Introduction: The S15 season has ended fully, and it’s believed that the vast majority of players have been paying attention to the recent offseason period. This time, the Demacia Cup left many fans disappointed with BLG. Despite missing their key mid laner Knight, their performance shouldn’t have been like this, as they only made it to the last 16. After the tournament, it was clear several players maintained a positive mindset and weren’t heavily affected. During a video shoot, jungler Xun was even casually playing on his phone, showing little concern. Meanwhile, top laner Bin’s cat avatar image went viral worldwide, and jungler Peanut showed support for BLG, expressing confidence they will appear in every world-class event.

Bin’s cat head emoji has become a sensation

Most players still pay close attention to BLG, a top-tier team in the LPL region. Over the years, they have been a pillar of the LPL, with fans hoping they can achieve great results and help the region reclaim a World Championship title. However, since the S14 season, their performance has declined. That year, they were neck and neck with T1 in the finals, narrowly missing the trophy. But in S15, they only reached the round of 16, failing to even play a best-of-five series on home soil before being eliminated. In this winter transfer period, BLG is once again restructuring their roster, aiming straight for the championship in the new season.

After the Demacia Cup ended, BLG was once again under heavy scrutiny. Many believe the team has serious issues, as just missing mid laner Knight caused a drastic drop in performance. They recorded a disappointing 1-3 score, only winning the opening match. There’s much debate about the future direction of the team. However, official BLG videos show the players’ mentality remains stable and unaffected by the Demacia Cup results. Particularly, jungler Xun was seen playing on his phone during filming and only put it down after teammates reminded him. It seems he really likes his phone — he even instinctively pulled it out during an LPL official interview before.

In recent days, Bin’s cat head emoji has exploded in popularity, especially a high-definition image showing his glowing skin. Truly a top-tier top laner returning from Korea during the offseason, he looks noticeably different after some adjustments. Browsing through BLG’s match report comments, Bin’s official portraits are everywhere. Jungler Peanut also talked about BLG during a stream, stating that the team should perform very well. Viper’s skills are evident, and the other BLG members are longtime teammates. BLG has always been regulars in international tournaments, and they are expected to continue appearing frequently in 2026.

BLG’s team composition is definitely the strongest in the LPL region, but this Demacia Cup performance was hard for fans to accept. Although it was coached by the secondary team’s coach and mid laner, their play had clear issues. Fans hope they can properly adjust over the next few days, as the first stage of the new season is about to begin. Starting strong is critical. It remains to be seen if the combination of Coach Danny and LeftHand can boost the team’s strength. If BLG falls in the new season, it’s uncertain which LPL team could stand up to the LCK then.

Farewell thoughts

Who would have guessed that BLG’s breakout moment came from Bin’s cat head emoji? If it truly comes to a world-class showdown, Bin might become globally famous. Scrolling through Korean forums now, Bin’s name appears frequently, showing his rising recognition. Sometimes being controversial is a form of fame. Hopefully, Bin can seize this chance, as a strong next season could completely turn his career around.
