Team WE have done it again. The LPL's most unlikely playoff story added another chapter on Monday with a clean 3-0 sweep of Anyone's Legend, dispatching a side that had looked firmly entrenched in the league's top four for most of the split. Jungler Wang "Monki" Meng-Qi picked up the series MVP, his third in as many BO5s (best-of-fives) of WE's Split 2 run after also being named player of the series against LNG Esports at Knight's Rivals and in the stunning upset of Bilibili Gaming on Saturday.
The win sets up a June 7 clash with Top Esports for a place in both the LPL Split 2 grand final and the MSI. For a team that finished 1-13 in the regular season and was a Knight Rivals' game loss away from relegation, the prospect of competing on the international stage in Daejeon would cap one of the most improbable runs in LPL history.
