The LPL community has dissected 3 main reasons leading to WBG’s defeat against the World Champion 2021 – EDG in the match a few days ago.
Recently, Weibo Gaming had a loss against EDward Gaming. Although, this is only the 2nd match and the first loss of WBG in the LPL Summer 2022, but the LPL community is also extremely worried because of the way the WBG players lost. The whole match was almost a one-way battle of EDG in both games. In particular, players like SofM, Huanfeng, and Angel were criticized and TheShy surprised with the “weird” Top lane pick Anivia.
Recently, the LPL community pointed out 3 critical weaknesses that led to WBG’s defeat in the match against EDG. Accordingly, the weaknesses can be summed up because the WBG is still lacking a true leader since SwordArt left. The LPL community pointed out that, in their handling situations, the WBG players did not have a definitive. Sometimes they want to retreat but keep procrastinating around dangerous areas to be cornered or hit back by the opponent. As for the situations that can be attacked, the WBG members also did not decisively rush to open the fight, making the opportunity pass by regretfully.
Next, the WBG players were also criticized for not being in really good form, especially Angel. If in the match against IG, especially game 3, Angel’s Ahri was really a support for his teammates, then in the match against EDG, he played extremely weakly, even using Orianna or Swain. With the key hero of the teamfights like Orianna, Angel’s inability to cause mutations contributed greatly to the failure of WBG in game 1.
In addition, the WBG players are also said to not have a calm mentality when playing. This is reflected in the fact that Huanfeng often fails to keep his composure even though he uses a heavy AD like Draven. When the team could not keep the advantage, Huanfeng also could not keep a stable mentality to be ready to “carry the team”. Even in game 2, Huanfeng’s Draven had almost no effect, nor did it make it difficult for Ezreal in Viper’s hands.
These are also the inherent weaknesses of WBG since SwordArt left the team and have existed until now. But at the present time, if WBG can’t fix it, they will face many difficulties. You can even lose your spot for the 2022 World Championship if you’re careless.
