It seems Wayward from TES is highly concerned about TheShy, prompting the entire team to explore every possible way to limit the Top Lane player on WBG's side.
As the fourth week of LPL Summer 2022 comes to a close, the standings become increasingly unpredictable. With teams at the top separated by only 1-2 points, each direct confrontation holds significant importance. WBG's loss to TES yesterday is an example that pushed SofM and teammates out of the race towards the top 4 strongest teams.
Immediately after the mentioned match, TheShy faced criticism for several poor plays in the deciding game. Even in the post-match interview, Top Esports' player Knight acknowledged that exploiting TheShy's position would yield maximum effectiveness in defeating WBG.
Inquiry: How do you feel about today's match? It's already a new day.
TES Knight: I feel quite great to end a long day with a victory.
Inquiry: Did any team member feel uncomfortable or experience pressure?
TES Knight: Wayward mentioned being quite concerned about facing TheShy. We also recognized that to defeat WBG, the most effective strategy is to exploit TheShy's position, so the entire team supported Wayward to the fullest.
Certainly, looking back at the loss to TES, we can see that TheShy received meticulous attention, especially in game 3. Using Ornn, TheShy is the key to victory; as he levels up and crafts more items for teammates, WBG's chances of winning increase. However, TheShy made some critically flawed plays mid-game, getting taken down too early and putting WBG at a significant disadvantage.
As a result, as we have seen, WBG had no way to hinder TES's rapid power escalation, leading to a regrettable defeat. With this loss, WBG holds a record of 4 wins - 3 losses, standing in 7th place on the leaderboard. Combined with direct competitors like LNG, RNG, and EDG securing victories this week, WBG's chances of breaking into the top 4 strongest teams become increasingly distant.
