Only participating in the Demacia Cup, but an LPL superstar squad received "bitter consequences".

Normally, large regions like LPL or LCK will have a showmatch tournament for teams after the transfer season to have the opportunity to announce their new season lineup, as well as for members to get to know each other in real matches. the. However, big teams do not always have the desired results even though this is just a... "village pond" tournament. Take the case of JD Gaming at the recent Demacia Cup 2024 as an example.

JDG's "all-star" squad received its first defeat

In the second oldest tournament, LPL, JDG, with a squad full of players who will fight in the upcoming new season, including rookies like Ale, or Scout - Peyz, was quickly eliminated. Although they won 2 victories, they unexpectedly lost to ThunderTalk Gaming and finished second in Group C and had to accept elimination.

They were eliminated after 3 BO1 matches of the 2024 Demacia Cup group stage

As for rookie Peyz, in the debut tournament in China, he did not show enough impression. It's true that it's only BO1 matches, but TT knows how to take advantage of opportunities while JDG doesn't.

LPL is not easy for "Super ADC" Peyz

Moving to LPL, Peyz once again took the place of his senior Ruler. However, JDG is not Gen.G and around Peyz now there are no absolutely excellent teammates at his position like when he was in the LCK.

Furthermore, when Ruler moved to LPL, he affirmed his talent and reputation. Meanwhile, Peyz only has the LCK and MSI championships to "capitalize". But the important thing is that Peyz's playing style has always been in the form of "one shot, four slaves". This is only suitable when the team builds its playing style around him, or he is a Ruler-caliber superstar.

Peyz will still face many difficulties ahead

It's unclear whether JDG can create the best environment for Peyz to develop, but he has begun to struggle. Furthermore, Peyz came to JDG in a transfer drama and it would not be an exaggeration to say Demacia Cup 2024 is just the beginning. The upcoming journey of Peyz as well as JDG may be even more arduous.
