At LPL Spring 2024, Bilibili Gaming (BLG) and JD Gaming (JDG) are currently rare teams to keep the unbeaten circuit. In the case of JDG, JDG's rivals in the recent period are mostly horns like Nip or LNG. This makes the victory of Ruler and teammates more convincing.
JDG and BLG are rare teams at LPL Spring 2024 have not lost any matches
JDG's great contribution to the past success is a familiar name called Ruler. Former World Worlds 2017 is the player with the largest damage contribution with 33.5% of the total damage of JDG. This shows that Ruler is an important “source of life” of JDG and is fully overwhelming the LPL Spring LPols in 2024 in the Gunner position.

Despite such shine, LPL media rated Ruler as a “potential danger” for JDG itself. The reason from JDG is too dependent on this player to win when other positions like Yagao or Flandre are hard to shine. If Ruler could not take advantage in the beginning of the match, this team would likely fall into a “deadlock”.
Sohu complaints about Ruler's damage index: “The damage statistics at LPL become a hot topic: The influence of the Ruler is too great is the potential danger for JDG”.
In the LPL arena, this does not happen too much when the Ruler proved to “out the process” completely the gunner in this area. However, when walking to international tournaments, the risk of the game around the Ruler was pushed up very high. Typically at Worlds 2023 when the Gumayusi – Keria duo plays too well and makes Ruler unable to overwhelm the lower lane as usual. As a result, JDG was bitterly eliminated and could not complete the “Grand Slam title” in 2023.
JDG and Ruler had a bitter failure against T1 at Worlds 2023 when it was impossible to deploy their familiar gameplay
To be fair, Ruler's overwhelming form also comes from the fact that he does not have a big deal big enough at LPL. The most worth mentioning names such as Elk or Jackkeylove are all “generals” of Ruler itself in the 2023 season. About JDG, it is easy to understand when they play around an excellent player like former World Worlds 2017.
The current LPL does not seem to have enough gunner players who are good enough to do opposites
With the “destructive” performance of Ruler, it is not too surprising that JDG and JDG in the 2024 LPL title. Perhaps it was not until the international tournaments took place that this player met the real counterpart from LCK. Just play successfully and win the title with JDG, the complaints about the Ruler will definitely disappear without traces.
