On February 24th (Vietnam time), Weibo Gaming overcame LNG Esports to extend their unbeaten streak, temporarily claiming the top spot in the LPL Spring 2022 standings. It was not an easy match for SofM and his teammates. They dominated LNG at times, but there were moments when SofM and the team did not instill confidence in the audience.
Notably, WBG remained committed to their “Dragon Ignore Gaming” style, especially in game 2, causing real concern among fans. After the intense battle with LNG, Weibo was flooded with comments that both encouraged the WBG team and playfully mocked SofM and his teammates.
However, there are also many comments suggesting that WBG, like the former Suning team, has always been unpredictable. When they win, they can achieve a crushing victory, dominating regardless of how strong the opponent is. But when they lose, WBG can suffer a devastating defeat, often leaving the audience wondering how they could have won previously.
Nevertheless, at this moment, WBG has exceeded what fans expected from this team. After undergoing a roster change at the end of the 2021 season and starting the LPL Spring 2022 on a rough note with a loss to Bilibili Gaming in their second match, WBG’s current performance is quite commendable. Not to mention, SofM and TheShy are increasingly coordinating well, and this duo has been voted MVP in several matches after WBG’s victories.
If they can maintain their current performance and form for the long term, the championship of the LPL Spring 2022 is entirely within SofM and his teammates’ reach. In fact, many fans are even dreaming of a grand showdown between China and Korea, featuring T1 and WBG – two teams that remain undefeated in the two largest League of Legends competitions worldwide. If this actually happens, it would be the most anticipated showdown of the first half of 2022.
