The short off-season during the Spring Festival is finally over, and the LPL will resume on February 10, with two BO3 matches on the day, iG vs. RA and JDG vs. WE. In the previous year's competition JDG achieved a record of 2 wins and 2 losses, hope's appearance and 369 status recovery make JDG extremely competitive, and WE has not yet tasted a win because of the big blood change. The RA, on the other hand, was only able to defeat TES in 4 games due to the unstable state of iBoy and Xiao Leyan, which made them want to win this showdown with iG to end the losing streak.
Taking the lead in the iG vs. RA at 17:00 p.m., both teams are currently in the middle and lower LPL, and the state of the season can be said to be erratic while keeping the roster big framework unchanged. Their easy 2-0 victory over TES in the first game of the new season made many spectators optimistic about them, but then the three games ushered in a three-game losing streak, of which the impact of iBoy and Xiao Leyan on the team was obvious to all.
Their opponent in this game is iG, which has been completely rebuilt this season, and in addition to the stay of Xun and Lucas last season' starters, the departure of Rookie and The Shy will inevitably hit the strength of iG. The embarrassing record of only 1 win in the first five games is enough to prove the dilemma of iG this season. Of course, the decision to restructure and bring up new people has been made, which means that iG may have to develop new talents in recent seasons.
Although RA is also in a losing streak, the strength of the lineup on paper is still much stronger than that of iG, after all, RA's lineup has been relatively run-in for a long time, Cube, XiaoLeyan and iBoy, although they are all playing unpredictably, they are indeed recognized players in the LPL. According to the data given by the pre-game professional e-sports prediction platform, the RA of this game has the upper hand with 1.41, and the iG that has enabled a large number of new people this season is still much inferior to the RA in terms of paper strength.
The second game of the day was JDG against WE, both teams had great personnel adjustments during the transfer period, of which WE experienced a wave of major changes from the original league first-class strong team to the current league bottom of the league, enough to see that after losing Elk, Breathe and other players, WE has become a weak team at the end of the league. Shanks alone struggled to support himself, but he still couldn't help the team win the first victory.
In contrast, although jdg did not have a satisfactory record at the beginning of the new season, with the return of Hope, the real starter AD, JDG also began to win back. Although this JDG has just been formed and is still in the run-in period, it has produced a good chemical reaction, especially the progress of the road 369 is obvious to all. Not only is the playing style more in line with the team, but the individual ability and the strength of the hero pool are also reflected through the competition.
The gap between the two teams can also be seen from the results alone, after all, we currently use a large number of new talents to have a poor record, but the JDG has become more and more popular with the appearance of Hope. In addition to the showdown between Shanks and Toothpaste in the middle of the road may still be suspenseful, the other positions of JDG are obviously the more dominant side. Therefore, according to the data given by the pre-game professional e-sports prediction platform, this duel JDG crushed WE with 1.37, obviously the WE total defeat record of the previous game made it difficult to look at them, and the paper strength of the JDG is indeed much stronger than the opponent.
The current problem with WE is that due to the large number of new people in the rebuilding lineup, it lacks experience and tacit understanding among the players. In terms of paper strength, they also need time to continue to grow, and there is indeed a big gap with the JDG after today's reinforcement. If you want to beat a strong enemy to win the first victory for yourself, WE's middle road Shanks may be the only breakthrough.
