Wouldve been fun to watch them own everyone with the new iso
man at least my flair is original
Also jdg (jingdong gaming) is an esports organization created in April 2017
Their valorant program started in 2023, after getting into franchising, they picked up the rare atom core.
Rare atom was a top2 china team in the last year off season. Rito didn't pick them up for franchising so they had to fight in ascension. Sadly they threw the finals against dragon ranger gaming, they run iso on bind for unknown reasons. After the depressing loss jdg picked them up. China only allows for 1 import ( they had 2 s Koreans - stew(star duelist) and yoman(goated igl)) they decided to sign stew which led to them having igl issues. They bombed out of kickoff groups getting 1win against all gamers. In stage 1 playoffs they had an extremely close first game against Edward Gaming (2-1) they nearly took edg to overtime on the 3rd map - split. The next notable game was against DRG where they threw a huge lead on bind losing the game 2-1. Before kickoff they picked up jkuro as an IGL. In stage 1 they picked up YHchen another IGL. They were trying many different player combinations and settled with: stew-viva-jkuro-yhchen-mart1n. They also suffered coaching issues. Last game (at this point they were 0-4) they played wolves a pretty good team fighting for play offs. That game they switched their comms to English, the score went 13-8 , 13-1 for jdg. They're looking to dominate the 2nd stage possibly qualifying to champs.
