Playstyle and Assessment
Before facing JDG, Lin Heng identified its lack of a reliable in-game shotcaller as a major weakness. He considered Junjia capable of calling small plays but prone to overlooking his teammates and composition; Vampire, in his view, lacked the directness to command the team 35.
Lin Heng praised Tabe’s ability to develop players’ strengths, but considered his approach cautious and formulaic. During the IG series, JDG’s hesitation when unexpected situations arose reinforced concerns about its shotcalling 35 40 44.
