Introduction: The S15 season has officially commenced, and I believe most players have been following the recent matches closely. The competition in the LPL region is quite intense. JDG is a team that everyone is familiar with, but their performance during this period has been rather average, and they have even become a mid-tier team in the league, unable to qualify for the World Championship. In recent matches, their newly joined support player Wink has become a focal point of criticism among many players. As a strong team in the peak group, they surprisingly can't even execute Alistar's double engage, leading to direct top-tier comparisons and sarcasm from the official commentator Guan Zeyuan. If nothing changes, this season for JDG should be considered over.
I believe most players are still very interested in the LPL region. Over the past few years, the number of teams in the region has increased, but the overall quality has remained quite average. Veteran players have retired one after another, and there hasn't been much fresh talent injected, leading to a significant decline in the overall performance of the LPL region, which hasn't won the World Championship in many years. Recently, LPL teams have been trying their best to bring in foreign aid and acquire domestic players to form a top-tier team, but so far, they haven't found a truly strong team. Even the champions of the second and first splits have been outclassed by teams from the LCK at the World Championship stage.
After the start of the third split, the overall situation in the LPL region has changed dramatically. After BLG's return, their overall performance has been outstanding, currently holding a 5-0 record. Meanwhile, JDG, who used to face them in lane, has now become a mid-tier team. During the first game, at the eight-minute mark, Xun successfully used his ultimate to gank JDG and secure first blood while controlling the three insects. From then on, the pace of the game was completely in JDG's hands, and at the 19-minute mark, they secured the dragon. Despite having such a significant advantage early on, BLG managed to drag the game into the late stage, and the match lasted over 40 minutes before JDG narrowly took the first game.
In the second game, BLG's jungler, Shadou, began to shine, securing first blood on the Bombardier at three minutes. At six minutes, On transformed into a cannon and successfully tanked the tower, allowing BLG to easily take down two of JDG's players and gain the upper hand in the fight. Ultimately, this match lasted only 27 minutes before BLG claimed victory. The third game was the most exciting one, where Wink's Alistar showcased top-tier bowing maneuvers. Although many of JDG's players gave their all in this match, especially top laner Xiao Xu, who performed like a high-level player, Wink's Alistar made repeated mistakes and couldn't find his rhythm. His numerous bowing errors led many fans to wonder if he had forgotten how to play this champion. Even many ordinary Gold and Diamond players can easily execute Alistar's double engage, yet he failed to do so.
After this match, although BLG is not the top team in the LPL region, they are the only team in the peak group with a perfect record. Currently, it seems that surpassing TES is just a matter of time, as they still have matches left to play. Their performance after each jungler change has consistently improved. In the post-match interview, jungler Shadou transformed into a comedian, seemingly on track to steal Bin's spotlight. Since his arrival, Bin hasn't received much criticism, perhaps because he hasn't had the chance to speak up.
Who would have thought that the once invincible JDG team would end up like this this season? It's important to note that during the transfer period, JDG spent a significant amount of money to assemble their current roster. Yet now, they have fallen to the bottom of the LPL peak group, completely out of reach of a World Championship spot. The newly added top laner Xiao Xu has been performing well, but the support Wink is indeed falling behind significantly.
What do you all think about this situation, dear viewers?
