The ranking system in Korea for League of Legends is considered the toughest in the world, and there are good reasons for that. Gathering all the top talents of Eastern League of Legends, the competition in every ranked match in Korea is extremely fierce.
Even if you are Faker or Dopa, you can’t avoid being outplayed by your opponents. Recently, a case of a “collective beatdown” was recorded, involving the unfortunate trio of teammates: Dia1, Levi, and TheShy.
Upon realizing he was on the same team as TheShy, Dia1 seemed very excited, thinking that “this game will be easy,” especially when TheShy had the first pick and immediately locked in his signature champion Kalista.
But life isn’t always as dreamy as it seems. While TheShy was expected to be the carry for his team, he also became the target that opponents aimed to take down at all costs. In this match, TheShy faced the brunt of a “group gank” from his opponents, ending with a KDA that was no better than his ‘Sa Dec’ counterpart: 1/9/4.
It’s important to note that recently, TheShy has not been trying hard with Kalista in the top lane and has switched to practicing other champions. So, if he seems a bit “rusty”, it’s understandable.
Furthermore, Dia1 also stated that TheShy’s poor performance in the last match was partly due to his own mistakes, as he made a rather careless Teleport that caused TheShy’s Kalista to lose the advantage gained early on in the top lane.
Moreover, even if you are the world’s number one superstar, it is hard to avoid those “blind” matches, so TheShy’s KDA of 1/9/4 is not surprising at all. Only the fans of GAM Esports got a hearty laugh witnessing two stars who dominate the VCS suddenly turn into three comedians.
