IG was defeated by AL, suffering a severe beating! Fans exploded on the official blog: the top lane matchup was too poor! wei, stop picking Wukong!

In the LPL third segment, IG faced AL in a BO3. After two intense games, IG lost to AL with a score of 0-2, suffering two crushing defeats. Although IG has been performing well recently, this loss was quite frustrating and sparked a lot of controversy.

Initially, the IG official blog exploded after the match, with many fans expressing their anger: Sion can't beat Aphelios, and Aphelios can't beat Sion; theshy's laning really needs more practice! Some fans also criticized wei: he always performs poorly when playing Wukong, so stop practicing champions in matches! Furthermore, some fans bluntly stated: only Gala tried his best, while others had issues. Of course, there are fans worried about the upcoming matches against TES and BLG, fearing a potential three-game losing streak!

LPL official commentators Wang Duoduo and Gu Gu also discussed the reasons for IG's defeat. They believe that AL's victory was more about strategy; on one hand, Tarzan's Poppy repeatedly knocked Gala's Ezreal out of fights, leaving IG without a core damage dealer. On the other hand, in the draft phase, AL had three frontliners, making it difficult for Ezreal to deal with them. Additionally, IG's handling of side lanes was inadequate; in the second game, the strong performance of Saint's Sion, who was able to farm well and had an advantage in lane, was key to AL's victory. Moreover, IG's jungler fell too far behind in tempo. Overall, IG did not establish an aggressive rhythm early on, despite needing to play proactively with their composition; instead, the pace remained in AL's hands.

Finally, in the post-match interview, IG's coach Danny stated: losing this match was due to shortcomings in both the draft and gameplay. This acknowledges issues in their draft while also pointing out that the players' performance was not up to par.

In summary, IG made many mistakes in this match, with players appearing to be in poor form, making numerous operational and decision-making errors. The disadvantage in the top lane was also a serious problem, as they had a Sion who couldn't deal damage, and after a failed gank in the bot lane, they still attempted to dive, which directly led to chaos in the jungle. If IG can secure a victory against TES and BLG in their tough upcoming schedule, it will likely restore some confidence among fans. However, if they face a three-game losing streak, it might even affect the players' mental state.

As for AL, based on this match, it seems they have returned to their previous operational rhythm. Against IG's Wukong and Aphelios composition, AL played very steadily, giving no opportunities. Their draft and tactics were well-designed, and the players executed them effectively. Their operations were tight, and teamfight coordination was seamless, seemingly reminiscent of the AL from the second segment. Hopefully, they can continue to improve!
