Former World Worlds revealed a “critical” weakness
In the 2025 season, Thery and Rookie were unexpectedly reunited in the Invictus Gaming shirt. Along with some other superstars, IG is considered to be “super team” and can even compete for the LPL championship as well as international tournaments like MSI or Worlds. Only thing, up to now, IG is quite cheating in LPL and it is discovered that the inherent weakness of the former World World King is still there.
Accordingly, some LPL audiences discovered that Thery has not been able to speak Chinese fluently even though he has lived and played in the land of billion people for nearly 10 years. Theshy even won the World Championship and is considered “Top God” but the problem of communicating with his native teammates is still quite difficult.
Compared to a Korean foreigner and also the close team of Thery, Rookie, the Chinese ability of “Shy Ca” is much worse than his brother.
LPL audience also argued about the disadvantages of the former Worlds
On the League of Legends forums, many viewers also argue about this issue. If he was a normal foreign player, Thery would have received countless criticisms. However, because this is “Top God”, the reactions are somewhat softer. Even many LPL audiences have expressed their defense.
“I think this should be a challenge and IG needs to support him. We should also observe rather than criticism,” said an idea. Another audience said on Weibo: “Really concerned about this issue but not Thery who won the World Championship with this weakness?”.
In fact, no one can be sure whether the teams can arrange people who support the communication for Theshy or not. However, in LPL for decades and have not overcome this weakness, perhaps the problem is mostly actually in the player who once brought IG to win the World Championship rather than on the team.
