Preface: The S15 season has officially started, and most players have been paying close attention to the recent clashes. Across all major regions, the competition has been fierce. The LPL playoffs are approaching their end, with three teams breaking through: NIP, EDG, and the peak group WBG team. Although WBG swept UP 3-0 in the match, they still faced widespread online mockery, especially their AD player Light. Many netizens criticized him for being overly confident against one of the league's bottom-three teams, wondering how he maintained such a mindset. Gangbi Yunna indeed proved to be incredibly tanky.

Light confidently initiates team fights over voice chat.

Most players are quite familiar with WBG, a veteran team in the LPL region. Over the years, WBG has undergone numerous adjustments, including bringing in the top laner Theshy, marking their peak period. Their fanbase grew significantly, and their viewership numbers topped the league. This season, WBG's changes were not drastic, but their overall performance fluctuated greatly. Early on, many saw them as a World Championship contender, but so far, they have only secured a playoff spot, and their current form makes it difficult to compete for the S15 title.

After WBG's 3-0 sweep over UP, many expected cheers online, but most players responded with sarcasm, mainly targeting AD player Light. His performance this season has been very poor, ranking among the bottom ADs in the LPL. In the first game, within just one minute, Lee Sin's failed flash play in the brush gave the enemy first blood. Mid-game, WBG's mid and support perfectly controlled the map, winning multiple team fights and steadily increasing their lead. The game ended in just 31 minutes, with Xiaohu's Taliyah achieving a 6-0 score and earning MVP.

In the second game’s early phase, UP aggressively targeted the top lane, creating a fast-paced rhythm. Within minutes, multiple kills broke out. At the 12-minute dragon fight, UP boldly contested and secured the dragon while trading zero for two kills. It seemed UP could even equalize the series, but at 30 minutes, UP’s ultimate was unexpectedly interrupted, and WBG's timely support turned the fight around, resulting in a one-for-three exchange and a sudden momentum shift. WBG secured match point at 37 minutes. The final game was a clean sweep, with WBG's top and jungle opening the map early. Light’s Yunna dealt massive damage in team fights. Despite losing Urgot, it was inconsequential. WBG swept UP 3-0 to advance to the playoffs.

After this match, AD player Light once again became the focus of online jokes due to his confident voice chat remarks post-game. He even joked that with this tanky build on Yunna, opponents simply couldn't kill him. The main discussion point is that he dominated weaker teams but underperformed against stronger ones. In a previous interview, he openly admitted he might not reach 700 games played. It’s clear he’s now enjoying the game and no longer cares about online ridicule. This season could very well be his last in professional play.

Farewell thoughts

Who would have thought that winning 3-0 would still draw so much online mockery? It only shows how deep the frustration among WBG fans runs. Indeed, this roster should have achieved better results this season, but their overall performance fell just short. The focus now shifts to the upcoming knockout stage, where their opponents will likely be a top-four team, probably AL or BLG. It will probably be tough for them to get past the first round.

What do you all think about this situation, dear viewers?
