Recently, the fourth week of the League of Legends 2022 LPL Spring Season regular season ushered in the V5 vs. IG showdown. As a former IG ace player, this match is rookie's first time facing her old club since leaving IG. In the end, V5 completed the let one chase two after falling behind first, and successfully defeated IG with a 2-1 aggregate score, once again winning two consecutive games.
But interestingly, although IG lost to V5, and before this game began, I believe most people also felt that V5 could win IG. However, in the face of the predecessor Rookie, the newcomers of IG still played a more wonderful performance. I have to say that to some extent, the performance of these newcomers in this game can also be regarded as gratifying to Rookie.
The first game can be described as a solo show of the fledgling IG newcomer on single Zika. When facing the V5 single player Rich, Zika's one-handed barbarian king almost "passed" the road. It was also because of Zika's excellent performance in the first set that IG won the first set very easily.
However, in the second and third sets, IG clearly lost to BP, especially in two consecutive games where the blind monk was released to Karsa. The blind monk, you know, is the most confident and used hero of Karsa's career. If the second game was to give V5 the blind monk to win the card and the double road, then it is obviously a bit undeserved to release the blind monk again in the third game BP. In the second and third sets, Karsa's blind monks played a key role, and Karsa won two consecutive games of MVP with the blind monk's excellent performance. I have to say that the newcomers to IG do have good talent, but in terms of event experience and tactical BP, it is obviously still a little immature.
In addition to Karsa, Rookie's performance in these three games was also quite good. When facing IG's single Yuekai, Rookie played a certain amount of pressure in three consecutive sets. However, it is interesting that if you pay attention to Rookie's previous game, compared to this one, you can actually clearly feel that Rookie's "killing heart" is actually not particularly heavy. That is to say, Rookie still has some of his subordinates to be merciful when facing his old owner.
In addition to the mercy of the men in the game, when the V5 won the game and the two players were boxing, there was also a warm scene on the field. Rookie gave a smile of encouragement when facing every young IG player, and even patted some of the players on the shoulder, as if to encourage and cheer them up. And that seems to be the only thing Rookie can do for IG.
Dear friends, what do you think?
