Only a short time remains until LPL Summer 2022 officially kicks off. While LPL Spring 2022 was mostly an opportunity for players to get acquainted with new teammates and new playstyles, LPL Summer 2022 will be much more significant. This is because, after LPL Summer 2022, the Worlds 2022 will take place. With the championship at MSI 2022, it is almost certain that LPL will retain its 4 slots for this biggest international tournament in the League of Legends scene. This is also the motivation for teams to strive.
Among the LPL teams, Weibo Gaming is the team that the Vietnamese League of Legends community is very interested in. The main reason is that this team has SofM – the only Vietnamese jungler competing in the highest level of the League of Legends scene in China. Additionally, WBG also has TheShy – the “Top God” of the League of Legends.
However, according to Doinb, WBG remains the most unstable team among the top 6 teams capable of competing for a spot at Worlds 2022 or even the LPL Summer 2022 championship. Specifically, the mid-laner of LNG Esports commented: “WBG is still an extremely unstable team. As you all know, this team is always a challenging name for other teams. But when they are strong, they are indeed very strong, while when they decline, they can also become the weakest team in the tournament.” Furthermore, according to some assessments, SofM will still be the “key” in WBG’s gameplay in the upcoming Summer.
Indeed, WBG’s issues were evident in the recently concluded LPL Spring 2022: consistency. SofM and his teammates had moments that excited fans and made them believe they were the strongest candidates for the LPL Spring 2022 championship. However, when WBG entered a downward spiral, they continuously faced unfavorable results. Even lower-ranked teams could cause difficulties or even defeat WBG.
Doinb’s assessment is not without basis. WBG itself, if it wants to have a chance to compete for the title, especially for a spot at Worlds 2022, must show greater focus and improvement, especially in the crucial stages of the season if they do not want all their efforts to become futile after just a few damaging losses.
