After a disappointing Worlds 2023, JD Gaming (JDG) changed personnel to look forward to the new season. However, the fact that this team recruited a new 18 -year -old player, never even played at LDL, Sheer, surprised many people. Combined with their “young” appearance, many LPL viewers suspected that sheer was in fact not old enough.
Sheer's appearance makes many viewers doubt about their real age
And after the first 2 matches of JDG at LPL Spring 2024, this young player has never played for a minute. So although JDG still won convincing victories, this team is still the focus of rumors in the LPL area. Many people also think that JDG's young star has received a certain sentence because they are not old enough to play, so sheer does not play in the past.
Flandre is the top laner of JDG in both the last 2 matches
These are obviously rumors that are very detrimental to JDG as well as the individual of the Sheer player. They can make public opinion as well as fans suspect this team and reduce confidence in JDG in the future. So as soon as the above rumor showed signs of spreading, JDG quickly spoke up to clarify the case.
“Recently, there has been a lot of false information about the Sheer player banned from competition at LPL for age fraud. We (JDG) would like to confirm that the team always complies with the provisions of the tournament and does not violate the regulations on the player's age. JDG will continue to monitor these rumors as evidence. full of “steel” after malicious rumors.
JDG said: “To tell the rights of JDG and Sheer, we will take strong measures to solve the rumors.”
To be fair, Sheer is a young player and lacks professional experience. Therefore, JDG has left an experienced person like Flandre to play in the Spring LPL 2024. Meanwhile, Sheer will need to take advantage of this time to learn and gain experience. This may be a reasonable development roadmap for JDG when they do not rush to “squeeze” their young talents too soon.
JDG may consider Sheer to be a part of the team
With the above “steel” sharing of the JDG side, fans can rest assured that sheer meets the requirements of age at LPL. The fact that this player has not been officially played is probably the intention of the JDG side to help Sheer gain more experience. Hopefully, with such a thorough care, sheer will have the steps of fast development and successful competition in the future.
