The “God of War” LPL, V5 could no longer keep their good form when facing the big players WBG and JDG.
During a long time in the LPL summer 2022, V5 became the most “hot” name in the Chinese media. The team continues to transform stronger, surpassing many big players such as RNG, EDG, TES, etc. to become the No. 1 candidate for the domestic throne.
Since the opening day of the Summer Split, V5 has consistently won regardless of the lineup used. Then, they are considered as the “God of War” of the LPL Summer 2022.
However, the series of 9 unbeaten matches from V5 soon fell to WBG. SofM and the members all have a fluctuating performance. However, in the end, they defeated the “God of War” LPL. And yet, after that, Karsa and the team continued to lose to JDG 2-0.
Then, according to Game Anchor Network, V5 has a critical weakness in the top lane. Specifically, on the day of meeting WBG or JDG, Rich was too weak. First, he is clearly difficult to compare with TheShy, the famous superstar who won the 2018 World Championship. Even the Jax card in the hand of the WBG player makes Rich obsessed.
Until clashing with 369, this name is not average. He played so well and didn’t let Rich have any chance to perform. According to Game Anchor Network, after losing to TheShy, Rich’s mentality had problems. And he kept sneaking in front of 369 when V5 faced JDG. Even, according to the Chinese news site, if the previous RNG knew this weakness, they would not have fallen before V5.
In addition, V5’s bot pair is also not good. Game Anchor Network shared that Photic was immature, unable to take advantage of the opportunity to “snow ball” the opponent. In return, if it was JackeyLove, JDG, WBG would have had a chance to win. And after all, V5 has revealed a point of instability. If they do not improve urgently, they will hardly dream of winning the LPL Summer 2022.
