WBG Management Surprisingly Praises Opponents Publicly, Leaving Fans Furious.
Currently, Weibo Gaming stands out as one of the most impressive teams in LPL Spring 2022. SofM and teammates not only secure decisive victories but also deliver a rollercoaster of emotions to the audience, even causing fans to experience heartache. However, WBG can also easily dismantle the reigning world champions, EDward Gaming, on days when the performance of all members reaches its peak.
Contributing significantly to WBG's success to date is TheShy, the newcomer who joined the team in the last transfer period of the 2021 season. Dispelling all doubts, TheShy quickly harmonized with SofM in the top lane, forming the most formidable duo that has forced Flandre and Jiejie, former world champions, to reluctantly 'surrender.'
Despite WBG's impressive achievements and a remarkable unbeaten streak, the team's recent controversy involves their manager, sparking debates within the fan community and the broader LPL audience. The manager praised Royal Never Give Up and player Bin extensively after their victory against LNG Esports, even in a chat group with WBG fans. When some raised concerns about the manager being off-topic, the praise continued without hesitation.
What infuriated WBG fans the most was when the manager revealed that WBG's goal for Spring 2022 is solely to accumulate points for LPL Summer 2022 and secure a spot in Worlds 2022.
If this were a team currently in the lower half of the current Spring standings, such statements might be deemed acceptable. However, the subject here is WBG, a team with an impressive performance, having defeated challenging opponents like FunPlus Phoenix and EDG. The manager's 'self-humiliation' not only lacks humility but also belittles the efforts of the entire WBG team. Some even suggest that if Bin is highly regarded and the goal is to accumulate points, WBG is just bringing TheShy in for fame.
Currently, WBG's management has issued an apology to the team's fans and imposed a temporary social media ban on the manager. However, based on what is known, many fans are concerned that the internal dynamics of WBG may become unstable when players and management no longer share a common direction.
