Introduction: The S15 season has officially commenced, and it's believed that most players have been following the recent competitions closely. The third phase of the LPL region is about to begin, with the starting rosters of various teams recently announced. The excitement of the first day's matches was intense, and the release of the starting lineup sparked considerable discontent among fans, leading to public support for Jiejie in the super topic. After the jungler Wei joined, he immediately secured a starting position, proving that his performance in recent training matches has indeed improved; otherwise, it wouldn't be this way. Moreover, according to netizen leaks, Jiejie seems not to have gone to the base yet.
It's believed that the majority of players are quite focused on the IG team. As a prominent team in the LPL region, they performed decently in the second phase, finishing as runners-up with a strong overall ranking. If their performance stabilizes in the third phase, they still have a chance to vie for a world championship spot in the LPL. During this offseason, the IG team engaged in numerous discussions and ultimately decided to bring in jungler Wei. There were even rumors of escalating internal conflicts, but after the roster was announced, fans breathed a sigh of relief; if support Meiko really leaves, it seems there wouldn't be suitable replacements.
As the third phase of the competition is about to begin, the IG team's starting lineup has been officially announced. Initially, it was thought that Jiejie would receive some respect, but he was unexpectedly replaced by Wei. Fans erupted in reactions; some cheered, while others voiced their discontent, especially EDG fans who found it hard to accept Jiejie's benching. To be honest, in the first two phases, he had some standout moments, but his performance fluctuated too much—sometimes brilliant, sometimes lackluster—which cost the IG team some victories. However, it cannot be denied that he made significant contributions to the team.
From the leaks, it appears that the IG players are all set, but Jiejie's presence is notably absent. It seems that, as previously reported, Jiejie might not want to compete with IG anymore and could be taking a break during this period. From the Korean server's ranked games, it can be seen that he stopped training on the 14th, seemingly in silent protest. However, once everything settled down, he logged into his account late at night and played six ranked games, using six different champions, achieving MVP in five of them. In one game with Qiyana, he even posted a 5-0-3 record, which serves as a demonstration of his ongoing skill.
Wei's first match for IG will be against the top jungler Kanavi from the LPL region. All fans are eagerly watching this match, whether they support IG, RNG, or EDG. Everyone is looking forward to it. If Wei can secure a victory, he might have a smooth path in subsequent matches, and the online mockery and ridicule will lessen. However, if he loses, a flood of criticism will follow. It remains to be seen if he can withstand the pressure, as the collective power of the fans is indeed substantial.
Who would have thought that the rumors surrounding the IG team would come to an end like this? The outcome seems to be the two brothers' resistance ending in failure, with jungler Jiejie benched and the newly signed Wei taking the starting position. To be honest, this adjustment isn't too problematic. Anyone who has watched the matches can sense that Jiejie's form has not been particularly stable; being benched is also to add some pressure on him. If he consistently performed at a top level, like Tarzan, IG would certainly not allow him to be benched.
What do you all think about this situation, viewers?
