Is the pressure on AL's schedule too much? After consecutive losses to BLG and WBG, Tabe calls for everyone to overcome difficulties together.

In the third stage of the LPL, AL faced WBG with a record of 1-2, suffering two consecutive defeats. After returning from MSI and EWC, it was expected that AL would demonstrate dominance upon their return to the LPL. However, after losing to BLG, they also fell to WBG, which was indeed somewhat unexpected, and the defeat quickly sparked considerable controversy.

Firstly, AL's official Weibo exploded with numerous fans angrily criticizing: some players were clearly throwing the game. It turns out that a champion jungler is indeed stronger than a non-champion jungler. Apart from Saint Gunner and the little dragon, there was no sign of any other players wanting to win the game. The jungler was focused on farming early on but failed to secure a single dragon! Some fans bluntly stated: it seems they're heading for the bottom. Of course, there were also fans expressing concern, suggesting that the players should take a good rest, as everyone seems too exhausted and unable to play properly. Instead of continuing training, it might be better to rest well and come back stronger to win again.

Secondly, LPL official commentators Mao Mao and 957 also discussed the reasons behind AL's defeat. They noted that AL made several small mistakes early on, such as Shanks getting caught without flash and Kael making a mistake and getting caught as well. AL's numerous small errors were detrimental. In these two BO3 matches, it felt like AL's jungler and support were completely silenced and suppressed, leading to a loss of direction. The mid-late game duo also gave opportunities, and overall, their performance seemed somewhat lackluster. This is actually good news for AL, as it shows there are areas for improvement, and it's also good news for the LPL region, as the competition level has risen, and everyone will become stronger.

Finally, during the post-match interview, AL coach Tabe mentioned the upcoming two away games, which require back-to-back travel. Tabe expressed: he hopes everyone can overcome difficulties together. This indicates that the current schedule is indeed a significant challenge for the AL players.

The main reason for AL's poor performance seems to be the tight schedule. The players and coaching staff have not had enough time to rest and have been continuously under high intensity, which will definitely affect their performance in matches. It remains to be seen if they can gradually adjust back. If they can make the necessary adjustments, they still have the potential to be a very competitive team, and I hope they can utilize the upcoming matches to improve gradually.
