Introduction: The S16 season competition has officially commenced, and it is believed that most players have been following the recent matches. The LPL region's matches are quite intense; from the overall current situation, the performance of various major teams remains fluctuating. Recently, the IG team, which had been performing well, also suffered its first defeat, losing to the WB team after being reversed from a one-game lead. After the match, the title "Wei the Tiger Hunter" gained popularity again, as Wei almost chased Xiao Hu throughout the game. With the base at a sliver of health, they completed a comeback, and the WB team also displayed resilient competition. After losing the match, the top-lane player Breathe Brother fulfilled his promise, emulating Bin by joking that he had become "choked."

It is believed that most players are quite familiar with the IG team. As a veteran team in the LPL region, IG's overall performance has fluctuated severely over recent years. After securing sufficient funding, they underwent large-scale personnel restructuring, even securing a World Championship spot last season. During the winter transfer period, the rest of top-lane player TheShy seriously affected the team's lineup balance, coupled with the departure of AD player Gala, causing IG to become the weakest team in the Summit Group during the first stage. In the second stage, they again underwent extensive personnel changes, adjusting top-lane, mid-lane, AD, and support positions, leading to rapid improvement in the team's results.

Prior to this, IG had achieved a three-match winning streak, even defeating the TES team twice in both the qualifiers and the second stage. However, in the match against WB, issues arose. In the first game, Meiko's performance was outstanding, with Bard executing perfect control chains, and Wei's Pantheon directly transformed into Wei the Tiger Hunter, relentlessly pursuing Xiao Hu's Ryze. They gave WB almost no opportunity, comfortably securing the first game. The second game was thrilling; WB maintained a stable early-game rhythm, but in a late-game team fight, IG seized an opportunity. They intended to push and destroy the base, but unfortunately, Jhin's gun truly had no bullets—it felt that any other AD hero could have ended it 2-0.

The third game showcased Xiao Hu and JieJie's excellent performance. IG's mid-lane LeBlanc was completely suppressed, with no room for operation. Even in the final team fight, after the crocodile进场送掉之后, WB managed to calmly disengage and finish the game with four against five. Post-match interviews clearly showed sweat on Xiao Hu's face; he even mentioned that in the final moments of the second game, everyone's heartbeat probably exceeded 180, indicating extreme tension. Indeed, after playing four matches, they only secured their first win in the second stage. For such a top-tier all-Chinese team, this is unacceptable.

After the match, IG's top-lane player Breathe Brother fulfilled his earlier promise, emulating Bin by posting. "A beautiful day arrived late, choking done, next time we'll do it back." Honestly, in the track of top-lane players posting playful content, we have our own candidate—Bin哥已经把费用收到了五年以后了. It feels Breathe Brother indeed somewhat compares to Bin; before returning in the second stage, he publicly expressed wanting to test Bin's strength. Subsequently, IG will face three consecutive days of back-to-back matches against BLG, TES, and BLG. The real test is approaching—can they withstand Bin's pressure?

Goodbye thinks

IG achieving such results now is already quite stable, especially support player Meiko, whose overall condition improved rapidly after a period of rest, arguably his best rhythm in recent years. Hopefully, IG can maintain this. After the three-day魔鬼赛程, we will see the team's state.
