LPL: TheShy and co. will not be missed at Worlds. Weibo Gaming has edged out EDG to become the fourth LPL representative

The first major region in the League of Legends ecosystem already has a clear representative for Worlds. The latest representative comes from the pair of Weibo Gaming and EDG.

The LPL’s fierce schedule has come to a close. After JDG and BLG, LNG became the Chinese top three for Worlds, leaving the final question of who would capture the last Worlds spot.

Fate brought the two Chinese superteams together. Weibo Gaming versus EDG. TheShy and Xiaohu against Uzi and Meik. The stellar battle for the last spot began with a great opening by Weibo Gaming. TheShy proved once again that his qualities at the top are almost impossible to beat.

EDG, who finished third in the spring, had plenty of opportunities to qualify better during the summer. Unfortunately, inconsistent performances determined that the favorite will have to do a lot of work at Worlds. Although EDG was able to even the series at 1-1, it was the Weibo players who showed more hunger for success.

Weibo then used match point to put the pressure on EDG, who had the match in their hands for most of the fourth game. Incomprehensible errors but also excellent positional play by Weibo dramatized the match.

Weibo then managed to control the space around Baron brilliantly and it became clear that Uzi and co. would not have enough strength. The final push from the opponent forced EDG into some panic and incompetence, which Weibo pulled off to a victorious end.

Thus, the 3-1 result moves Weibo Gaming to Worlds. TheShy will also return to the world stage after four years. At the same time, looking at the LPL lineup that China will send to Worlds, there is a lot of respect, to put it politely. A lethal cocktail of JDG, BLG, LNG and Weibo, this will be a great wilderness for the opponents.
