Thus, after many days of intense competition, T1 has officially become the new king of the League of Legends world. Witnessing Faker and his teammates ascend to the throne, it can be said that this is truly a well-deserved achievement for T1. From being a disappointment in the LCK Summer 2023 group stage to champions, T1 has created a glorious journey, a “Golden Road” in their own way to claim victory at the biggest tournament in the League of Legends scene in 2023.
Of course, with one team winning, there must be a team losing, and Weibo Gaming is the final “victim” in T1’s championship journey. Notably, it was the way the LPL representative lost in the final match that stands out. They were completely overwhelmed, and the most anticipated name – TheShy, unfortunately, became the biggest disappointment. He even allowed Zeus to replicate Flame’s achievement from years past by being over 100 CS behind in each game before the matches concluded.
The disappointing performance from TheShy led VCS viewers to compare him to… Teacher Ba. Perhaps, those who are long-time fans of the male streamer remember that Teacher Ba used to frequently play Top Lane every time he streamed. Notably, the plays from the male streamer were often quite “blinded”, with Nasus being the most typical example. Therefore, whenever TheShy or Teacher Ba had “fail” plays, the nickname “TheShy Sa Đéc” would be mentioned (because Teacher Ba’s hometown is in Sa Đéc, Đồng Tháp). And in the match against T1 just recently, TheShy was the worst performer on WBG’s side.
T1 has rightfully claimed the championship, and that is undeniable. However, it is clear that TheShy and his teammates also had a performance that was not particularly impressive. They not only lost in terms of skill but also in spirit and composure against T1. Who would have thought that WBG, having defeated the mighty BLG, would completely “lay bare” against the LCK representative in such an overwhelming manner.
