Recently, the League of Legends 2022 LPL Spring Season regular season ushered in the peak showdown between WBG and EDG on the second day of the fifth week. Although EDG maintained excellent competitive form and unbeaten gold before this game, WBG's performance this season is also quite good. Therefore, many people are looking forward to whether EDG's undefeated golden body will be forced. In the end, WBG did break EDG's undefeated golden body, but what people did not expect was that WBG almost beat EDG without any ability to fight back in two consecutive games, and won the game cleanly with a total score of 2-0.
So why did WBG beat EDG so strongly? Judging by the performance of the two games, there are two key reasons. The first reason is the choice in the EDG lineup, because from the BP of EDG's two consecutive games. EDG actually came up with a lineup of the front and middle periods, especially in the case of Jinx is still there, EDG preferentially chooses the heroes with rhythm in the early stages such as cards. At the same time, in the choice of two-person road, EDG came up with the two-way combination of EZ plus Kalmar in two consecutive sets. Although from the performance of the two sets of matches, EZ Plus Kalmar's double road did play a certain degree of suppression in the early stage, but Huanfeng and ON resisted the pressure for two consecutive sets and did not let EDG's double road play the desired advantage.
The second key reason is that WBG has been really too stable in this game against EDG. I believe that many netizens who pay attention to the WBG team know that although WBG is very strong, the three players of Theshy, SofM and ON often have unstable performance in the game. In particular, sofm and ON, the two players, the playing style is more "casual" has almost become their label this season. However, in this duel with EDG, the attention of these three players is highly concentrated, and the support and cooperation are perfect. And as the LPL's official commentator Miller said, "When WBG doesn't do the effect, it's too strong." Among them, "effect" actually refers to the "casualness" that WBG usually appears in the game.
However, in addition to the above two factors, there is actually a more critical factor. That is, the style of play and style of WBG's single Theshy is gradually beginning to change. In two consecutive games, Theshy once gave up the line of arms to harass his opponents, giving SofM enough time to brush the rhythm of the wild in the early stages, so that the team-type play of giving up his own development was indeed rare in Theshy. The other is that Theshy has become very stable when playing against the line and the group, and it is not at all head-on, which actually reflects the gradual emergence of Theshy as a team from the side.
Finally, as Miller said, when WBG doesn't work and the players in each position are extremely serious and focused, the upper limit of this team is really very high.
