Preface: The S16 season has officially begun, and I believe most players have been paying attention to the recent matches. The LPL playoffs are very intense. After the first round, the matches caused a lot of discussion among netizens. Surprisingly, all results were upsets, with both TES and JDG falling into the loser's bracket. WE easily crushed the world championship seed team. Support player Erha became a trending topic, achieving three consecutive MVPs in three games, proving his strength with his performance. After the match, industry insiders publicly revealed that Erha said WE feels like home, and the owner of WBG changed his account name to "Stone doesn't want to drive anymore."

Feels like home here, treating me like a brother.

I believe most players are quite familiar with WE. As an old strong team in the LPL, their overall popularity and momentum have declined rapidly in recent years, with performance dropping sharply, even becoming a bottom-tier team in the league. This season, WE suddenly awakened. After a losing streak in the second stage, they skyrocketed to become a top team in the LPL. Their ranking in the third stage is also very high. In the recent playoffs, they easily crushed the seed team JDG, basically giving them no chance in several games.

In the first game, just five minutes in, a fierce team fight broke out in the river. WE had clear roles, not only achieving a 0-for-2 trade but also securing the dragon. At nine minutes, after killing the out-of-position Jarvan in the top lane, they smoothly took the Rift Herald. The entire game pace was completely under WE's control. At 18 minutes, a river team fight resulted in a 0-for-4 for WE, directly securing the victory. The first game ended after 30 minutes without much drama, and Erha's Bard earned MVP.

In the second game, the early exchanges were still intense. At the critical 17-minute mark, WE was out of sync in a team fight. JDG counter-attacked with a 0-for-3, gradually establishing an advantage. However, at 29 minutes, Gala was instantly killed in a team fight. WE seized the opportunity, took the Baron, and then pushed back to complete a comeback. Erha's Neeko again earned MVP.

After JDG changed their starting jungler, they won one game, but in the fourth game, they couldn't withstand the pressure. Just two minutes into the game, Monki's Wukong executed a perfect tower dive to kill JDG's bot lane duo, and then it became a personal show. At 23 minutes, WE made a serious mistake. JDG revived and got a 1-for-4 trade, then took the Baron. Fortunately, WE's early advantage was large enough, and the game dragged on until 37 minutes before ending. WE narrowly defeated JDG 3-1. Similarly, the MVP of this game was again Erha's Tahm Kench.

After the match, industry insiders publicly revealed Erha's previous response: "I feel at home in WE. We do everything together, including eating, and they treat me like a brother." The implication is that there are deep conflicts in WBG, with everyone acting independently. After the match, netizens noticed that WBG's owner, Stone Driving, changed his ID to "Stone Doesn't Want to Drive Anymore." Of course, some say it's related to the PUBG division, but I think it might also have something to do with the League of Legends division. After all, letting go of such an excellent support player is indeed a poor move. Next, WE's opponent is BLG. Can they create a miracle in the second stage?

In my opinion,

No one expected the first round of playoffs to turn out like this, with all results being upsets—the lower seeds defeating the higher seeds. Many even joked about it, saying that WE's old teammate Elk, the king, is ready to transfer back home. Perhaps the individual players on WE are not the strongest, but as a team, they have created a special chemistry. Could they really have a chance to compete for a World Championship spot this year?

What do you, the audience, think about this matter?
