Introduction: The S15 season has officially begun, and I believe most players have been following the recent competitions closely. The third phase of the LPL region has been very fierce. The IG team, which has garnered a lot of attention, faced off against JDG, sparking much discussion among players. No one expected this matchup to end in a swift 2-0 sweep, with both a crushing defeat and a mid-game comeback. After the match, everyone surprisingly praised JDG for being so considerate, as IG's support player Meiko was selected as the torchbearer for the World Games. Therefore, he immediately headed to Chengdu after the match, even skipping the post-match interview.

JDG is just too understanding.

Most players are familiar with the IG team, which has undergone many adjustments over the years. This time, they have assembled an incredibly luxurious roster, and fans hope they can achieve good results this season and compete in the World Championship. After the second phase, JDG also made significant personnel changes during the transfer period, swapping out their support player, top laner, and coach, forming a completely new team. They even acquired the legendary first-generation leader, but in this match, JDG's overall performance was not particularly stable, and it could even be described as full of flaws.

In the first game, IG displayed a dominating performance, with Wei's Troll making a crucial support play in the bottom lane just six minutes in, allowing AD Gala to secure first blood easily. In the 17th-minute team fight, Rookie's Sylas, aided by Alistar's ultimate, executed a flawless one-for-five trade. In the subsequent team fights, IG gave JDG no chances at all, successfully forcing a fight at the Baron pit and decisively ending the match. This showdown lasted only 26 minutes and 28 seconds, making it feel like the teams were on completely different levels.

In the second match, just four minutes in, Xun collaborated with the bottom duo to dive the tower and secured first blood on Gala. By the ninth minute, JDG had successfully gathered multiple players to dive and kill two members of IG, gaining the upper hand. For the first 20 minutes, JDG maintained an advantage, but in the 20th-minute dragon fight, Gala's deadly performance hit perfectly, resulting in an unbelievable team fight victory and securing the dragon. In the 25th-minute team fight, IG won consecutively, playing each engagement very cautiously, ultimately achieving a perfect comeback, sweeping JDG 2-0, with Wei also earning two MVP awards in this match.

After the match, JDG became increasingly understanding and made it to the trending topics, mainly because IG announced that support player Meiko was selected as a torchbearer for the World Games and needed to rush to the venue, thus unable to participate in the post-match group interview. This led to a lot of fans joking that JDG lost the match quickly so Meiko could attend the event. Of course, this is a supreme honor, as this major event is being held here for the first time, with most events being non-Olympic sports in an international multi-sport competition. During the post-match interview, Rookie was also very happy, and “didn't deceive us” trended, highlighting the stark contrast with top laner Bin.

Goodbye is considered

No one expected that JDG would lose the match and still trend in this way; it really feels a bit like a bittersweet situation. Meanwhile, Meiko's super topic has also posted several photos with the first-generation leader, welcoming him back to the professional stage. It must be admitted that the two are definitely both teacher and friend, and very good brothers. Back when they were on the EDG team, they formed a fantastic jungle-support duo, and now they have gone their separate ways, each developing in different directions.

What do you think about this situation, dear viewers?
