The LOL Global Pioneer Tournament is about to begin. Both LPL teams have already reached Brazil and are adapting to the time zone to prepare. The opening match pits the LPL first seed against the LCK second seed. BFX top laner Clear recently shared in an interview: Among the participating teams, my strongest desire was to compete against BLG, and indeed we are facing them. While BLG is a formidable team, we are here to win.

BFX team members are quite confident. The strength of this dark horse team should not be underestimated—they defeated DK and overturned T1. BLG must not be complacent. If they play steadily, BLG has a high chance of winning. The concern is that Bin might underestimate the opponent like last year against 100T. BLG's discipline is somewhat lacking; if they underestimate their opponent, there is a real risk of failure. Therefore, for the first match, Coach Dani really needs to urge the players to stay focused.

Kiin responds to Bin's comments in an interview.

When BLG won the first stage championship, Bin stated: "In this Pioneer Tournament, my biggest personal rival is Kiin. If I meet him this time, I will crush him." Kiin, who was provoked, recently responded to Bin's remarks before departing for Brazil in a media interview, saying: "I don't have any particular thoughts about it. Bin probably just wants to create some storylines."

Kiin did not take Bin's words as a provocation. He only hopes that both teams can have an interesting match. As one of the most mild-mannered players in LCK, Kiin has always been calm and composed in his speech. This response lacks intense rivalry. If these two want to face each other, they both need to reach the semifinals first, as they are in different groups and won't meet before the knockout stage. Hopefully, they can fulfill that wish.

Uzi Cup attracts over 1000 applicants.

The Uzi Cup, organized by Uzi in collaboration with a streaming platform and official organizers, is about to enter the public selection phase. According to Uzi's live stream reveal, over 200 teams have registered—meaning more than 1000 players have signed up. However, due to rule restrictions, only 64 teams can participate in the selection. Thus, more than 40 teams will not qualify. Additionally, some teams do not need to play in the preliminary rounds.

Teams bypassing the preliminaries are mostly former professionals or streamer teams. Veteran players like Ning and AJ have registered. Ning's team still lacks a top laner; they originally wanted to invite TheShy, but TheShy declined. Honestly, if Uzi and TheShy competed together, the hype would be huge. Probably TheShy is worried about poor performance and the resulting intense舆论 pressure, which is why he chose not to participate.

Xiao Yu was rumored after breakup.

The incident of Xiao Yu and Rookie's breakup continues to unfold. Current online舆论 mostly criticize Rookie, but some extreme fans, in defending the player, are digging up negative stories about Xiao Yu. Before dating Rookie, Xiao Yu had a boyfriend; they even appeared on a romance show. Later, the boyfriend became ill and they parted peacefully. About three months later, Xiao Yu started dating Rookie. Some people have seized this to exaggerate.

Some spread rumors that Xiao Yu "abandoned her sick, incapacitated ex-boyfriend and immediately moved on to Rookie," but that is not true. Xiao Yu's ex-boyfriend chose to break up to avoid burdening her. The claim of being incapacitated is completely false. Between 2018 and 2022, the ex-boyfriend posted many photos of dining with friends and traveling. Unfortunately, he passed away in May 2022.

Conclusion:

In his illness diary, Xiao Yu's ex-boyfriend wrote that they separated peacefully. When he first became sick, Xiao Yu cared for him. The ex-boyfriend's brother also posted thanking her. It's baffling how fans, in defending Rookie, started excavating Xiao Yu's past relationships and even exaggeratedly spread malicious rumors—truly absurd.

So, do you think Bin can defeat Kiin?
