changes, they've won multiple World Championships, and even their familiar friend Doran earned his own championship skin. After the start of this MSI, many had doubts about the play-in stage, which felt like a T1 solo show, even featuring a double-elimination BO5 format. However, these matches also showcased T1's strength—they swept all opponents 3-0 without dropping a game.

With the matchups set, Bin's interviews have become a hot topic among netizens. Earlier, he publicly stated that T1's play-in performance was mediocre and that if they met, his team wouldn't give them any chance. He also criticized Doran, saying, "Ever since my debut, whenever I've faced him, I've always had the advantage. I knew he might not perform well at MSI, but I didn't expect him to play this poorly. Watching his play-in games, I feel like I can easily beat him." Honestly, Bin's interviews are getting hard to watch—if they lose the first round, the backlash would be unimaginable.

After securing his spot in the main event, Doran responded to Bin's string of comments with a single line: "I saw Bin say in an interview that he wants to teach LCK a lesson—I'm going to help him fix that bad attitude." The tension instantly maxed out, and the back-and-forth interviews have hyped the match to unprecedented levels. The outcome is no longer just about the fans of both sides but about the honor of two major regions. Whichever team loses will face a storm of criticism. Honestly, Doran's most powerful rebuttal would have been "I'll beat you with my own championship skin," but he didn't say that.

The full schedule has been released: on the 3rd at 12:00, HLE, as the LCK's first seed, will kick off the main event. The LPL's opening match is TES vs. G2, while the highly anticipated clash between BLG and T1 will take place on the 4th. Judging solely from play-in performances, BLG might have a real shot at the title—Doran's play hasn't been as stable as expected. Let's hope Bin's gameplay is as strong as his interviews. If they secure a first win, the subsequent matches should be easier, but recent leaks suggest BLG's condition isn't great, with players suffering from significant injuries.

Zaijian thinks

I didn't expect Doran to respond so strongly—"I need to fix Bin's bad attitude." Indeed, Bin's interviews have become increasingly arrogant lately, likely due to his two recent LPL titles and the First Stand Championship win. Many netizens are saying, "Bin dares to say it, but we dare not watch or listen." I hope Bin doesn't let down so many LPL fans. If he loses, I wonder if he'll disable comments?

What do you, the viewers, think about this?
