BLG Bin Absent From the Awards

Despite the BLG roster and coaching staff being recognized in the LPL 2026 Split 3 Awards, Chen "Bin" Ze-Bin was notably absent, and there's a reason why. The Chinese top laner spent the majority of the split away to focus on his health, returning to the roster one month later.

Li "Flandre" Xuan-Jun, a consistent presence in the LPL Awards in recent years, was also left out this split. After spending two years with Anyone's Legends, he joined Bilibili Gaming to fill in for Bin during his absence. With Bin now back in the starting lineup, Flandre has returned to a substitute role.

The expert panel for the Regular Season honors consisted of 24 LPL club representatives, including team representatives, captains, and coaches, alongside six official LPL judges, six official LPL commentators, and 16 media representatives. 

You can check out the full voting results on the official Chinese League of Legends page.
