WBG stars under scrutiny for their playing attitude despite recent victory against Team WE.
As of now, the LPL Spring 2023 region, though not as captivating as before, still garners attention as the group stage concludes. One of the teams considered the 'Galaxy Belt' of LPL - Weibo Gaming has secured a spot in the playoffs despite their challenging journey. Recently, they defeated Team WE to solidify their top 4 position.
However, from the WE match onwards, another issue has been uncovered by WBG fans, much to their displeasure. Specifically, prior to the WE match, due to an away game, WBG travelled to Tay An. However, instead of staying in a hotel and resting for the crucial match, many were seen at an internet cafe. Several fans surrounded the players, requesting autographs. The WBG stars enthusiastically interacted with the fans, although according to multiple sources, it was already very late at the time.
Various opinions have surfaced regarding the incident. Initially, some fans blamed the WBG management for putting the players in such inadequate conditions for training, like the internet cafe. However, later information revealed that the WBG players might have visited the internet cafe to engage with the audience. The schedule details were accidentally leaked by a team member, prompting many fans to eagerly await.
Some opinions also acknowledge the hypothesis that WBG members were 'indulging in leisure rather than training and resting,' making more sense. After all, WBG is one of the wealthiest conglomerates in LPL, so arranging hotels for the players should not have been an issue. Moreover, if they didn't want to, the players could have easily refused, and surely the fans would have understood.
In reality, WBG did manage to secure a 2-1 victory over WE, but it's evident that the players' conduct left fans dissatisfied. Moreover, WE is merely a weak team, and WBG's playoff journey is turning out to be arduous. Without a serious approach to the game, WBG risks losing another season despite their hefty investments, making them one of the biggest spenders in the League of Legends transfer market in the past year.
