Xiaohu's self-deprecating comments have drawn widespread attention.

Following WBG’s acquisition of AD carry Elk and champion jungler Jiejie in the transfer period, numerous LPL viewers have pinned great expectations on them to achieve historic success this season. Many fans even wish for them to represent a fully Chinese lineup to claim the world title. However, as the LPL matches progressed, it became clear to many that WBG’s performance was highly inconsistent. When playing well, they dominated opponents, but during slumps, no matter how strong their early lead was, they would easily lose control in the mid to late game and squander promising positions.

For example, in the playoffs clash between WBG and IG, WBG showcased a "dual-faced" performance. They managed to secure an economic advantage in the early and mid stages, but during subsequent game management, mistakes began to surface with players repeatedly giving away kills one after another. Fortunately, IG’s overall strength was somewhat weaker than WBG’s; otherwise, WBG’s victory would have been uncertain. (IG’s top laner Soboro was heavily outmatched by Zika throughout the match, leading many IG fans to hope for a new top laner next season.)

Due to WBG’s volatile match performances, after beating IG, the most honored LPL mid laner Xiaohu humorously poked fun at the team during a post-match interview. Xiaohu pointed out that WBG’s weaknesses have become obvious, and they must avoid frequently giving kills in the mid game in future matches. If WBG cannot fix this bad habit, they are not qualified to compete for the LPL championship. (Honestly, WBG’s shortcomings were already evident last year, often losing leads due to failure to push advantages, and this year seems to be repeating the same pattern. What do you think is WBG’s main problem?)

BLG’s fountain diving in matches is surprisingly "personal"!

Besides WBG’s antics, BLG also brought much amusement to fans on the first day of playoffs. For instance, during their match against NIP, BLG staged a “fountain diving” scene. Many BLG fans and LPL casters praised BLG’s mid laner Left Hand for being so "personal" because his fountain diving target was his former teammate Zhuo. Left Hand and Zhuo kept interacting and exchanging emotes throughout the match, and some viewers joked that Left Hand’s fountain dives were actually like sending "red envelopes" to Zhuo.

In addition to Left Hand’s interactions with his ex-teammate during the match, BLG’s jungler Xun openly addressed former teammate ELK in a post-match interview. Xun urged ELK to be more cautious in the upcoming BO5 series, warning that he would continue to target the bottom lane. This statement sparked memories among BLG fans of the 2024 BLG roster. Back then, the “EXO” duo formed by BLG’s bottom lane and jungler was known for Xun’s aggressive tower dives at level 3. Many fans still believe ELK fits BLG better than Viper.

Who do you think will win the playoff showdown between WBG and BLG? Personally, I feel that unless WBG all perform exceptionally well, it will be very difficult for them to defeat BLG. After all, WBG didn’t manage to beat BLG in the regular season, and even when BLG was at its lowest point, WBG failed to seize the opportunity to win. (At that time, Bin left the team carrying a backpack, causing BLG’s overall form to suffer—they couldn’t even beat TES, yet WBG still couldn’t overcome BLG.)
