Whereas Weibo Gaming high laner TheShy had a stable run by means of the 2023 version of League of Legends Worlds, his efficiency within the finals towards T1 left rather a lot to be desired.
TheShy solely notched one kill and 5 assists through the three-game sequence regardless of snagging Aatrox, certainly one of his signature champions, twice. Throughout the third and closing sport of the match, TheShy struggled on Kennen. It was the first time he posted back-to-back video games with beneath a 1.0 KDA because the LPL Summer time common season. Coming into the grand finals, TheShy led the Worlds field in solo kills, however he was outclassed by T1’s Choi “Zeus” Woo-je, who gained MVP for the grand finals. Zeus solely died a complete of 4 occasions and was stellar on Gwen and Aatrox in a pair of routs in video games two and three.
Whereas it’s actually doable to be an enormous contributor to a win in a sport of League and never go constructive, three adverse performances in a row are actually not serving to in any approach. The remainder of Weibo Gaming was dispatched virtually as simply, although; the group solely notched one whole kill through the second sport. Gentle, Weibo’s ADC, didn’t notch a single kill till the third match, and by then, T1 had been on an unstoppable wave of momentum.
Whereas Weibo Gaming actually will look again on making the grand finals as ethical victory, it could’t really feel good to be on the dropping finish of probably the most one-sided Worlds grand finals ever. One of the best-of-five was completed in a bit of beneath 90 minutes of in-game time, and out of doors of some early sport stress, it didn’t appear like Weibo Gaming got here to play in any respect.
