TheShy, following Faker's lead, showcases unity after enduring 7 consecutive rank losses.
In the current period, as professional players rest and some prepare for MSI 2022, the community is greatly interested in climbing ranks. As assessed by many players like Faker, Doinb... this is the time when many 'actors' in the ranks will emerge. These players mostly seek to buff elo for their main accounts without considering how it will affect their teammates. Consequently, many players have opted to limit their ranked matches to avoid impacting their mental state and achievements.
Nevertheless, many players have embarked on the journey of climbing ranks again after the conclusion of Spring 2022. TheShy is a prime example. As known, China is implementing strict policies to combat COVID-19. Therefore, when confined to gaming houses and unable to visit home, TheShy (along with many WBG players) has chosen ranking as a means of relaxation. Not only that, TheShy also diligently livestreams and interacts with fans.
However, it appears that the 'Shy's' rank climb is not progressing smoothly. Just a few days ago, TheShy achieved the 'record'... losing 7 consecutive rank matches. And in subsequent rank matches, TheShy's win/loss ratio hasn't varied significantly. This has truly astonished many viewers. After all, TheShy is a talented player who also performed quite well in Spring 2022.
Given this notably poor rank performance, TheShy is visibly frustrated and subtly agrees with Faker's sentiment, stating that the current Korean rank is flooded with too many 'actors': 'My teammates are truly playing oddly. No matter how hard I try, I can't bring about any change. Meanwhile, when observing the opponents, they always seem strong, undoubtedly stronger than my teammates.'
And TheShy is the next player to echo Faker's sentiment about the Korean rank. With the current situation where all professional players are resting and high-ranked players are less active in climbing, the prevalence of elo boosting affects the overall quality of the Korean rank. However, Riot remains indifferent to the issue, leaving players like TheShy, Doinb, and Faker to express their frustration only through their streaming channels.
