Preface: The S16 season has officially started. I believe most players have been paying attention to the recent matches. The third stage of the LPL competition is very intense. From the current pace of the game, the lineup change of BLG has indeed had some impact on them. The performance of top laner Wenbo still has a gap compared to Bin. In the past two days, the training volume of IG has been maxed out. Theshy has played over 300 Korean solo queue games in a month and has started practicing black technology. Could it be that some AP mage heroes are about to make their professional debut under his hands?

Theshy's Korean solo queue training exceeds 300 games.

I believe most players are quite familiar with IG. As a traditional powerhouse in the LPL, their overall popularity and heat have fluctuated severely. Especially this season, after mid laner Rookie had some relationship issues, the entire IG team fell into a storm of public opinion. In the second stage, they even dropped directly into the revival group, becoming one of the bottom teams in the LPL. Before the start of the third stage, IG invested heavily in introducing several veteran players. The return of Rookie and Theshy completed this top-tier all-star lineup, with only the AD position missing.

In recent days, the attention on top laner Theshy has been very high. As the most popular professional player in the LPL for many consecutive years, his participation has made ticket sales extremely easy. Whenever he plays, tickets sell out instantly. Since his return, he has started high-intensity training. In just one month, he has played over 300 Korean solo queue games, and his account has reached rank 311 in Korea with 1827 LP in Master tier. His training form has been very stable, achieving an eight-game winning streak in Korea. Moreover, his training direction has shifted recently. He is no longer focusing on top lane champions but is paying close attention to some AP mages.

Currently, the most used champion is Syndra, but not in the top lane. He often uses her in the ADC and mid lane positions, with a very high win rate. In recent ranked games, he has only lost one. It's worth noting that even Riot Games has acknowledged the viability of AP champions in the bot lane, making mages particularly important. It is estimated that during team training, IG will also set up some tactics for him. The first match will be against his former team, WBG. Theshy's current form is likely at its peak. From the preview video, his eye contact with Xiaohu shows that the two still have a deep bond.

In the past two days, the roster changes of BLG have also worried many fans. Everyone hopes that Saint Sergeant can join BLG, which would make the lineup perfect. However, according to multiple sources, the distance between Saint Sergeant and BLG is growing, seemingly due to a price disagreement. Logically, BLG should have strong financial capabilities. Perhaps they still want Bin to continue as the starter. After all, even if he throws tantrums, he is still a top-tier top laner in the LPL. Few can surpass him in the game unless he makes impulsive plays and forces 1v1 fights.

Goodbye thinks

During this period, Theshy has indeed touched the hearts of many fans. Everyone hopes he can return to the game in good form. However, it seems that IG's results may not be particularly ideal. Last season, they were able to make it to the World Championship entirely due to the clutch plays of AD carry Gala. After replacing the most crucial starter, IG will likely sink like a stone.

What do you, the viewers, think about this matter?
