During the recent transfer season, the drama surrounding TheShy’s status with Weibo Gaming (WBG) attracted significant attention. After much speculation, TheShy and WBG have officially parted ways after several seasons together. Accordingly, WBG will recruit Zdz to fill TheShy’s position. Meanwhile, the former 2018 World Champion has chosen to take a temporary break and will seek to return to competitive play in the LPL Summer 2024.
Essentially, WBG’s two new players, Zdz and Xiaohao, have played together for quite some time under Anyone’s Legends. Therefore, many fans are hopeful that the synergy of this duo will aid WBG in controlling the top lane. However, based on the latest information regarding WBG, fans of the team are likely to be disappointed.
Specifically, in the latest broadcast, RNG’s coach Letme revealed that the WBG team is experiencing a rapid decline. This may stem from WBG’s continuous cancellations of practice schedules with RNG and several other teams. This has made RNG’s new coach extremely frustrated regarding WBG’s professionalism.
“You know, WBG has shown an alarming decline since TheShy left. They haven’t even been willing to practice, continuously canceling scrims with us (RNG), it’s such a waste of time. I’ve also heard that many other teams have had their schedules canceled by WBG as well. So, fans of WBG, don’t hold out hope for them to achieve good results,” Coach Letme expressed with frustration.
With TheShy’s departure, WBG has suffered significant losses both in terms of performance and fan support. If Coach Letme’s statements are true, WBG is preparing for the new season in a very poor manner. The cancellation of scrims by WBG will create a negative impression with other teams in the LPL, making it extremely difficult to schedule practice matches in the future.
This could even lead them to pay a heavy price and face the risk of putting themselves in a difficult position compared to other teams. This is a very bad signal for WBG, and it could even indicate a “disappointing season” in the future.
