On the first match day of the second round of the 2024 LPL Summer Playoffs, NIP defeated JDG 3-2 and successfully advanced to the next round. This match not only marked the first time that NIP defeated JDG in a BO5 knockout match, but also attracted widespread attention from both inside and outside the e-sports circle. Although most people thought before the game that JDG would easily win with its strong paper strength and historical record, NIP's outstanding performance made everyone take notice, and this game undoubtedly became a big upset in this playoffs.

Judging from the pre-match predictions, JDG has an absolute advantage in strength, status, and historical record. Whether it is the first tower rate, the average laning period economic difference, or the overall team cooperation ability, JDG is regarded as the favorite to win. In contrast, NIP experienced a low period of eight consecutive losses in the second stage of the regular season and barely advanced to the playoffs through the "Knight's Road". Therefore, NIP's victory is not only unexpected, but also a complete upset.

In the first game of the match, NIP showed strong suppression. Through steady operations and decisive decisions at critical moments, NIP established a clear advantage in the early stages of the game and eventually won the first place with a crushing victory. Although JDG quickly adjusted its state in the second game and won a game with an equally overwhelming victory, NIP was not discouraged and continued to show resilience in the following games.

In the third game, NIP once again demonstrated strong teamwork and accurate decision-making, easily winning the game in 27 minutes. JDG fought back tenaciously in the fourth game, and through exquisite cooperation and tactical adjustments, the game was brought back to the same starting line. However, in the decisive game, NIP finally successfully wiped out JDG after a 40-minute battle and won the entire game.

JDG's defeat triggered strong dissatisfaction among its fans, especially the performance of the mid laner Yagao, who was severely criticized. Fans questioned the decision of JDG management to replace the mid laner at the beginning of the season, believing that Yagao's performance at critical moments was far inferior to Knight, which directly led to JDG's defeat in this life-and-death battle. Yagao's sluggish performance in the game seriously affected JDG's overall coordination, and he made many mistakes in team battles, which ultimately led to the loss of the game.

NIP's victory not only enabled them to successfully advance to the next round of the playoffs, but also secured their spot in the 2024 LPL World Finals Qualifiers. For JDG, this defeat not only means the end of their summer playoff journey, but also makes their hopes of advancing to the World Finals slim. Now, JDG can only hope that FPX will beat AL in the next game, otherwise they will directly lose the qualification for this year's World Championship.

In general, NIP made history with its outstanding performance, while JDG suffered a heavy blow at the end of the season. How the two sides will adjust and respond in the next game will also become the focus of many viewers.
