IG Faces Major Drama After Playoff Failure
On February 23, the teams such as BLG, WBG, IG, and TES found themselves in a crucial match after a series of unfortunate defeats in the LPL 2025 Split 1 playoffs. Notably, both matches ended with a 3-1 scoreline, with BLG and TES emerging victorious. Meanwhile, WBG and IG faced a bitter defeat, marking an early exit from the playoffs and missing out on the first championship title of the 2025 season.
What stands out is that immediately after IG’s loss, many spectators in the arena witnessed a dramatic scene unfold on stage. According to reports, a portion of the audience began chanting “suck” directed at Jiejie after the match ended, due to IG’s performance being deemed subpar. Furthermore, one fan even graphically expressed their disdain for Rookie right on stage, amplifying the tension surrounding the team.
Notably, during the post-match press conference, Rookie also appeared alongside Jiejie, despite the two being rivals on the field. In addition, reporters captured moments where Jiejie was visibly distraught over the match results while responding to questions. This was indicative of how the star player of IG was losing faith in their teammate Rookie.
IG’s “Super Warriors” on the Brink of Collapse
It’s important to note that in the recent match against TES, Jiejie had several standout moments and critical plays for the team. However, the overwhelming performance by GALA, particularly Rookie, rendered all of Jiejie’s efforts futile. Despite their significant attempts, the inability to secure a win has led the prominent player on IG to express frustration and disappointment publicly. Additionally, this situation has caused instability within the IG roster following Jiejie’s public criticism of Rookie.
Before the 2025 season began, IG was considered the “heavyweight” of the LPL, boasting a roster filled with top-tier stars and a strong traditional presence. However, this does not overshadow the reality that IG’s current lineup has been struggling significantly. The recent poor performance of this team has been quite evident. If IG continues to falter in the upcoming Split 2 of LPL, the potential collapse of the “Super Warriors” team could become a reality in this current season.
