Scout was crushed 1-8! JDG lost to BLG and their official account exploded, with fans angrily shouting: If the mid laner doesn't want to play, then just leave.

In the third stage of the LPL, BLG and JDG battled through three games in their BO3, ending with JDG falling 1-2 to BLG. Currently, JDG has only secured wins against WE and FPX this stage, showing poor form and ranking near the bottom, causing much debate and frustration among fans.

First, JDG’s official account was flooded with complaints, with many fans harshly criticizing Scout: If you don’t want to play, then just quit. He only performed normally in the first stage, declined in the second, and is even worse now in the third. If he’s not interested, he should retire. The top-paid player relying on a rookie top laner as the team leader is really hurting the team. Some fans bluntly said: Xiaoxu tried his best, but he couldn’t keep up with the mid lane’s mistakes.

Then, LPL official commentators Wang Duoduo and 957 discussed the reasons behind JDG’s defeat. They believed that JDG’s mid lane was killed solo early on and then lost further momentum after a failed jungle support, ruining their development. The mid lane gap was too large. This lineup needed Alora to provide AOE damage; after the Prince engaged, Alora was supposed to add damage, but it never materialized. Xiaoxu gave it his all this game, with a solo kill in lane and multiple counter-kills in team fights.

Finally, during the post-match interview, after losing the first game, support Zhuo openly admitted: In the first game, I made mistakes around the red buff area, which led to the opponents taking Baron.

Overall, Scout’s form this season has been poor for a long time, and the reasons are unclear. His skill level has dropped significantly this season. Apart from a few minor mistakes, there have been very few standout plays. Most of JDG’s losses are due to the mid lane being overwhelmed or making too many errors. If he doesn’t adjust soon, it might waste his teammates’ careers. The key point is that Scout is still the highest-paid player on the team — how can this performance be accepted? JDG’s management must be at a loss seeing this. This season has been a major failure for JDG, and it’s uncertain if we will see Scout in the LPL next year.

JDG’s last three matches are against AL and back-to-back games versus WBG. With their current form, a three-game losing streak seems very likely. Hopefully, they can quickly make adjustments because this roster shouldn’t be performing or placing this poorly.
