Introduction: The S15 season has officially begun, and I believe most players have been following the recent confrontations. The matches in the LPL region are very intense, and this season, the team that has left fans feeling helpless is probably JDG. During the transfer period, they made significant investments, even acquiring two top-tier Korean double Cs, yet they have ended up as a mid-tier team in the league this season, unable to even touch a Worlds spot. Recently, they once again changed their support player, with Zhuo appearing on JDG's roster, leading many players to joke that the strategist has cleverly arranged the future warrior Peyz from LCK.
Most players are quite familiar with JDG, as they are a well-known e-sports team in the LPL region, boasting high overall popularity and heat. Over the past few years, JDG's performance has been outstanding; when they had mid-laner Knight, they consistently ranked at the top of the LPL and even won the MSI championship. However, during the transfer period, they experienced some personnel adjustments. The top AD player Ruler returned to the LCK's Gen team, and they also secured the Korean double Cs. At the last moment of the transfer period, they poached Scout and Peyz from LNG, even causing some trouble for jungler Xiaotian.
Logically, their roster should be very strong and valuable, yet they did not perform well in the first and second segments of the matches. Before the start of the third segment, JDG changed their support player, resting Missing and bringing in Wink. Many fans were surprised by the decision to push out the veteran player, indicating that there might have been some internal conflicts. As a result, in the third segment, their performance was quite absurd; Wink, as the support player, even made multiple mistakes with Alistar's combo. After losing to IG, JDG underwent another personnel change, adding new players to the roster.
Support Zhuo has already appeared on JDG's roster. To be honest, I don't think Zhuo and Wink are significantly stronger than Missing; in fact, I believe Missing might perform better. The most troubled should be AD player Peyz. Last season, when he was with Gen, he was regarded as the strongest rookie AD in the LCK, with his overall state and mechanics at the forefront of the world. However, after coming to the LPL, he has been struggling, and even his older brother Scout's performance with JDG during this time has been quite poor, feeling like more than half of the lost matches were due to his mid-game mistakes.
After the roster announcement, many players joked that JDG is contributing to the LPL, with the strategist cleverly arranging the future warrior from the LCK. To be honest, after this season ends, it seems likely that Peyz will return to the LCK and will not stay with JDG any longer. Based on the current match performance, the teams that stand out are only three: BLG, TES, and IG, especially IG, which has been very stable in their rhythm lately; Gala even achieved five kills in two matches, and the team coordination has become increasingly harmonious.
It seems that the biggest issue for JDG right now is mid-laner Scout. He was once the top mid-laner in the LPL, even winning multiple regular-season MVPs in a row, but this season, he has made too many mistakes. Especially after the 30 million compensation, it feels like he has reached a point of complete decline; it's very likely he will retire after this season.
