Introduction: The S16 season has officially kicked off. Most fans have been following the recent competitions closely, and the LPL playoffs are imminent. An official interview video released recently has drawn widespread attention. The coaches of various teams participated; some gave polite remarks, while others spoke from the heart. BLG's coach Daeny was particularly sincere, objectively stating that the team's current theme is "adolescence." He believes the players have improved significantly, now understanding that laning is not everything in League of Legends. On the "Knight's Path," IG faces a do-or-die match against TT, seeking revenge.

Daeny's Critique of BLG's Adolescence

During the recent break, the official league has been very active in running the event. They released interview videos of the head coaches of various teams. The LPL community has mixed opinions about these coaches; some gave very heartfelt and objective assessments, while others just said the usual formalities—perhaps the management exerted some pressure before the interviews. The most objective was BLG's head coach Daeny, who stated that this year's theme for BLG is "adolescence." They have gained some things but also lost some. Although they seem to have grown up, the process is filled with anxiety, and they are not fully mature in the standard sense.

Meanwhile, during the interview, he revealed that when Bin took a break, many players on the team became shaken. However, mid-laner Knight maintained a good mindset and was determined to work with his teammates. The schedule this year has been very tight, and everyone has been busy to the point of dizziness. He expressed gratitude that they could maintain such a competitive state. He also specifically mentioned support player ON, who originally was very fixated on winning lane. But now, he seems to understand the importance of moving with the team and doing things together. As I said earlier, laning is not everything in League of Legends. Indeed, Coach Daeny truly understands BLG.

Next, IG's head coach Sun Dayong discussed the return of top laner TheShy. Shy didn't want to let down his fans. Apart from the game itself, he thinks TheShy is very handsome and comes forward when the team is in crisis, making him a very respectable player. After praising, he also gave a serious and objective assessment of IG's current state: he would only give the team a score of 5 out of 10. The gap between official matches and scrims is quite large; what they practiced in scrims didn't translate into official games. IG still has a lot of room for improvement. Of course, netizens joked that getting a 5-point performance from a 3-point draft is already quite good.

The intense "Knight's Path" is about to begin. There are two matches: EDG vs. NIP and TT vs. IG. The one people are most interested in is the later match featuring IG. As a team from the "Nirvana" group, their popularity is unquestionable. Even caster Huainan specifically analyzed seven possible ways for IG to qualify for the World Championship. However, I feel that IG won't repeat last season's miracle this year. As head coach Sun Dayong said, their current form only deserves a 5-point rating. They didn't even finish first in the Nirvana group, let alone compete with the teams in the "Summit" group.

Zaijian's Opinion

This official coach interview indeed gave fans some inside information. The players of BLG really had thoughts of backing down due to Bin's rest. As a result, Bin's reputation has declined significantly, but his mechanics are still top-tier in the LPL. I hope he doesn't get addicted to plastic surgery. Recently, his offline appearances have started to resemble Yang Yang (a Chinese actor). If this continues, Bin's spending on plastic surgery will likely increase, and the end result for Bin may be turning into "Bin Mei."

What do you, the audience, think about this matter?
