Preface: The S15 season matches have officially begun, and it's believed that the vast majority of players have been following the recent confrontations closely. The district king championship is fiercely competitive. It was expected that this showdown would be relatively formal, especially with some outstanding teams from the LPL and LCK regions, but surprisingly, it turned out to be a huge amateur setup. The players froze right when they appeared, especially with the paper-thin characters on chairs and Guo's predictions, resembling an entertainment five-man party. No wonder some participants had leaked that nobody took this competition seriously, not even playing practice matches. It was thought that DK and JDG would have an exciting match, but it ended up a one-sided domination, with the gap between the two fifth-ranked teams surprisingly large.

LOL's most embarrassing official tournament

Most players are quite familiar with League of Legends. This season, the league organizers made significant adjustments to maximize popularity, even adding a very interesting entertainment showdown between the third stage and the World Championship. Before this, everyone paid close attention to the district king championship, even expecting its popularity to surpass previous playoffs since it featured teams from LPL and LCK. However, no one expected the most exciting part of the entire event to be its pre-match promotional video, which, after so much preparation, turned out to be a big disappointment.

As the match began and the players entered, all the viewers were stunned. At the moment the representatives turned around, many players probably felt numb—black-clad figures with classic big head stickers, and even Xiaohu performed his signature hand dance, pushing abstraction to the extreme. Although there were no tickets, everyone thought it was an offline player confrontation, but it turned out to be an online club match. Even the host's lines were very humorous, saying the top five or six teams at home were stronger. The players' appearance shocked viewers even more, with paper-thin figures sitting on chairs and a Guo brave prediction made before the match, who without hesitation, climbed over to the DK side.

As expected, DK easily crushed JDG in both matches. In the first game, JDG had some early advantages, but the mid-game team fights seemed chaotic. Scout's Azir was used recklessly, showing no serious attitude towards the match, almost like just going through the motions. DK then executed a relatively smooth comeback, ending the first game in just 32 minutes. The second game was even more brutal. Though Scout decisively initiated a root at six minutes and, with Xun, killed Showmaker, and even secured the dragon mid-game, pulling the economy tight, everything collapsed suddenly after 20 minutes. Within four minutes, the economic gap widened by over 10,000 gold, and at 25 minutes, JDG was easily wiped out.

No one expected the match to turn out this way. JDG's laning seemed stable in both games, but the team fights collapsed instantly, almost like they were playing against bots. Watching this match, it seems IG might be in serious trouble. The gap between the two teams is quite large. The upcoming LCK training tactics over the next few days will be crucial. If LCK teams can provide some guidance, maybe IG can maintain steady growth. It feels like if DK came to LPL, they would likely rank in the top three.

Farewell opinions

Unexpectedly, after the first game of the district king championship, the worst player was immediately identified. Scout was completely ineffective in team fights, even becoming a liability. In the second game, he was even solo killed by the opposing top laner. If nothing changes, JDG will likely face a major roster overhaul after this tournament. Having invested over 40 million for two consecutive years without reaching the World Championship, even a wealthy team can't sustain such spending.

Dear viewers, what are your thoughts on this matter?
