IG “New” Shines at Demacia Cup 2024
The Demacia Cup 2024 is a unique tournament within the LPL, taking place right after a tumultuous transfer period filled with excitement and drama. Even JDG, with its new star-studded roster, faced challenges when competing in this tournament, struggling and lacking determination. In contrast, the “super team” known as IG made an outstanding entrance, winning all three matches in the group stage and securing a spot in the knockout phase.
Notably, IG defeated RNG in just 16 minutes and 27 seconds, setting the record for the fastest match victory in Demacia Cup 2024. This win showcased IG’s complete dominance from the early game, controlling the match and decisively winning team fights. Players who were once doubted for their performance, such as TheShy, Rookie, and Jiejie, displayed exceptional performances, dispelling any doubts about their abilities.
LPL Fans Continually Chant T1’s Name as IG Achieves “Unbreakable” Milestone
For viewers in the LPL region, IG’s recent victory holds significant meaning, especially in the context of the knockout stage. The pressure IG displayed has led many fans to recall the match where this team defeated SKT T1 (the predecessor of T1) in just 15 minutes and 57 seconds at MSI 2019. This coincidence draws even more attention as the current IG roster features two players who previously faced off against Faker and his team: TheShy and Rookie.
Looking back at IG’s three matches in the group stage of the Demacia Cup 2024, it is clear that the team has rejuvenated the competitive atmosphere, providing numerous hopes for LPL fans. This team, alongside their capabilities to put pressure on opponents, has showcased their strategic prowess, leading to victories. Even when they faced challenges, IG displayed skillful macro plays, effectively securing wins along the way.
Ultimately, IG’s recent achievements serve as a significant milestone, showcasing their potential against strong opponents. However, fans still find it challenging to accurately assess the true strength of this lineup. Therefore, discussions among LPL fans regarding IG potentially rivaling T1 (the legendary team) remain speculative. Nonetheless, IG’s performance has restored confidence and excitement among LPL fans as the new season approaches, especially after many recent disappointments in international tournaments. Hope remains that the “super team” IG will continue to thrive in the new season and face formidable challenges against top-tier teams in LCK.
