A completely different face of the MSI 2023 JDG champion when he lost to WBG 2 – 0 in the LPL Summer Split.
One of the world’s top League of Legends LPL Summer tournaments entered its fourth day of competition with two pairs of matches featuring the champion and runner-up of MSI 2023: OMG vs BLG and WBG vs JDG. After a successful MSI, the LPL players continued to work hard to prepare for ASIAD 2022 as well as the Summer tournament to compete for tickets to Worlds. While the runner-up was BLG who played very well and won overwhelmingly against OMG, JDG showed the complete opposite when losing to WBG with a score of 0 – 2.
In the first game, both teams chose for themselves the “two-shot tamno”, but Weibo Gaming’s lineup is considered better when it has a huge source of magic damage from the army. Syndra in Xiaohu’s hand. Meanwhile, the JDG lineup doesn’t have too much magic damage output, plus TheShy’s pick for Malphite, the WBG’s ban phase is much better. Besides, with all the WBG players having a very good laning phase, it didn’t take too long for this team to crush the MSI 2023 champion in the first game. After only 26 minutes of play, Jingdong Gaming lost with a difference in the number of kills: 1 – 14.

Entering the second game, JDG has made new choices in his roster compared to the current meta, which is the bot pair Lucian Nami and Neeko in the mid lane. WBG still chooses a normal frame like other matches.
With a fairly comprehensive lineup, WBG must be able to control the variable from JDG’s novel bot and mid lane cards. And they did this really well. Weibo Gaming still got off to a good start even though their mid laner and jungle pair were a bit behind the opponent. Even in the middle of the game when top laner TheShy played a game of throwing games, constantly putting money in 369’s pockets, his teammates still did too well to lose to JDG. WBG’s AD carry Light performed brilliantly against Alphelios with KDA 5/1/3, directly ending the second game at 33 minutes.
Thus, Jingdong Gaming – the reigning champion of MSI 2023 had an opening match of the LPL Summer that couldn’t be worse with this white loss.
