Recently, the 2023 LPL Spring Regular Season ushered in the showdown between iG and WE. This game for iG, as long as they can win, there is still a great chance to advance to the playoffs; For WE, once lost, coupled with the subsequent confrontment of a strong team like WBG, this game is equivalent to WE's life and death battle. But in the end, it was WE that successfully seized the opportunity and swept iG with an aggregate score of 2-0.
Judging from the performance of the players on both sides in this match, although YSKM in the iG position did not play the effect of taking out the sword in the first game, in the second game, YSKM's knife girl killed Biubiu in a row. However, the two games YSKM actually encountered similar situations. Although he gained a certain advantage in the matchmaking period in two consecutive games, iG's Nakano and Duolu encountered restrictions on the success of WE. In particular, iG's double road Ahn and Wink, whether it is a line or a team battle, were crushed by WE double road Hope and Iwandy. It can only be said that this game YSKM also tried its best.
After iG's defeat to WE, they currently have a 7-6 record. While it still looks like there's a good chance of qualifying for the playoffs, their opponents in the final three games of the iG regular season will face NIP, LNG and BLG challenges in the remaining three games. Although according to the current situation of iG, even if the performance is not good, there is still a good chance to win the NIP. However, when facing the two teams of LNG and BLG, with the current performance of iG, it is still quite hanging. Because if iG can't beat LNG and BLG, their regular season record is 8-8. Although 8-8 still has a chance to advance to the playoffs, because iG has lost games 0-2 recently, they do not have much advantage in small points. In other words, whether they can advance to the playoffs with an 8-8 record may depend more on the faces of other teams.
In addition, judging from all the regular season performances that iG has experienced so far, they did play quite well at the beginning of the season, winning 5 games in 6 games. Because of their excellent performance, the young iG finally won the favor of sponsors. Unfortunately, just after getting sponsors, iG began to decline. Of course, on the one hand, this does have something to do with the iG schedule; But on the other hand, perhaps more because the current iG has been thoroughly studied by opponents. On the road, YSKM is partial to the warrior's hero pool, Tano Gideon seems to be only good at burpee and big trees, Dove in the middle plays decently, and the two-person road is actually very easy to target. These are the problems that this iG urgently needs to solve at present.
In the end, the iG team still has potential, but their growth is not as fast as imagined. And can this young iG make it to the playoffs? Let's wait and see!
