Maç Tahmini: LNG Esports - Weibo Gaming | LoL

Welcome to EGamersWorld.

We continue to keep an eye on what's happening at LPL Summer 2023. There are 6 teams playing for two trips to Worlds 2023 and a prize pool of around $600,000.

The quarter-finals of the tournament are on the screens, which means the tension is palpable. The second match of the stage will feature LNG and Weibo Gaming.

Teams will fight for the opportunity to get to the next round of the main stage. And this is Double-Elimination and the top 4 of the tournament, so the clubs should have enough motivation.

Let's try to figure out how this Bo5 will go. Who will challenge the reigning LPL champion from JD Gaming in the next round, and who will have to say goodbye to the tournament in a step away from the top-4.

Let's go.

LNG Esports uniforms

Let's open the analysis of the confrontation with the analysis of LNG Esports form. In this match the team will play in the status of favourites.

Bookmakers believe in the success of LNG. The odds on the club's victory are at 1.4.

It is worth noting that this indicator is a normal practice for such a stage of the tournament. LNG are favourites, but the gap between the sides is not critical, given the bo5 format of the match.

In 2022, LNG started their ascent to the top of the Chinese League of Legends. They finished Top 6 at LPL Spring 2022, but fared better: in the summer split, LNG Esports finished Top 4 at LPL Summer 2023.

They also played at the regional finals in an attempt to qualify for the Worlds 2022, but had no luck. LNG Esports finished in the top 3.

At LPL Spring 2023, after a good group stage, the team finished in the top 6. Not to say bad, but not very good either.

• LNG Esports roster: Zika, Tarzan, Scout, Gala, Hang.

LNG maintained their class at LPL Summer 2023. The team played a 12-5 regular season, which allowed them to finish in the top 4 and directly advance to the quarterfinals of the tournament.

Most Picked LNG Esports Champions

The most pickable champion in the TOP was Renekton (6 matches, 83% wins). Besides him, Jax (2 matches, 100% wins) and Fiora (2 matches, 50% wins) were popular.

Sejuani (4 matches, 50% wins), Maokai (3 matches, 100% wins), and Zac (2 matches, 1 win) played in the forest.

The centre line was dominated by Ryze. Scout played 5 matches on it and won 4 games. Yone was selected twice more (1-1).

Similar situation with the shooters. Varus has appeared 8 times and has 75% wins. Jhin came twice (50 wins).

Of the shooters Leon is rather unfamiliar (5 matches, 4 wins). Much more standard Heim (2 games, 100% wins), Nautilus (2 matches, 50% wins).

Form Weibo Gaming

We continue the match analysis with the analysis of Weibo Gaming's form. Here they will have to play in the status of an outsider.

Bookmakers do not really believe in the success of Weibo, but they are not in a hurry to bury them. The odds betting on League of Legends for a win are at around 2.8.

The twofold advantage of LNG over Weibo is caused by the performance of the latter. So far they are in the ranks of strong middlers, but the appearance in the top 4 can improve the situation.

Weibo Gaming can be called a newcomer to the LPL, as the club appeared on the eSports radar and big stage in 2021, and debuted in the LPL in 2022.

As a rookie, the results were very good. Weibo made the top 8 twice in 2022, finishing top 6 at LPL Spring 2022 and top 8 at LPL Summer 2022.

At the last tournament played before LPL Summer 2023, the previous LPL Spring 2023 split, the team again finished in the top 6. It's not surprising, as the club has a great roster.

• Weibo Gaming roster: TheShy, weiwei, Xiaohu, Light, Crisp .

Weibo Gaming very confidently entered the play-offs of the championship. In the group stage of LPL Summer 2023 the team played with a score of 10-6, which allowed them to take the sixth place.

Weibo, unlike LNG, have already played in the play-offs. The club's first opponent was Ninjas in Pyjamas, who made a great run through the group stage and then surprised in the play-offs by reaching the top 8. But obviously they couldn't win, with Weibo winning 3-1.

Weibo Gaming's most popular champions in spades

Weibo Gaming is not famous for diversity in the top line up. TheShy plays KSante (10 games, 8 wins), Gnar (6 matches, 50% wins). Sion (2 matches, 100% wins) and Renekton (2 matches, 50% wins) make rare appearances.

The ubiquitous Maokai is ignored in the forest (appeared only once and lost). But Vi (6 games, 100% wins), Elise (6 games, 60% wins), Sejuani (4 games, 75% wins) get quite a lot of attention.

The centre line is occupied by Syndra (7 games, 85% wins), Ryze (4 games, 0% wins), Talliyah (3 games, 66% wins).

From shooters like Lucian (5 matches, 80% wins), Varus (4 games, 75% wins), Zeri, Sivir and Caitlyn appeared 3 times each and only Sivir didn't win a single game.

Supports: Nami (7 games, 85% wins), Ashe (4 games, 50% wins), Yummi (3 games, 33% wins).

History of head-to-head matches

The teams have previously played each other during LPL Spring and LPL Summer 2023. LNG lead with 3-1 statistics, but the last game, namely the match in the LPL Summer 2023 regular season was won by Weibo, and with a score of 2-0.

Match outcome

This match could be a really colourful spectacle. It's all about the last face-off between the teams.

Weibo Gaming showed a great League of Legends in the LPL group stage, and on top of that, have already had a chance to warm up in the play-offs. However, it still shouldn't be enough to win the boo5 series, but it is enough at least for a taken victory.

Bottom line: 3-1 in favour of LNG.
