Introduction: The S15 season has officially kicked off, and it's believed that the vast majority of players have been following the recent confrontations. The matches in the LPL region have been extremely intense, with significant changes occurring due to weather conditions. While adjustments to the schedule are typically acceptable, there will always be a team that suffers as a result. Previously, when the matches between BLG and IG were rescheduled, WBG became the victim. This time, during the Beijing home match against JDG, there were rumors that WBG was involved in a Shanghai-Beijing double fly, as it was reported that the management of a certain team disagreed with the second day's match.
It's believed that the vast majority of players still pay considerable attention to the LPL region. The rapid development of the esports industry in recent years has significantly increased the overall popularity and excitement of the LPL, especially during clashes between top teams, where tickets can become hard to come by. As we enter the third stage of the season, we are also facing a widespread rainy season, and the impact of typhoons and rainfall on the matches is substantial. Previously, a match between BLG and IG at the Shanghai home venue was forced to be postponed due to weather, with their match rescheduled for the end of August.
At that time, there were no objections, as adjusting matches due to uncontrollable factors is acceptable according to the official arrangements. However, it was WBG that suffered; initially, it was supposed to be a strong showdown between IG and BLG, but WBG ended up being the team that faced opponents in succession, ultimately being easily defeated by both BLG and IG. Some even publicly joked that WBG was the biggest victim of the typhoon at that time. This time, facing JDG, the match was affected by heavy rainfall, and after comprehensive consideration, the LPL officials decided to postpone the match, but the initial announcement did not specify a new date, possibly to facilitate coordination of the match.
After more than an hour, the officials officially announced the rescheduled time, moving the match between JDG and WBG in Beijing to the afternoon of the 28th, and the match between IG and WBG was adjusted to the same day. The most awkward part is that on the afternoon of the 27th, there is also a match between JDG and WBG, which means both teams will have to play two consecutive BO3s. This adjustment has indeed surprised many players, and according to industry insiders, there was initially an opportunity to change the match to the afternoon of the next day, which was the time the officials were coordinating. After all, they traveled all the way to the Beijing home venue, but the management of one side disagreed, resulting in WBG's players having to return and then play BO3s for two consecutive days.
This revelation is quite clear, implying that the management of a certain team disagreed with rescheduling the match to the next day. Looking at the schedule, if JDG and WBG were to compete on the 5th, they would face BLG back-to-back on the 6th, which could indeed put pressure on them. Some netizens also pointed out that if IG and BLG's matches can be rescheduled to the end, why can't JDG's match? To be honest, IG's match was moved to the end due to issues with the Shanghai home venue, as the schedule was already full, while there are plenty of free slots at the Beijing home venue, making it entirely possible to rearrange.
The team's request is entirely reasonable, especially since the officials have already adjusted the schedule once before. Arranging them on the same day would silence everyone. The most unfortunate should be WBG, who traveled far for a Beijing-Shanghai double fly; this should be one of the most bizarre situations in LPL matches, comparable to the previous BO10 confrontation, where two teams played the same match over two days, with a chance to redeem themselves if they lost.
What do you think about this situation, dear viewers?
