Many viewers were concerned about JDG's future when this team announced its famous coach.

LPL fans worry that JDG will "go downhill without stopping" in the 2025 season

On the IG side, JDG is also a team that generated a lot of attention in this year's transfer window. The former MSI 2023 king brought back extremely notable names such as Scout, Peyz or Xun from BLG. These are all big players, former LCK/LPL champions or like Scout, the former champion of Worlds 2021. Even JDG's new coach is not a small name at all when they recruited coach cvMax from KDF .

JDG really "played big" in the transfer window when they brought in Scout and Peyz

In addition, coach cvMax is also a notable new name for JDG

However, the new captain JDG makes LPL fans worried about the future of this team. The reason comes from the fact that cvMax's performance in recent years has been relatively bad when the teams led by this coach are all quite bad. Even in the last 2024 season, cvMax's highest achievement was only reaching the top 6 of LCK Spring 2024 with KDF and this team was also eliminated immediately afterwards. Therefore, many JDG fans are pessimistic and believe that cvMax will cause this team to "go downhill" in the upcoming 2025 season.

"cvMax was like a god of war in the group stage and in the playoffs he was out of luck. KDF had a few good matches in the group stage but they played very poorly in the second leg and couldn't even get into the top 6. This coach definitely has "It greatly affects the players' psychology so they won't play well when they enter the playoffs" - One player commented

"cvMax is only suitable for finding talent" - Another gamer sarcastically shared

"Calling cvMax as Korean Kenzhu is a contempt for Kenzhu" - Another player frankly commented

"Have you guys forgotten everything? cvMax's wrong pick/ban decisions ruined Griffin" - Another gamer concluded

Coach cvMax needs to prove many things at JDG

Indeed, when looking at coach cvMax's achievements in recent years, it is understandable that JDG fans are worried. Furthermore, in the past 3 years, cvMax has not coached any top team in the LCK. Therefore, cvMax's experience fighting on big stages and under high pressure is also highly doubted by audiences who have high expectations for JDG.

In the last 2 seasons, coach cvMax's KDF did not have impressive results

It is important to know that for JDG, their goal in the upcoming 2025 season will definitely be to regain glory and titles (at least in the LPL region). The fact that they brought in top stars like Pulse, Scout and Peyz is the clearest proof of this. If coach cvMax does not have enough courage to lead JDG, this team will probably experience another year of failure after a completely empty 2024 season as well as fail to attend Worlds.

Coach cvMax will need to prove many things when leading the all-star squad of JDG 2025

To be fair, joining a big team like JDG is a big challenge and opportunity for coach cvMax. This coach in the past was famous for training young players when he introduced a series of famous names such as Chovy, Viper, Lehends, Kanavi... while working at Griffins. By joining JDG, coach cvMax will have the opportunity to lead a very strong team and compete for the regional title in the upcoming 2025 season. If he succeeds in reviving JDG, coach cvMax will completely make all doubts about him disappear.
