WBG was looked down upon?LOL official website launched a vote, and T1 received 90% of the votes
With the 2023 World Championship WBG and T1 showdown coming, recently, the League of Legends event officially announced the results of the previously launched vote: Who do you think can win the championship of the S13 Finals? And the vote received a total of 470,000 votes, but the interesting thing is that T1 accounted for 90% of the votes, while WBG only accounted for 10%!
So, why is WBG looked down upon by netizens on the Internet? First of all, judging from the overall performance of the two teams in the World Championship. Although WBG was able to successfully reach the finals, such a result is not difficult to remind people of WBG's luck in this World Championship. Because judging from the teams that WBG has played in the World Championship so far, most of the opponents are teams from Europe and the United States. In addition, WBG also lost to G2 and KT in the Swiss round. In other words, judging from the current record of WBG, WBG only won against European and American teams and won the civil war and defeated BLG in the semifinals with limited side selection of blue side. Judging from the schedule, WBG's schedule in this World Championship is actually relatively easy.
On the contrary, T1's road to the finals of this World Championship is a bit tougher than that of WBG. T1 not only failed to get the right to pick sides in the Bo5 competition, but also defeated the three LPL teams BLG, LNG and JDG respectively in a relatively relaxed manner. Judging by the current head-to-head records of the two teams, WBG has lost to LCK teams, but T1 has won all of them against LPL teams. With such a result, it is hard not to believe that the T1 team can always get the upper hand when facing LPL teams. And T1 is also the only team in the World Finals to maintain a complete victory against LPL teams in Bo5 competitions. Such an excellent performance, coupled with the previous record of playing against LPL teams in the S Bo5 competition. It makes sense that T1 would receive 90% of the votes.
Of course, even judging from the overall performance of the two teams so far, T1 is indeed playing much better than WBG. After all, WBG still has some hidden dangers in the semi-finals, but that doesn't mean WBG can't beat T1. Because the current WBG team was recognized by many netizens as a team with a very high ceiling at the beginning of the season. The reason why they were not able to play better in the LPL Pro League was more because of the inconsistency of WBG's performance. And once WBG can really play their ceiling in the finals, they do have a chance to be tough T1 in the front. In addition, judging from the performance of the WBG of this World Championship, compared with the WBG of the LPL Professional League, they have begun to show more obvious growth and changes. If they can evolve again in the finals, it won't be impossible to beat T1. So, on the surface, T1 may have the upper hand in this game, but the WBG with full firepower is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Finally, ladies and gentlemen, who do you think will win the championship of this World Championship between WBG and T1?
