IGL in an Emergency! JitBoyS Takes on a Temporary In-Game Leader Role in Loss to ZETA, as Crws Mourns the Passing of His Father
On April 13, 2025, following tradition after the match, assistant coach Jovi and JitBoyS sat down with the media to discuss various topics after Talon Esports suffered a heartbreaking 2-0 defeat against ZETA DIVISION.
One of the key highlights from the interview was Jovi revealing that JitBoyS had been appointed as the team’s stand-in IGL (In-Game Leader) for the match — marking the first time he had ever taken on the role.
The reason behind the decision was that Crws, the team’s usual shot-caller and veteran leader, had recently lost his father. Given the emotional toll, the team decided it was best for him to take a step back from leading, entrusting the role to JitBoyS temporarily.
Although JitBoyS’ debut as IGL didn’t yield the desired outcome, Jovi emphasized that every loss brings valuable lessons. The team is determined to make the necessary adjustments heading into the next match.
Talon Esports will face a crucial showdown against T1 on Saturday, April 19, starting at 3 pm
