SofM Critiques Both LPL Teams Hard
The first semifinal of the 2024 World Championship was actually not as intense and exciting as many fans had hoped. All 3 matches followed the same formula: Weibo Gaming executed their draft and early game well, only to make some puzzling mistakes during crucial stages, allowing Bilibili Gaming to turn the tide and ultimately secure victory. It can be said that BLG did not have to exert their full capabilities in this match.
BLG secured their spot in the 2024 World Championship finals after an easy victory over WBG.
Therefore, while co-streaming the match, SofM did not hold back in critiquing both teams harshly, especially since WBG was where he spent his last year in the LPL. In game 3, after WBG had to “throw in the towel,” SofM candidly stated: “Both teams play like this, there’s basically no need for a draft. WBG has a better lineup but they just operate in a weird way.”
SofM doesn’t hold back in critiquing both LPL teams.
From game 2, SofM expressed confusion at BLG’s continuous use of a Mage composition in 2 games, while WBG had a superior lineup but couldn’t figure out how to play effectively, even though they sometimes dominated fights.
Fans Also Concerned for LPL Teams
The performance of both LPL teams left their fans worried. Right after the scoring segment on the HUPU channel, BLG’s player ON was the lowest-rated in this lineup. In the recent match, it was clear that ON did not perform well. In game 3, ON’s puzzling use of Teleport set the stage for WBG to regain momentum. Some fans bluntly stated: “ON can’t perform this poorly against T1 or Gen.G; just one mistake like in this match, and they will obliterate your team.”
Both BLG and WBG had many issues in today’s match.
Fans are also worried about BLG.
– “Chinese fans are truly ashamed of ON”
– “ON can’t be this bad against T1 or Gen.G; they will destroy your team if you play like today”
– “Chinese fans must be furious with Tarzan and Breath”
BLG has made it to the finals, and they will have to wait for their opponent from the other semifinal. However, it’s clear that BLG has many issues to address, and if not fixed, both Gen.G and T1 could make them “regret it,” especially since these two teams are clearly much stronger than WBG.
