This article will combine the hot topics and hot content on the Internet in the past 10 days, and use structured data and analysis to reveal the reasons for WE jungle substitutions.
1. Review of WE jungle substitution incident
On October 10, 2023, WE Esports Club officially announced that jungler Beishang (Jiang Zhipeng) will take a temporary break, and substitute jungler View (Li Hao) will take over the starting position. This decision quickly became a hot search topic on Weibo, and the number of views on the related topic exceeded 50 million.
| time | event | social media popularity |
|---|---|---|
| October 10 | WE official announcement of substitution | Weibo hot search No. 8 |
| October 11 | Beishang posted a response | 123,000 likes |
| October 12 | View first game performance | 300+ Hupu discussion threads |
2. Multi-dimensional analysis of reasons for substitution
1. Competitive status factors
Judging from the data, Beishang's performance has indeed declined this season. Here’s how he compares to the average LPL jungler:
| data item | Beishang | LPL average | gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDA | 2.8 | 3.2 | -12.5% |
| Average damage | 320 | 350 | -8.6% |
| First blood participation rate | 45% | 52% | -7% |
2. Adjustments to team tactics
WE is trying to transform into a play style that is more focused on the top half this season, and Beishang's traditional map control style has a certain conflict with this tactic. As a newcomer, View plays a more aggressive style and works better with top laner Biubiu.
3. Version adaptation issues
The current 12.18 version has higher requirements for the jungle hero pool, especially the need to master powerful heroes such as Wei and Monkey. Beishang's hero pool is more traditional, and View has a higher winning rate for these heroes in the Korean server rank:
| hero | Beishang winning rate | View winning rate |
|---|---|---|
| Wei | 52% | 68% |
| monkey | 49% | 63% |
| Foego | 56% | 71% |
3. Reactions from fans and the industry
The substitution decision sparked heated discussions among WE fan groups. Weibo super call data shows:
| point of view | Proportion |
|---|---|
| Support substitutions | 42% |
| Oppose substitution | 35% |
| wait and see attitude | twenty three% |
E-sports commentator Miller said during the live broadcast: "WE needs to prepare for the future. View's potential is worth cultivating. But Beishang's experience is equally important to the team. We hope it will be a rotation rather than a replacement."
4. Forecast of subsequent impacts
1. It may affect the stability of the team in the short term, but in the long term it will be beneficial to the depth of the lineup.
2. View’s performance will determine whether WE can reach the playoffs.
3. Beishang’s rest adjustment may be to prepare for the subsequent transfer period
The WE manager revealed in the interview: "This adjustment is the result of careful consideration by the coaching staff. We will flexibly arrange player rotation according to the game situation."
5. Conclusion
E-sports lineup adjustments are always performance-oriented. This substitution of WE not only reflects dissatisfaction with the current record, but also reflects the long-term plan to cultivate new players. Regardless of the final outcome, this courage to seek change deserves recognition. We hope that View can seize the opportunity to prove himself, and we also wish Beishang can regain his best form as soon as possible.
