On the afternoon of January 13th (Vietnam time), Weibo Gaming will make their LPL debut since rebranding from the former Suning. Not only that, but this is also the first time LPL fans will witness two of their “Five Gods” competing together: TheShy and SofM. Therefore, a match that was already hot due to Team WE being one of the “Three Sovereigns” will be even more exciting. In particular, League of Legends fans around the world will want to see how TheShy and SofM can coordinate with each other.
Putting aside the discussions about the performance of both TheShy and SofM after a disappointing season, recently, TheShy was seen playing Viktor… top while ranking. This is a truly bold choice but one that is very much in line with TheShy’s style – known as someone who can play any champion in the top lane.
Not only did he “dance around” and solo kill Fiora – a very strong laner right under the opponent’s turret, according to the person who posted TheShy’s clip, he asserted on his stream that he was only using 50% of his power. This indicates that he has not yet reached his maximum ping, and in the near future, WBG will certainly need to help TheShy unlock the “monster” that has been dormant since Summer 2019 to help the “Top God” regain his peak form.
If WBG can help TheShy reach maximum ping as he did when he led Invictus Gaming to victory at the 2018 Worlds, then they will have completed one of their main tasks to achieve success in the new season. The remaining question will be answered in today’s match against WE: Can TheShy effectively coordinate with SofM, or will WBG follow the same path of past failures as SN?
