The main match of the first week of the LPL Spring 2022 competition between Weibo Gaming and Bilibili Gaming attracted great attention from the worldwide LoL community. However, the absence of Uzi made many fans somewhat “disappointed” and thought that an easy victory would be for TheShy – SofM and his teammates. However, BLG showed that they did not invest heavily to leave empty-handed for another season.
The main match of the LPL in particular and the LoL village in general: Weibo Gaming vs Bilibili Gaming
Game 1 took place not beyond the audience’s expectations when TheShy used the “200-year” general Gwen and turned on the “Top God” mode that helped him bring Invictus Gaming to the throne in Incheon. WBG played almost without a scratch and “Shy ca”‘s head wraps caused BLG players to mess up the lineup. WBG won game 1 perfectly and took the lead.

However, BLG doesn’t have Uzi, they have Fofo, Doggo and especially jungler Weiwei. In a day of peak performance, this guy overshadowed “Vietnamese forest god” SofM. At the same time, the “200-year” general Gwen was in the hands of Breathe this time, making TheShy’s “weird” Viktor to go to the top of TheShy unable to be effective. WBG couldn’t finish Gwen early while the rest of BLG was strong enough to completely overwhelm and equalize the game.

Entering game 3, the fact that BLG had Ziggs helped them clear WBG’s outer turret in an instant. But on the day of not being at their best, SofM let Weiwei take the first Baron, making WBG not regain the advantage. Huanfeng didn’t have a chance to shoot even though he was clearly much stronger than Doggo and Ziggs. The final fight after WBG won the 2nd Baron, TheShy and ON took 4. But even with Angel’s help, it was all too late.

The defeat against BLG was not necessarily a disaster, but it also exposed many of WBG’s problems, especially in game 3. Possessing a strong teamfight, but WBG was forced to follow the opponent’s playstyle. Not to mention, some positions of WBG in this match are not really max ping like Angel, SofM…
But anyway, this is only WBG’s first loss and thanks to this loss, WBG will have the opportunity to rebuild the squad, ready for bigger challenges in the future like EDward Gaming or Royal Never Give Up. Their mainstays need to get back to their top form soon to be able to make this team truly a contender for titles.
