TheShy's ability to compete and integrate with the IG team continues to be questioned.

TheShy is considered a "black spot" of IG

After the Demacia Cup 2024 group stage ended, IG was the team that made a huge impression with a winning record. Furthermore, this team also had extremely satisfying performances when defeating RNG in just 16 minutes and 27 seconds, a record number at this tournament. Superstars like Rookie, TheShy, GALA... of IG all have moments of brilliance and bring great trust to fans.

The "new" IG has had an extremely successful start

And as a way to celebrate the above commendable achievement, IG recently posted a 9-minute video recording the players' in-game communication process. However, this video makes the audience think that TheShy is the "black spot" in the all-star lineup that IG currently owns. The reason is because in this 9-minute long video, TheShy hardly communicates with his teammates from lane to combat. There was even a situation where TheShy did not listen to instructions from the captain (Meiko) and rushed to attack the opponent.

In one situation, TheShy did not listen to Meiko's instructions to "step back" but continued to attack.

Of course, with weaker opponents at the recent Demacia Cup, TheShy's overly personal playing style did not bring too many consequences. However, fans can't help but worry that when meeting stronger opponents, TheShy's failure to communicate like that will put IG at a disadvantage. Some people even counted that in the 9-minute video posted by IG, TheShy only said 3 sentences and did not contribute much to the group.

"Someone check to see if TheShy's mic is broken or not" - One player sarcastically commented

"Hey TheShy, did you really only say 3 sentences in the video?" - Another person shared

"TheShy didn't say anything, just Q3 and rushed up" - Another gamer agreed

TheShy and IG still have many areas to improve

Ever since IG announced the "all-star" lineup for the 2025 season, TheShy has received a lot of doubt from the community. This guy completely retired from competition in the 2024 season and has only returned to the professional environment for a short time. Obviously, for a team with ambitions to compete for titles like IG, recruiting someone like TheShy who has been out of competition for a long time will bring a huge risk. Perhaps for this reason, TheShy has not yet fully familiarized herself with the professional environment, leading to the above situation of too little communication.

TheShy's ability to integrate and adapt to the new team is still questioned

Furthermore, IG 2025 is ultimately an "all-star" team, so team members need time to understand and adapt to new teammates. Successful matches in the Demacia Cup 2024 group stage are a necessary factor to promote the "new" IG to be more cohesive in the future. If TheShy improves his communication skills, this team will become a very formidable name in the upcoming season.
