After FPX lost to TES, FPX jungler shadow once posted a joke that FPX can play with LPL king TES in the game, and no matter who he meets in the lower bracket in the future, FPX will have a chance to win. And shadow's confident speech was also ridiculed by Miller, the official commentator of LPL. Many viewers think that FPX jungler is talking big, after all, IG can buy the entire FPX with the salary of a player, and some viewers even think that FPX is successful if it wins a small game.
But the jungler shadow slapped some fans and viewers in the face, during the game, shadow relied on the jungler Lilia and the wolf dog, directly forcing IG into a life-and-death situation, although IG succeeded in winning 3-2 in the end, but many IG fans are not hopeful about the future of IG, because there are too many "uncertain factors" in IG today's IG, especially IG Nosuke's game play, which makes many IG fans break the defense.
For example, the jungler jiejie was completely suppressed by shadow in this BO5, many IG fans don't understand, TheShy and ROOKIE press the opponent under the tower every game against the line, and it makes sense that jiejie plays around the upper lane or the middle lane, then IG will easily win, but jiejie has to go to IG every time to hang up, which causes shadow to put a lot of pressure on IG in every game.
The bottom lane duo that was taken care of by jiejie was also suppressed by the FPX bottom lane duo in this BO5, and some viewers even called the combination of meiko and GALA "forever inferior twins". After all, when IG played BLG, the bottom lane duo was crushed, and now playing FPX, IG bottom lane duo has also been suppressed.
In the BO5 duel between IG and FPX, TheShy's most dazzling highlight moment was in the fifth game, when he chose the sword demon and incarnated as the "city wall" to lead his teammates to defeat FPX. In this game, TheShy performed at the MVP level both in the lane and in the team, especially in the Q flash operation in the enemy's tower, which made the LPL official commentator Miller admit frankly that 99% of the world's players dare not Q flash, and only THESHY Sword Demon dares to operate like this.
Many viewers were curious, how would the other IG players react after witnessing TheShy's sword demon's tower-crossing operation? However, one thing happened that made many TheShy fans feel helpless, that is, the IG team battle command was too chaotic, especially Meiko's speech of shouting TheShy Beyue Tower, which caused THESHY fans to complain.
According to the IG team's voice recordings, Meiko spoke out several times during the team fight, trying to persuade TheShy not to attack over the tower. However, TheShy did not listen to Meiko's command and directly entered the defense tower, and it turned out that TheShy's decision-making in the teamfight was not wrong. On the contrary, Meiko's too cowardly command made many IG fans feel that Meiko was not suitable for IG.
After IG wins and advances, IG's next round opponent will be WBG, these two teams have played each other in the regular season, but both games are won by WBG, many IG fans are afraid that WBG will eliminate IG, after all, IG's shortcomings are too obvious today, on the other hand, WBG's overall strength is stronger than IG?
DURING THE POST-MATCH INTERVIEW, ROOKIE REVEALED AN INTERESTING THING, THAT IS, DANSHEN PREPARED A BLUE BP IN THIS BO5, SO HE WAS VERY NERVOUS DURING SOLO, FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO BAN VERUS ON THE OTHER SIDE, ROOKIE BELIEVES THAT AS LONG AS BOTH SIDES TAKE VERUS, THEN HIS VERUS IS INVINCIBLE. (Danshen's red BP is too outrageous, and I feel that the reason for IG's low win rate on the red side is Danshen's problem)
FPX's BO5 is indeed a pity for the audience, but FPX, as a "rotten" lineup, is already very strong in the new season. IG did make a lot of mistakes in this BO5, but I personally believe that IG will slowly adjust later, and I also hope that IG can achieve four consecutive wins in the lower bracket and finally advance to MSI. Do you think IG will be able to make it out of the lower bracket?
