WBG lost to EDG in the 2nd match of LPL Summer 2022 and they had to receive criticism from the League of Legends community.
In the second match of LPL Summer 2022, Weibo Gaming lost to EDward Gaming admirably. On a day when WBG brought out weird picks and bans like Anivia’s Top Lane for TheShy in game 2 as an example, WBG’s defeat seemed predictable. In addition, other positions of WBG such as SofM, Huanfeng, and Angel also did not play really well. As in game 1, even when WBG had the advantage, the players were extremely sporadic and as a result were destroyed by EDG at the end of the game. As for game 2, it was simply overwhelming from start to finish.
Across social media forums, from Reddit to Weibo, everywhere are criticisms of the League of Legends community for WBG’s soulless, “strong, strong” gameplay. At the same time, many viewers expressed confusion about TheShy’s Anivia pick. Granted, the champion pool needs to be expanded, but Anivia has never proved to be an effective champion in the recent meta. Even, the community has been hoping Riot will do a really strong rework to bring Ice Bird back to Summoner’s Rift. However, TheShy recklessly used it in the decisive game and failed.
In addition, the fact that SofM, Angel and especially the Huanfeng – ON bot pair also received many criticisms. If in game 1, Draven of “Teacher Huan” still had some effect, then in game 2, he couldn’t show much even though Draven was an AD general in the “heavy” form of League of Legends. Not to mention that Viper is too good, but Huanfeng’s useless Draven also “contributes” to making WBG lose faster.
However, this is only the second match of Summer 2022 and the road ahead is still very long. But surely, the WBG members must quickly look back on the defeat and absolutely limit losses like this, if they really think about the title this season.
