Since the start of the 2023 season, Weibo Gaming (WBG) has always been among the most watched teams by LPL audiences. The reason is that WBG boasts a star-studded roster including TheShy, Xiaohu, Karsa, Crisp… Many fans hope that WBG will achieve great results with such a quality lineup.
However, reality shows that a player’s fame does not guarantee success for WBG. The team was eliminated very early in the LPL Spring 2023 qualifiers, leaving fans disappointed. Even after WBG hired a new coach named Daeny, viewers speculated that TheShy would be pushed straight to the bench in LPL Summer 2023 due to his underwhelming performance last season.
However, in their latest announcements, the possibility of TheShy being benched seems very unlikely. Specifically, WBG announced that they only made one change to the main roster with the addition of player Kenny Chan. He will be the backup jungler for Karsa, and TheShy remains the only top laner for WBG.
This information has made TheShy’s fans in the LPL area extremely happy that he will continue to compete. However, neutral viewers do not highly regard WBG’s transfer decision. TheShy has indeed shown a serious decline in performance, so WBG’s complete trust in him may not be wise.
Nevertheless, this is also a good opportunity for TheShy to regain the trust of fans after a disappointing season. If he continues to perform poorly like in LPL Spring 2023, it will be extremely difficult for WBG to achieve good results and participate in the World Championship.
