IG fails to Tes, fans show pessimism
After a noisy transfer, IG emerged as a “new hope” of the LPL area. With the ownership of a star and many Worlds champions, IG makes fans hope for a strong team, conquering many titles. And this belief is strengthened when Thery and his teammates have a dream starting at Demacia Cup 2024 when Toan won in the group stage convincingly.
IG had a dream start with 3 matches in the group stage of Demacia Cup 2024
However, the recent “disaster” loss before TES was like a “cold water” to IG and the fans. In this match, IG was completely lost to the opponent in the ability to travel to the combined combination phase. Even when falling into a “macro” ability and moving the squad on the map, IG also failed completely against the opponent. As a result, they were defeated by TES with a score of 2-0 quickly and eliminated from the Demacia Cup 2024.

Perhaps it was too expected of IG before, so after they lost to TES, many viewers turned to criticize this team. Not stopping there, the fact that IG failed too quickly and did not have the “resistance” as above made the fans of the home team extremely pessimistic. Especially in the context that many LPL teams have invested in large quality rookies in the recent transfer period.
“Out of hope, IG plays without any discipline” – a bitter audience commented
“IG has two big issues: coordination and organizing the game too bad, they do not understand anything about moving on the map” – another audience frankly shared.
“This is not the old versions when you can win by squeezing. The teams need to focus on organizing the squad, taking resources for Snowball. And IG just makes a big mistake in the later stage” – another gamer shared that
IG still has a lot of things to improve
Of course, in terms of achievement, Demacia Cup also stopped at a friendly tournament and tested the squad. Therefore, IG failures also does not affect the achievements of this team in the upcoming season. However, the defeat before TES showed that IG was playing too risky and lacking in control needed to win against strong opponents.
IG's adventure has paid expensive when they are too fighting and leaving the opponent with many defeated networks
This gameplay can help IG winning the matches but can also cause them to fail miserably. Obviously with a team with many superstars and putting the ambition to win the championship, this game is not suitable at all. Therefore, the LPL audience is reasonable when it is pessimistic about the future of IG in the upcoming 2025 season. Perhaps in the near future, the IG team still needs a lot more effort to improve the performance and stability in the game. If this does not do this, the tragic losses like before TES will probably appear extremely dense and make it difficult for IG to compete on the title, at least at LPL.
