Speaking of one of the most outstanding newcomers in the 2022 LPL summer regular season, mid laner Dream from V5 is undoubtedly one of them. Due to special reasons, V5's core general Rookie was not able to participate in the summer regular season immediately. Under such circumstances, V5 promoted Dream, the mid laner of Team 87 of the LDL League, to fill the vacancy when Rookie could not play. But what is unexpected is that Dream has not only filled Rookie's vacancy very well, but the entire V5 team has also performed very well so far, and even achieved a 2-0 record in many games. What you need to know is that during the spring split, V5 won most games with a total score of 2-1. Therefore, Dream, who looks like ShowMaker, is affectionately called DreamMaker by many LPL fans, or even Little Show God.
So, how is Dream’s current performance? From a data point of view, perhaps because he has just joined V5 not long ago, Dream's data is not particularly good in terms of team participation rate and assists related to running-in. However, in terms of KDA, average kills per game, and average economy, it can rank in the top five, or even the top three. This actually reflects from the side that Dream has excellent personal operation ability and development ability. In addition, in terms of hero pool, Dream has played a total of 9 games, but he has used 7 different heroes. Among these heroes, there are Galio who are more functional, Enchantress Ahri who are more assassins, and there are also Clockwork and Victor who are more mid- to late-game magic core. From the perspective of the hero pool, Dream is still an all-rounder. Under such circumstances, Dream can certainly perform well in V5.
But what’s interesting is that, perhaps because Dream’s performance is really good, as a general of V5, Rookie felt a little restless during this period. Because judging from Rookie's recent ranking situation, in just five days, Rookie has played nearly 100 ranked games, and the winning rate is as high as 70%. He directly reached the Grandmaster level from Diamond 1 in the Korean server to 554 points. It is not difficult to see that even a player as strong as Rookie will still feel a little pressure due to the good performance of the substitute. Perhaps because of Rookie's recent crazy ranking behavior, many netizens have also ridiculed, "If you don't work hard, your home may be stolen." I have to say, it is quite true.
Of course, judging from the current situation of V5, they really don’t need to change the mid laner. After all, there were no problems with Dream's performance. However, Dream is a newcomer after all, and he is currently performing well. Part of the reason is that other teams have not focused on researching such newcomers. And once the research is thorough, maybe Dream will also encounter frequent attacks, resulting in it not being able to perform at the level it should. At this time, Rookie's return will naturally play a very critical role. Of course, it is precisely because of Dream's outstanding performance that it can actually better motivate the V5 players. After all, if a newcomer can play so well, why would the veterans have any reason to slack off?
Dear friends, what do you think?
