Losing miserably against JDG, SofM’s WBG was criticized for choosing the same lineup as amateur teams

The group stage of the LPL is a long-distance race and the one with the biggest advantage has to be the team with the best form. Unfortunately this is what Weibo Gaming’s SofM recently lost and caused them to gradually fall out of the top group of the LPL Spring 2022 rankings. The final match against JD Gaming is a good opportunity for WBG to regain the trust of the fans but unfortunately It’s funny when they lost miserably with a score of 0-2.

SofM and teammates fell out of the top 4 after this loss

Not to mention the personal handling of the players, even the selection of the WBG squad has very serious problems. Even while commenting directly on the match between WBG and JDG, the English channel’s editors had to exclaim that WBG drafted like amateur teams because they didn’t know how to ban generals who countered their lineup. Even how to choose Sion WBG’s last side also got stoned when they wasted a counter pick.

BLV LPL: “It’s unbelievable that WBG would ban picks like amateur teams. They should have banned Tahm Kench as soon as they had the intention to pick Viego. They chose a lineup that could split, assassinate one target. target but leave Tahm Kench open and look at how WBG is struggling to take down the opponent Kanavi just jumps between the 2 towers without being killed because Tahm Kench is ready to save.

Also, they wasted their counter picks in Top lane when picking Sion. They set up a very good ban and pick that let TheShy pick last with a counter champion and render 369 useless. So they picked Sion, a champion just to defend like this.”

Having the right to pick counters but pick Sion caused WBG too many problems in lane

Indeed, if you watch game 2 of the match between WBG and JDG, you can see how unreasonable the selections caused SofM and his teammates to lose miserably. The first is Sion’s last choice for TheShy has almost no counter-meaning meaning and makes this guy a lot of trouble in laning with Kennen. Even in the mid game, TheShy moved out of sync with his teammates and caused the player himself to be caught a lot.

With Tahm Kench, this champion completely neutralized the attacks of WBG or the team’s odd capture attempts. Obviously when WBG can’t have a life, Viego in SofM’s hand has no chance to possess the opponent’s body and create a snowball position in combat. Since then, all major goals and control of the game have all fallen into the hands of JDG.

WBG also has an effort to catch the odd in this match…

… however Tahm Kench made those attacks of the WBG completely bankrupt

It can be said that this loss has exposed all the weaknesses of the current WBG when the player’s performance is not high and the ability to ban picks is still “young”. With the possibility that WBG will be in 5th place in the rankings, they will have to start the upcoming playoffs in round 2 and possibly be eliminated. Hopefully SofM and teammates will soon find a way to solve these weaknesses to have the opportunity to go deep in the upcoming playoffs.
