While this win pushes WBG closer to their goal, it hasnt been an easy journey.
They now await a highly-anticipated semifinal clash against eitherBilibili Gaming (BLG)orHanwha Life Esports (HLE).
Doesn’t it sound like a potential repeat of WBG’s Worlds run last year?
This year, however, WBG were far from favourites coming into Worlds.
Their struggles continued in the Swiss Stage.
Breathe believes any of the remaining teams, including WBG, are capable of lifting the trophy.
However, he emphasised the team’s growth.
The second is the macro aspect.
I think these two aspects have improved a lot."
Trust between teammates has also been a crucial part of their improvement.
We are getting better and better, and we trust each other more and more, he reiterated.
“The rest of the games will depend on our individual performance.
We are going to strive to take them [all] down,” added Breathe.
Confident in their adaptability, Breathe added, I think we have a good understanding of lane swaps.
Everyone knows what to do.
I can’t really say if the LPL is better than the LCK, or vice versa.
They are all very good, he shared.
I think it depends on who laughs first.
If we can take them down, that would be so meaningful for us.
Or will they once again fall short at the last moment?
