In the League of Legends village, if the LCK area is widened, there are JD Gaming and Weibo Gaming, which are the teams that can be considered enough to be able to serve with the Genes.G, T1. However, a feature of LPL teams is quite a relaxed form. Typically, the cases of Royal Never Give Up, Edward Gaming after winning international titles. Particularly, only Invictus Gaming and Funplus Phoenix are actually retaining the peak for a while before going into the “car traces” like other LPL teams.
JDG is a rare team of LPL to retain the top form after winning titles from the country
However, JDG is different. After winning the MSI 2023, they still dominated LPL and in fact they were still very strong in 2024 even though they had just missed an appointment with “Golden Road” cum “Grand Slam title” in the past year after defeat before T1. But, recently, JDG and FPX have created a real “big explosion” when the defending champion LPL was “phoenix” with a collection of young players and underestimated than defeated.
JDG 2024 is still very strong and is at the top of the Spring LPL 2024 but recently they suddenly collapsed before FPX
The LPL community immediately exploded with this victory of FPX. In particular, the Milkyway player – 1 of 2 rookies in the FPX squad (along with the mid lane Care) received countless compliments. Milkyway is the leading player of the POG rankings of the LPL group in the Spring 2024. Even the audience frankly commented: “This may be the most impressive and excellent rookie in League since Faker.”
LPL audience spent a lot of praise for Milkyway
– “FPX played well, Milkyway played well, Life played well. Meanwhile, Ruler was completely destroyed in game 2 and he did not even play games”
– “This is the first time I watched a match of FPX and I immediately became a loyal fan of Milkyway”
– “Milkyway is probably becoming the best rookie after Faker”
Previously, in League of Legends village every year welcomed new rookies. But perhaps, only Faker was right in the debut period that made a series of trophies with SKT T1 (then SKT T1 2). Right in the debut, Faker took his first consumption from Ambition – the legend at that time still played in the middle line and confirmed the name. After that, he also “shut down” always of Ryu's zed – the general considered as the brand of this legend and created one of the most classic highlight phases of League of Legends history.
Milkyway is playing extremely impressively in FPX shirt
It will probably be too early to confirm that Milkyway can really make miracles like Faker. But in the immediate future, he helped FPX win against JDG, helping Life complete the “revenge” of the entire Line-up of EDG 2021 and help Deokdam to win the Ruler for the first time. In a way, these are also very unlikely and more miracles and more, Milkyway has just started her promising career.
