Introduction: The S16 season matches have officially started, and it’s believed that the majority of players have been watching the recent clashes closely. The LPL region’s competition is very fierce. Recently, there has been abundant news about the BLG team, with their second match against JDG becoming a hot topic among players online. The two teams delivered a back-and-forth comeback. After two consecutive games with massive economic comebacks, JDG seized the opportunity to defeat BLG 2-1 and completed a double sweep, rising to the top of the LPL standings. In the post-match interview, Knight sharply commented on HongQ, saying he is a player with very obvious pros and cons, a deep champion pool, but too young and aggressive.

Knight’s post-match sharp critique highlights HongQ’s clear strengths and weaknesses.

It is believed that most players are very focused on the JDG and BLG teams, which are currently among the strongest in the LPL region. From the overall matches so far, both teams have some issues, and their second encounter became a hot topic among players online. Who would have thought JDG managed a narrow but safe double victory over BLG, and after winning 2-1, they successfully climbed to the top of the LPL standings. The three games were very exciting, with both sides giving their all, but the mid-lane duel surprised many players as HongQ thoroughly suppressed LeftHand in all three games.

In the first game’s early phase, BLG once built a 7000 gold lead, but at 25 minutes, On initiated a fight and was instantly killed. JDG’s counterattack secured a 5-for-0 trade and took Baron. The situation reversed immediately, bringing both teams back to even. By the 37th minute, JDG took Baron and ended the game in one push, completing the comeback. In the second game, the script flipped: JDG had a large early advantage, extending the gold lead to 8000 by 21 minutes. In another Baron fight, BLG grouped up at 33 minutes, took Baron, scored a 3-for-0 trade to stop JDG’s Dragon Soul, and finished the game with a counterattack at 35 minutes.

In the third game, JDG’s support player Vampire performed exceptionally well. Many joked that it was like Keria had possessed him. Bard’s crucial ultimate saved Gala and JDG, effectively ending the team fight at the bottom lane in one decisive move. After this match, JDG achieved a double sweep over BLG in the two rounds. Although their records are currently equal, JDG holds the top spot in the LPL due to the head-to-head advantage. It must be said that Tabe’s coaching of support players is impressive; with former players On and Kael, plus now Vampire, could it be that another world-class support player is emerging?

In the post-match interview, BLG’s mid-laner Knight also sharply critiqued HongQ. LeftHand commented that HongQ’s strengths and weaknesses are very clear: he is very young, has a deep champion pool, and tends to play aggressively. This statement quickly sparked heated discussion among players online. After all, HongQ was completely dominated in the recent matches. LeftHand has indeed won many regional championships before, but his confidence in this interview seemed unusually high. Many warned LeftHand not to imitate Bin’s arrogance and to remain humble, or else his words might backfire later.

Farewell thoughts

I guess no one expected the two rounds between JDG and BLG to play out like this. Before the matches, BLG had better roster balance and player form than JDG. Yet on the stage, neither the mid lane nor the AD carry performed well, while two JDG players showed more stability. LeftHand should quickly adjust his form; the current pace feels even slower than the S15 season.

What do you all think about this situation, dear viewers?
