Weibo Gaming delivered a devastating blow to the West’s hopes at the 2023 League of Legends World Championship with a resounding 3-0 victory over NRG. The LCS underdogs, who had previously shown their determination by defeating G2 Esports, were no match for Weibo’s relentless aggression and unwavering pressure. It was a series that shattered NRG’s dreams and left them with nothing.
The first game of the series started off with a close battle, as both teams engaged in explosive gameplay. NRG secured neutral objectives, but Weibo consistently scored kills, allowing Light’s Aphelios to scale and dominate. Weibo ultimately secured the Baron, pushing NRG to the edge of collapse.
Weibo carried their momentum into the second game, displaying even more dominance. With a 2,000 gold lead in less than 10 minutes, Weiwei’s jungle control enabled his teammates to apply relentless pressure. Weibo commanded the Rift, leaving NRG with no opportunity to turn the tides.
The final game followed a similar pattern, with Weibo closing it out in under 30 minutes. They secured first blood, all the drakes, the Baron, and nearly 20 kills. Despite NRG’s desperate attempts to turn the tide, Weibo showed no mercy and advanced to the semifinals after a swift match.
Weibo’s dominant performance not only eliminated NRG but also extinguished the last remaining hopes for a Western team in the tournament. As they prepare for the semifinals, Weibo awaits the challenge of either Gen.G or Bilibili Gaming, who are set to clash in the second quarterfinals of Worlds 2023 tomorrow.
