The Reigning World Champion Finds a New “Charming” Point
In the 2025 season, TheShy and Rookie have returned to the iconic Invictus Gaming jersey. Along with several other superstars, IG is considered a “super team” and may even compete for the LPL championship as well as international tournaments like MSI and the World Championship. However, as of now, IG is still facing significant challenges in the LPL, and the discovery of the reigning World Champion’s ‘charming’ point remains elusive.
According to reports, some LPL fans have noticed that TheShy still struggles to communicate effectively in Mandarin, despite living and competing for nearly a decade in the region. Additionally, TheShy previously held the title of World Champion and was regarded as a “Top God,” yet still finds it quite difficult to communicate with his teammates.
When compared to his close teammate Rookie, TheShy’s Mandarin skills lag significantly behind his brother’s.
Fans Debate the Communication Skills of the Reigning World Champion
On various League of Legends forums in China, many fans are actively discussing this issue. If it were a normal external player, there might be less scrutiny. However, because he is a “Top God,” the criticism directed towards him tends to be more pronounced. Additionally, it is not uncommon for LPL fans to express their dissatisfaction with TheShy’s performance.
“I think this should be a challenge, and IG needs to support him. We should observe more closely rather than criticize,” one commentator suggested. Another fan remarked on Weibo: “Is it really just TheShy who has won the World Championship without being able to articulate this charming point?”
In reality, no one can be sure if the team will be able to help TheShy improve his communication skills or not. However, the fact that he remains in the LPL while still having challenges with this charming point raises questions about his team’s support in enhancing communication skills that might have contributed to IG’s World Championship victory.
