Behind-the-scenes story of WE revealed: Monki once fell out with teammates, then proactively apologized, ultimately creating a miracle.

Greetings, LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is Game World.

The playoff picture of the LPL's second split has been entirely reshaped by WE, who finished last in the regular season. They beat BLG and AL in a row, reaching the winners' bracket finals, and the team's jungler Monki has gained the audience's approval.

In a recent interview, Monki revealed some behind-the-scenes stories of the team, which caught everyone's interest.

Once fell out with teammates, later apologized proactively.

In fact, WE struggled significantly during the regular season of the second split, losing repeatedly. During this period, Monki displayed a "team bully" side. From the subtle clues behind the scenes at WE, one could detect that Monki's dissatisfaction with his teammates had reached a peak, even leading to arguments. The teammates' gaming philosophies clashed.

Later, Monki voluntarily requested some time off. WE also made roster changes but still failed to achieve good results.

After that, Monki adjusted his mindset and recognized his own shortcomings. He returned to the team, proactively apologized to his teammates, and engaged in a series of deep conversations, achieving a key breakthrough in team relations. Since then, his teammates have been willing to follow his commands.

This is the fundamental reason why WE managed to create a miracle. It can only be said that WE as a team holds incredible potential—once it erupts, it has the power to overwhelm the entire league. Here we must praise Monki as a player. As one of EDG's former young prodigies, he has always held himself to strict standards and has been striving to lead the team to breakthroughs in performance.

Analysis of Monki's Style: WE's Half-Coach.

Monki first became well-known during his time with EDG, where he was a jungler cultivated by the team. He performed outstandingly in the LDL, but after moving to the LPL, his performance was very poor, giving rise to the classic "Miracle Walker still farming" meme. The five EDG players at that time were also called the "Five Little Prodigies."

Monki's most iconic playstyle was leading his teammates into the jungle and then directly giving away kills.

After EDG's lineup failed, the five young prodigies dispersed to various teams. Monki eventually moved to WE, where he took on important responsibilities. He is not just a player but also serves as half a coach for the team.

Monki's most distinctive personal style is that of a commander—reading the game, making decisions, and directing teammates. At the same time, his individual mechanics are strong, with a highly aggressive and fierce playstyle. Such a jungler is quite rare in the LPL. Monki holds himself to the strictest standards and takes on more within the team.

As he described, during this process, serious conflicts arose between him and his teammates. He was frustrated that they weren't meeting expectations, and his attitude toward them had certain issues. Simply put, he lacked effective communication methods, which caused the team to break apart temporarily.

Rapid Growth, Poised to Reach the Peak.

In my view, Monki's growth after leaving EDG has been very rapid. During his EDG days, his commanding decisions often led to mistakes. After paying a heavy "tuition," he has grown into a jungler who combines excellent command ability with individual skill. In the current LPL environment, where talent is sparse, he is especially valuable.

His growth has almost entirely come from his own hard work. Many rookies lack his drive and ambition, which is why they fail to break through. But he was determined to prove himself. Once such a player makes it big, he becomes highly popular.

After his breakout in the second split, Monki has the chance to lead WE into MSI. If successful, WE will create new history, and Monki, as the team's soul, will be remembered by all LPL teams and managers. Even if WE doesn't achieve great results this year, Monki's future remains bright.

We also hope that outstanding rookies like Zuian and Monki will always remain humble and hardworking, striving to become the pillars of the LPL as soon as possible, helping the LPL return to its peak.
