When the second stage of LPL began, numerous WBG fans were popping champagne to celebrate, confident that WBG would perform excellently in this stage. This optimism stemmed from WBG's transfer moves: removing the team's acknowledged "shortcoming" support Erha and signing last year's LPL first-team support Hang. Many ELK fans believed that since Hang previously "dominated" the LPL bot lane with JKL, pairing Hang with ELK would yield similar success. Consequently, many ELK fans attributed WBG's first-stage failures entirely to support Erha.

However, as the second stage of LPL progressed, many WBG fans became disillusioned because WBG, having played two matches, had not won a single major game. Initially losing to AL, many spectators thought WBG was still in a磨合期, but their recent loss to NIP left many LPL viewers unable to accept it. Notably, NIP was a "Nirvana" level team in the first stage and only recently ascended to the summit group in the second stage. Some even joked that NIP was an "advanced Nirvana" team, yet WBG was defeated by NIP with a 2-1 score.

NIP's victory over WBG was closely tied to the performance of bot laner Assam. Currently, AD Assam's stats rank first in the LPL summit group; NIP's wins largely depend on Assam's gameplay. Especially in the third game where Assam played Tristana, he achieved a 2v2 lane kill in the bot lane and aggressively输出 WBG in team fights. Interestingly, before the match, Assam had调侃 WBG's strength in an interview, stating that if NIP performed normally, they would win easily. (NIP lost the first game despite a large advantage, but dominated mid-game in the second and third games.)

After WBG's loss to NIP, many fans went to WBG's official微博 to complain and protest, arguing that the main issues were support Hang and the coaching staff. Numerous WBG fans认为 Hang cannot play soft supports and is hindering ELK in the bot lane. Additionally, many希望 WBG management更换 the coaching staff, as since the first stage, the coaches have shown no impact, whether in match BP or战术. (Do you think WBG's problems lie with the support and coaches?)

Bin wants to crush GEN

As the strongest team in LPL, BLG currently stands无敌, easily defeating both JDG and WE. Particularly in the BO3 against WE, WE couldn't last an hour and were速通 by BLG. Due to BLG's overwhelming strength, LCK player Chovy mentioned BLG in an interview, stating that since BLG won the先锋赛 championship, he has closely followed BLG and hopes to face them in international competitions.

Chovy's interview remarks caught the attention of BLG top laner Bin. During BLG's post-match interview, the host asked Bin what he wanted to say to Chovy. Bin expressed regret at not meeting GEN in the先锋赛 and hoped GEN would qualify for MSI so he could暴打 them. Many viewers look forward to seeing Bin crush Kiin; do you think BLG can achieve the golden path this year? (BLG currently has a 11-match winning streak; who can end it?)

Conclusion

WBG's current situation is quite尴尬. They spent heavily on transfers, yet their performance ranks near the bottom of LPL. Their next opponent is BLG; if WBG doesn't quickly regain form, they might be零封速通 by BLG. After consecutive wins over JDG and WE, do you think BLG can achieve a perfect record in the regular season?
