LPL's “full star” squad receives poor results at Demacia Cup
Typically, large areas such as LPL or LCK will have a showmatch for teams after the transfer season with the opportunity to announce the new season, as well as let members get acquainted with each other in real matches. However, the big teams do not always have the desired results even though this is just a … “village pond”. As the case of JD Gaming at the 2024 Demacia Cup is an example.
JDG's “full star” squad received the first defeat
In the oldest tournament LPL, JDG with the squad of all players will fight in the new season, including rookies like ALE, or Scout – Peyz have been quickly eliminated. Although they won 2 victories, they lost unexpectedly to Thundertalk Gaming and ranked second in Group C and had to accept elimination.
They were eliminated after 3 bo1 matches of the Demacia Cup group stage 2024
Particularly rookie Peyz, in the debut tournament of China, he did not show enough impression. Granted, it was only the Battle of Bo1, but TT knows how to take advantage of the opportunity and JDG is not.
LPL is not easy for Peyz “super gunner”
Switch to LPL competition, Peyz once again gives the Ruler senior himself. However, JDG is not Gen.G and around Peyz now there are no excellent teammates almost absolutely in his position as he is in LCK.
Moreover, when Ruler went to LPL, it was time for him to assert his talent and reputation. Meanwhile, Peyz only has LCK and MSI championships to “make capital”. But the important thing, is the play of Peyz before in the form of “the most slave”. This is only suitable when the team that built the game around him, or he was a ruler superstar.
Peyz will still face many difficulties ahead
It is unclear whether JDG can create the best environment for Peyz to develop or not, but he has started to face difficulties. Moreover, Peyz went to JDG in a transfer drama and would not exceed when saying Demacia Cup 2024 was just the beginning. Peyz's upcoming journey as well as JDG may be even more difficult.
