Suning defeated LGD Gaming in a thrilling match, where the 2-0 scoreline barely captures the exciting developments of the game. On a day where SN played brilliantly, SofM continued to shine with a dominant performance against the opponent on the other side – the former world champion Peanut.
Notably, in the first game, SofM showcased a very unique playstyle with the champion Lee Sin, building tank items and providing support. His performance rendered Peanut, who is also famous for his Lee Sin, overshadowed in a humiliating defeat.
Suning continues to soar with their fifth victory in the LPL Summer 2020, while the international gaming community is buzzing about SofM – a name that, for some unknown reason, is dominating most of the reputable headlines in League of Legends in China, and is continuously praised by the local fan community for his greatness and influence on the region’s status:
– Can you define the concept of “unpredictable” for Suning? That is, when they get fired up, they fear no one. But when they choke…
– This is the LGD I know, winning all the time is indeed unfamiliar.
– Look at SofM’s Lee Sin, he’s insane!
– Where has Angel been all spring, and now he suddenly appears?
– SofM > Peanut. That’s how it is.
– SofM’s tank Lee Sin is really annoying, even Kramer couldn’t hit him.
– Of course, tank Lee Sin isn’t a new concept, but using it so flexibly like this is only SofM can do.
– SofM dominated Peanut in both games. In Game 2, LGD even had to pull all five players to dare to dive the tower and gank SN’s jungle. That says enough.
– It’s boring, I’m still waiting for SofM’s Graves Ignite, but he keeps getting banned from this champion.
– 2 out of 3 of SN’s losses so far have been against the “big four” teams (JDG and IG, among the top teams in the LPL including FPX, TES, JDG, IG). Clearly, they could rank higher if they hadn’t faced a rather tough schedule early on. Suning may not compare to the strongest teams yet, but their current performance is fully capable of reaching the playoffs.
In fact, SofM’s superiority over Peanut was most evident in Game 1. In Game 2, with LGD Gaming implementing a strategy directly targeting SN’s jungle position, the advantage between the two junglers was not as pronounced.
It should also be noted that Peanut is no longer at his peak performance, and his teammates are not necessarily top-tier names. To solidify his ambition for a spot at the World Championship, SofM’s real challenge has to be against players like Tian from FPX or Karsa from TOP Esports – the real giants in the LPL at the moment that SN has yet to face.
