JIEJIE's post-match rating of 2.5 led to harsh backlash.

WBG, acknowledged as the "ultimate all-Chinese team" in the LPL transfer window, was widely believed to boost its league standing after reinforcing the support role. Many fans anticipated Xiaohu's comeback to the MSI stage. However, as the second phase of matches progressed, viewers noticed WBG's current form was notably weak. In a key match against JDG, WBG suffered a 2-1 defeat, now placing them second-to-last in the LPL with a 1-4 record (the bottom team is WE, currently 0 wins).

After WBG fell to the bottom of the LPL rankings, numerous fans flooded the team's official social media to protest, demanding that management apologize and take responsibility. The former top-laner Breathe and jungler Tian, dismissed during the first phase, are now performing well in top-tier LPL teams. Meanwhile, WBG's newly acquired top-laner Zika and jungler JIEJIE have not matched their predecessors' prowess, especially JIEJIE's recent performances disappointing many fans who argue he doesn't qualify as a top-tier jungler.

Many viewers criticized JIEJIE for being overly "formulaic" in matches: unless mid-laner Xiaohu gained a significant lane advantage, JIEJIE wouldn't proactively roam or engage. He often focused solely on farming in his jungle, sometimes even slower than opposing junglers. In the third game against JDG, JIEJIE famously "lost track in his own jungle," continuously farming without assisting teammates. When the team fell behind, he retreated in every skirmish, avoiding initiation to preserve his KDA. Ultimately, playing a carry jungler, he managed only 3400 damage in a 34-minute game, drawing widespread ridicule.

WBG's post-match interview exploded!

After losing to JDG, WBG head coach Shine participated in a post-match media interview. When asked how to address WBG's current slump and their future goals and priorities, Shine avoided direct answers, becoming cryptic. He stated that WBG's issues were obvious to outsiders, everyone understood, and he felt helpless.

This "helpless statement" from head coach Shine angered and disappointed many WBG fans. Many believe the coach should be dismissed first, as WBG's drafting and training have been poor since the season began. Xiaohu recently revealed in an interview that the coach's drafting lacked conviction, often distracted by player suggestions, resulting in incoherent team compositions.

The drafting in WBG's third game against JDG epitomized their second-phase struggles. Initially selecting Maokai and Galio, the coach switched Maokai to Ahri and forced a role swap by placing Ahri in the jungle, with top-laner Zika playing Jayce. This left no one to assist Xiaohu's Galio in initiating fights. Many argue head coach Shine is less effective than even LPL's "takeout coach" Zhu Kai, who at least motivates players and boosts confidence, whereas Shine repeatedly claims helplessness in post-match interviews.

Conclusion

Who do you think is WBG's biggest issue currently? In the first phase, they were third in playoffs; now, after merely changing the support, they are second-to-last in the league. Personally, I feel WBG's coach is truly inadequate—other coaches help players grow and improve, while WBG's coach has shown no standout moments this season, and players consistently complain about drafting or磨合 issues in interviews. Do you think WBG will replace their coach in the future?
