Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.
In the LPL semi-finals in the lower bracket competition that ended not long ago, IG completed the sweep of WE with a score of 3-0, and finally advanced to the lower bracket finals, where it will compete with BLG for the last MSI seat.
WE is also honored despite defeat and has won the respect of the audience.
The miracle did not last, and the WE journey came to an end
WE has done the impossible this year, with the league's near-base salary team configuration, from the second stage of the group stage promotion all the way to the semi-finals, in the process continue to bring new surprises to the audience, and even once made the audience feel that this team has a chance to challenge for the MSI seat.
However, today's game can be regarded as dashing the hopes of WE's boys and fans, IG's state in this round has far exceeded WE's expectations, WE's previous consecutive defeats against strong opponents of the Nosuke combination was completely blown up by IG, there were a lot of mistakes, and it was extremely easy to get on the head.
It can be said that the mistake that affected the whole battle was that WE's double punishment in the first game failed to win the big dragon and was robbed by IG, and after this wave ended, IG won the first game, and then WE played more and more urgently, and made many radical and impulsive decision-making choices, so that they were directly defeated in the face of IG's defensive counterattack.
In the end, WE's journey to stage 2 came to an end, which must have been a shame for the WE boys, but from the spectator's point of view, WE's ability to advance to the semi-finals was already a huge success, and the young players always had to go through a few failures to grow.
The deserter is also a hero, and Cube is respected
After the end of the game, there was such a small story, Cube players posted a Weibo, talking about their mental journey, bluntly said that it is a pity that they have not been able to go further here, originally the WE team is a team without pressure, because they have nothing to lose, they can let go and play.
edit
But there may have been some changes in mentality after entering the final four, which may be the main reason for the successive collapses of WE.
There is also the fact that WE's Nosuke was out of EDG before, and in the face of EDG's champion Nosuke, there may be an idea of wanting to prove himself, and too much of it leads to poor performance.
In the comment area below Cube's Weibo, the sadness of the previous teammates also directly came to a very real sharp comment: deserters should recognize themselves. As a result, Shanks directly posted a wave of sadness: He has long become the pillar of Xi'an, what about you?
Then SMLZ commented below - deserters are also heroes, recognized by the audience.
Cube can be said to have returned to the professional arena in the name of a deserter, helping WE create miracles through hard work, and his personal state has also been greatly improved.
WE is full of recklessness, and the operation of the next stage is improved
This comment of sadness has also caused a certain amount of controversy, to put it simply, sadness, Shanks and Cube are old teammates, often scolding each other on Weibo, this wave of sadness is obviously also a joke, and Shanks directly bombarded a wave of sadness, Shanks often did this before, but it made sadness look more like a clown.
On the WE side, after a magical journey in Stage 2, the players will have a rare holiday to rest and then continue to prepare for Stage 3.
Personally, I think the recklessness of the WE team is enough, and the next stage will focus on strengthening the team's operation and defensive capabilities, and it needs to be strengthened in terms of reading the game, and it has been proved that the players' operational ability is sufficient, that is, there are many times when the judgment of the situation is biased, and there will be some risky moves, which need to be adjusted.
There are many dark horse teams in the history of LPL, it is difficult to become a dark horse, and it is even more difficult to grow from a dark horse to a mature strong team.
