Bilibili Gaming, one of the most prominent organizations in competitive League of Legends, has signed Wenbo as its new toplaner for the upcoming LPL Split 3. The move sends Bin, a long-tenured fixture of BLG’s roster, to the bench or beyond.

What the roster swap actually means

BLG was founded back in December 2017 after acquiring the I May League of Legends roster. Since then, the organization, backed by Bilibili, one of China’s largest video platforms, has expanded into multiple titles including Overwatch and Valorant. But League of Legends remains the crown jewel.

Split 3 is the third and final split of the annual LPL calendar, making it the final regular-season segment before the postseason push.
