Introduction: The S15 season matches have all finished, and it's believed that the vast majority of players have been following the recent offseason closely. The Demacia Cup in the LPL region has been fiercely competitive. Looking at the overall confrontation so far, the results have surprised all fans. Two highly favored teams were eliminated early, while some restructured teams with average strength advanced to the next round. Currently, JDG's investment of one hundred million is indeed effective; at least they stabilized the situation in the second round and successfully reached the quarterfinals. Coach Xiaobai also shared the meals after advancing, which were very abundant, even captioning that he had gained 15 pounds in a month.

JDG coach gained 15 pounds in one month

Most players are quite familiar with the JDG team. As a financially strong team in the LPL, they invest heavily every transfer period to build a super luxury lineup. This season was no exception; at the start of the transfer window, they expanded their budget by over 100 million, with the sole goal of assembling a "galaxy fleet" to vie for the world championship. Before the players were finalized, the team had already secured a top coaching staff, with Tabe and Xiaobai joining, raising many fans' expectations. However, the player selections afterward did not turn out as well as hoped.

Thanks to Tabe's efforts, they acquired the top domestic AD player Gala, providing solid support for the bot lane, while the top lane continued with the previous player Xiaoxu. The main issue was in the mid-jungle, where they brought in two players, Junjia and Hongq, from Wanwan. Judging from the recent Demacia Cup matches, these two have average overall skills, roughly mid-tier in the LPL region. This lineup resembles the old RNG team, mainly relying on the AD player in the bot lane for a four-protect-one strategy. Indeed, AD players from that team are known for their top-tier mechanics and game sense. When Gala was with IG, most matches were won thanks to his outstanding performance.

With the end of the second phase of the Demacia Cup, JDG successfully advanced to the next knockout stage. At the start of this phase, many doubted this team, expecting WBG and BLG to advance instead. Unexpectedly, these two teams were the first to be eliminated, with BLG even ranking last. After the match, JDG's coach Xiaobai shared the staff meal—a barbecue feast that was extremely lavish. Xiaobai even captioned that since joining JDG, he has gained 15 pounds in a month and can barely fit into his pants anymore.

Honestly, JDG's diet is definitely impeccable. Previously, Kanavi mentioned in an interview how much he missed Chinese cuisine, feeling that JDG has spoiled his taste buds. Former AD player Peyz also recently said in an interview that Chinese food is quite similar to Korean food, and he has adapted well. The only team comparable to JDG's diet might be the old IG team. When Wang Sicong was in charge, IG had smooth sailing, with excellent results, high salaries, and sumptuous meals. It's said that a single meal could cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands RMB.

Goodbye to assumptions

Honestly, at the beginning of the second phase, I wasn't optimistic about JDG. But based on the past couple of days' matches, their overall synergy seems decent. Of course, this mainly depends on AD player Gala's performance. If he can maintain this level, JDG's bid for a world championship spot should be achievable. Earlier, I was shortsighted and feel the need to sincerely apologize to JDG.

What do you all think about this matter, dear viewers?
