Perkz commented on Theshy: He is the only player in the world who can become a benchmark level

Becoming the first world champion team in the history of the League of Legends Pro League (LPL), they beat Fnatic 3-0 in the Finals to win the 2018 World Championship. While the tournament MVP of the series was Ning, South Korean duo Theshy and Rookie dominated their respective positions throughout the tournament. In a recent live broadcast, Perkz recalled the match and praised him.

Perkz and TheShy met for the first time in the semi-finals of the 2018 World Championships. G2 Esports defeated RNG, while IG defeated KT Rolster. Although both teams scored 3-2, the LPL side beat G2 by an absolute margin of 3-0. In that match, the singles player Theshy completed the most memorable sword and magic scene of the game.

Perkz said of Theshy:

"Honestly, I think TheShy is the only player in the world who can be a benchmark level. He's so good. It's funny because in S8, all the charge heroes are his best players, like Akali, Knife Girl or Sword Demon," Perkz explained to his fans. During the 2018 World Championship, he played a total of 8 different heroes, but the hero he used the most was Thayne, playing a total of 4 games.

For Perkz, the performance of the single is the key to IG winning the 2018 world championship. "They won the World Championship without succumbing to those heroes because they just did better than everyone else. They don't have to win the game with a flexible BP. You know when they pick a hero like Akali or something like that, they're going to hit the upper half, and then rookie can use Lisandro, Loveland, Gario to give the response." In general, TheShy pays little attention to version trends because he wins in his own style.

However, for the top player, it wasn't all a success. TheShy left IG at the end of 2021 after the club failed to make the LPL playoffs for the first time in seven years. The South Korean has joined WBG, formerly Suning. He will now team up with sofm, SwordArt and others. Rookie also left IG after seven years of joining IG to join V5.
