Though his talent remains uncertain, the impact of the new Top Laner at JDG appears significant.
Following their defeat at CKTG 2023, JD Gaming (JDG) underwent significant personnel changes. In addition to retaining standout players like Ruler, Kanavi, and Missing, the team also recruited several noteworthy additions. Firstly, the return of Yagao, followed by two Top Laners in Flandre and Sheer.
JDG's projected lineup for the upcoming season includes Yagao's return and the addition of Flandre.
While Flandre is well-known to fans for winning CKTG 2021, Sheer remains a completely unfamiliar name. It's worth noting that this young player was even promoted directly to the main lineup despite never having played in the LDL (a youth league in LPL). Consequently, many fans express curiosity about this 18-year-old newcomer.
Sheer's unexpected entry has left fans intrigued about this player.Sheer garners significant attention in his first appearance since joining JDG.
In a recent broadcast, Sheer shared intriguing details about his introduction to professional League of Legends and his decision to pursue a career as a pro player.
Sheer disclosed that he began taking League of Legends seriously in 2018 when he was in fifth grade.Audiences immediately noticed inconsistencies in Sheer's statements regarding his age. If he was in fifth grade in 2018 (11 years old), he would only be 17 years old in 2024. JDG, however, announced Sheer's birth year as 2005, making him 18. This discrepancy has raised suspicions among viewers regarding potential age falsification by the team.
LPL viewers commented on Sheer, suggesting that JDG might have altered his age. They noted that Sheer appears too young, like he's only 16.In the past, Riot Games has imposed severe penalties, including bans from competitive play and Esports activities, for age manipulation. If JDG indeed falsified Sheer's age, the team will undoubtedly face significant consequences. Currently, neither LPL nor JDG has issued any statements regarding this matter.
