LPL Opening Match Tragedy, JKL's 0-22 Record Leaves Him Humiliated, TheShy and Uzi Still Too Strong

Hello to all LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is World Game Hub.

The second phase of LPL kicked off tonight with an opening match showdown. The first game was packed with highlights, featuring TES versus IG. Both teams have many veteran players returning, and their strengths appear quite comparable.

However, TES was swept by IG with a 2-0 score, creating a new "opening match tragedy."

JKL Faces Utter Humiliation, The Shy's Value Increases

Previously, before the LPL opening match, TES played a BO3 against AL and was swept 2-0. In that match, 369 had a 1-13 record across two games, leading him to lose confidence and announce a break from competition. TES then introduced a new top laner, Zuian.

Due to 369's break, discussions focused on him, overlooking another TES player who performed poorly: JKL. In the match against AL, JKL had a 0-11 record across two games, also an absurd performance.

In today's match against IG, JKL's form remained low. He posted records of 0-5 and 0-6 in the two games. Thus, since his return, JKL's KDA over four small games is 0-22, a complete humiliation. As a bot lane player, failing to secure any kills nearly sets the worst record for a returning player.

It can be said that JKL single-handedly boosted the credibility of three major players' returns: Uzi, Doinb, and The Shy. These three had been away from the arena for at least a year, yet upon returning, they performed decently, not hindering teammates, and even had occasional standout moments. But JKL, after just a few months' break, saw his form plummet drastically.

TES Worse Than First Phase, IG's New Mid Laner Debuts

Returning to the match recap, TES was crushed by IG in both games. In the first game, TES initially played decently; Tian successfully ganked the bot lane repeatedly, while IG retaliated by targeting bot lane, causing JKL to start with a poor record. During this, a scene occurred where JKL recalled on a ward and was hit by Ashe's ultimate.

JKL's biggest mistake in this game was being isolated in the先锋团战, exposed to Nocturne's vision and easily killed. After this death, TES's rhythm fell apart.

Afterward, whenever a team fight started, JKL was almost instantly targeted and killed, ending with a 0-6 record.

In the second game, TES collapsed early. During a top lane duel where both sides called for help, IG secured the first kill, then also killed the jungler to open up the game.

Soon after, TES's bot lane also collapsed, being killed in lane with both players dying. JKL again embarked on his death journey; his Corki developed poorly, and mid lane he was outplayed by Jiaqi Yunana. The newly substituted top laner Zuian also suffered a solo kill. Conversely, IG's new mid laner Renard performed excellently, with strong KDA stats in both games.

Neglecting Training During Break, Needs to Find Competitive Feel

Actually, poor form after a break is normal. But as a top professional player, one should maintain training during breaks, playing high-level RANK daily to keep手感, then undergo intense training upon return to regain form.

While one might not perform perfectly right after returning, they shouldn't drag the team down. JKL's situation severely hinders the team, largely due to neglecting training during the break.

Currently, among multiple LPL players returning to the arena, JKL has the worst form. From lane performance, macro awareness to positioning and操作 in team fights, he is basically at the bottom of the league. Personally, as a champion bot laner, such performance is indeed unacceptable, greatly disappointing his supporters.

Next, JKL must intensify his training. Compared to other returning players, JKL bears a heavier burden. He receives higher pay and is TES's absolute core; he must regain his form, otherwise it will be highly detrimental to the team and his own career.
