TES vs. IG

In a 2-0 situation, TES inexplicably chose an incomprehensible lineup in the third game, and then went crazy in the game. As a result, it was normal again in the fourth game, and finally swept IG 3-1. Today's Bo5 may seem to many to be a one-sided crushing 3-0 game. The only thing that is impressive is that JieJie fought hard to snatch the ancient dragon in the second game, but it was still a tragic scene of losing the game.

Not an opponent at all

Whether it is the previous record or this matchup, IG can't beat TES at all. The gap is so big that it is reminiscent of the previous LPL teams beating those teams that were promoted from the secondary leagues. Older kayaks don't seem to be suitable for this IG now, because there are no kayaks at all, which is completely a performance of 5 people at the level of Shenjiang. You may have a hard time believing that Theshy, who used to play all kinds of long hands and short hands in Quinn VN, is now going to bow his head and play Orn and Big Tree. And the performance is called a hard word. In short, TES eliminated IG and advanced to the next round of the lower bracket, and the first stage of the IG tour of the top traffic team came to an end.

The unworthy "all-god class"

After the IG list for the transfer period at the end of last year came out, many people felt that this IG was very "powerful", that's right, this awesome is to be put in quotation marks. Even many LPL viewers gave them a very exaggerated title "All-God Class". Because in the group of 5, 4 people have won the World Finals, and the worst is also 2 MSI championships. However, these players are no longer the same as they were when they won the championship.

Theshy has been off for a whole year, Rookie's Bo5 performance has been poor over the years, JieJie was injured last year and scrapped half a season, Gala has also been famous for its major tournaments in recent years, not to mention the auxiliary, and it is indeed popular enough to play, and the courage of the Grand Slam is strong enough, otherwise it will not be able to play top tournaments at the current level.

Popularity and strength cannot be equated

Not everyone can combine popularity and strength like Faker, who has played 5 championship rings in 12 years. And that's also the reward of 12 years of uninterrupted hard work. We have talked about a topic a long time ago, and we are not optimistic about anyone who comes back from retirement for more than a year. History has long proven this. This year, Theshy and Doinb are the same, they have slackened off compared to the active players who have not retired, even if they are only away for a year or two, which is much worse.

In terms of popularity, they are indeed the top performers, there is no doubt about it. But in terms of strength, e-sports only looks at the results to speak, strong is strong, weak is weak. IG is the so-called "traffic team", maybe they themselves are not willing to develop in this direction, but now it seems that it is difficult to change qualitatively in a season.

The prediction at the beginning of the season is still too conservative and overestimates the strength of the old star players, and the hope of this IG team entering the top four in the LPL is very slim.
