The LPL Spring 2022 is just days away from officially kicking off, and at this point, teams have finalized their rosters for the new season. However, there are still a few teams completing their coaching staff, including one of the most watched teams in the upcoming LPL Spring 2022: Weibo Gaming. The reason is that this team is the only one with 2 players hailed as “gods” by LPL fans: TheShy and SofM.
Recently, WBG announced the next name to join the team, but in the role of assistant coach. And it’s none other than the 2015 World Championship champion, former SKT T1 star Easyhoon. In fact, Faker’s former teammate is not a stranger to WBG fans, dating back to when the team was called Suning. Easyhoon was the former assistant coach of SN from the end of the 2018 season until the end of the 2019 season. After he left, the “LPL Lions” welcomed SofM as their new jungler. Although he was a former member of SN, this Spring 2022 will be Easyhoon’s first opportunity to work alongside SofM.
Thus, the upcoming WBG roster can be seen as incredibly strong, from the coaching staff to the players. Easyhoon’s role will include supporting head coaches Maizijian and Eimy in training as well as creating connections among the players. In particular, it is very likely that Easyhoon will also have to help foster the connection between the “2 gods of LPL”—TheShy and SofM.
Known as a very talented yet gentle player, Easyhoon will soon face off against talented, charismatic, and highly renowned players in the LPL and the global League of Legends scene. But with new students, it’s certain that Easyhoon’s goal, along with WBG, is nothing less than championships, both domestically and internationally, especially the prestigious World Championship title.
