BLG's post, on the other hand, welcomed Bin:
“We are pleased to announce that top laner Chen Ze-bin (id: Bin) has officially joined BLG as our top laner for the new season.
In October 2020, Bin and his former team SN Esports Club got the runner-up of 2020 Worlds Finals, and in the same year, he got the title of 2020 Best Top Laner and Best Rookie.
