WBG, a team consisting of 2 World champions(TheShy & Crisp) and a 3x MSI champion (Xiaohu). Despite reaching the finals, WBG has not shown a consistent performance. We have seen the team lose to Scrim champions G2 (which got knocked out by NRG) by throwing with a massive gold lead with mountain soul and then ironically sweeping NRG in quarters.
In semis, TheShy astrogapped Bin and carried while the rest of his team performed below expectations. However when TheShy was placed on tank duty, the rest of the team decided to show up. Lastly, people forget that they still have another former MSI champion, Karsa, hidden the chamber and waiting for the opportunity to be unleashed.
Hence, to this date, we still don’t know the extent of WBG’s power.
Here’s the original thread for the title’s reference:

Everyone laughed, but I told you guys G2 was good enough to be in the finals.
I thought Xiaohu had only won MSI 2 times, but you are right, he’s won 3 times. Kind of crazy, especially because this is the first time he makes Worlds finals.
Oh, we do know the extent of WBG’s power. They’re BORN TO WIN(TRADE), simultaneously the best and worst team in the major regions. They can be the greatest inters or giga gappers, humiliate the best of the best or be humiliated.
That’s why Keria has been cautious in the interviews leading to the Finals. He said the finals will probably be 3-2, but I’m sure he knows there’s a potential for a 3-0 sweep. Who comes out on top? Nobody knows.
