Welcome to EGamersWorld.
The summer split of the LCS, America's largest professional tournament, continues. LCS Summer 2023 features the championship play-offs, where the top eight teams from the regular season battle for the right to advance to Worlds 2023.
Today we're talking about the bottom set of the LCS Summer 2023 playoffs. There are 6 teams left in the race for $200,000 and 3 slots at Worlds 2023. After this match there will be 4, as Golden Guardians and Dignitas will play in the match of a lifetime.
The teams will play a bo5 series in the second round of the lower grid. The winner moves on to face the winner of the Evil Geniuses/Team Liquid pairing. The loser will be eliminated from the tournament.
Let's find out, who will be stronger in this Bo5 series and at the end of the match will fight for the top 4 and the Wildcard Worlds Qualifier, and who will say goodbye to the main tournament of the year.
Let's go.
Golden Guardians uniforms
Let's open the analysis of the second round match of the lower grid with the analysis of Golden Guardians' form. In this match, the team will play in the status of favourites.
League of Legends betting sites confirm the pre-match state of affairs. On the victory of Golden Guardians give odds in the region of 1.2.
Given the specifics of the championship, this indicator hints at the imminent demise of Dignitas. We do not have to doubt it yet.
All the time of the club's existence, Golden Guardians were at best "mid-table". They occupied places around the top-6, but a qualitative boost happened last season.
Quite unexpectedly for everyone, and I think for themselves, GG took the top 2 in the league. This guaranteed them passage to the first international event in the club's history - Mid-Season Invitational 2023. There were no sensations there, but the Guardians got their Top 8.
- Golden Guardians lineup: Licorice, River, Gori, Stixxay, huhi, Array .
After a successful spring split, Golden Guardians didn't change their lineup, which isn't surprising. This helped them finish well in the LCS Summer 2023: Group Stage, sharing the championship with Cloud9.
Golden Guardians started the playoffs from the second round of the top grid. Being one of the main favourites to win overall, GG unexpectedly Ledgeili NRG with the score 1-3.
Golden Guardians' most popular champions
The top line is favoured by Gwen (3 matches, 100% wins), Fiora (3 matches, 66% wins).
Forest is most often played with Wukong (5 games, 80% wins), Sejuani (3 matches, 100% wins), Nautilus (2 matches, 0% wins), Kindred (2 matches, 100% wins).
KSante (4 matches, 75% win rate) appears on the centre line, as well as Azir (4 matches, 75% wins), Yone (2 matches, 50% wins), LeBlanc (2 matches, 100% wins).
Aphelios (7 matches, 100% wins), Zeri (4 games, 50% wins), Lucian (2 matches, 0% wins), Varus (2 matches, 100% wins) are the most frequent shooters.
Of the supporting champions, Rell (3 matches, 100% wins), Nami (2 matches, 0% wins), Leona (2 matches, 0% wins).
Form Dignitas
We continue the match analysis with the analysis of Dignitas' match form. In this match Dignitas will have to play in the status of an outsider.
Bookmakers do not believe in the success of the club. The odds for their victory are at around 3.4.
It makes no sense to argue with the backlog of Dignitas. They are clearly weaker than their opponents, although they can play, so they would not have reached the second round of the play-offs.
Last season Dignitas showed poor performance. It's getting better now.
While 2022 started with a top-4 finish at LCS Lock-In 2022, the performance at the main LCS events was much more disappointing. At LCS Spring 2022 the team took the top 7, and at LCS Summer 2022 it was already the 10th place.
The situation did not change in 2023. In LCS Spring 2023 Dignitas finished in 10th place. The last, 10th place.
- Dignitas line-up: Rich, Santorin, Jensen, Tomo, Diamond, poome.
Due to the disappointing performance in recent tournaments, Dignitas resorted to the tactic of the two players. Simply put, they swap Diamond and poome at times, but it does not bring much result.
Dignitas finished the LCS Summer 2023 group stage in 7th place, just a little bit short of the top spot.
They battled TSM in the first play-offs match, and the match ended in a hard fought 3-2 victory.
The most popular Dignitas champions
KSante (4 matches, 75% wins), Jax (2 matches, 0% wins), and Quinn (2 matches, 50% wins) inhabit the top line.
Foresters include Sejuani (5 matches, 60% wins), Maokai (3 matches, 0% wins), Poppy (3 games, 33% winrate).
On the centre line Azir (3 matches, 33% win rate), Annie (2 matches, 50% win rate), Ahri (2 matches, 0% win rate), Orianna (2 matches, 100% win rate).
The most popular shooters are Aphelios (4 matches, 50% wins), Ashe (3 matches, 33% wins), Jinx (2 matches, 0% wins), Xayah (2 matches, 100% wins).
Supporting champions include Rell (4 matches, 50% wins), Rakan (2 matches, 100% wins), Nautilus (2 matches, 50% wins).
History of head-to-head meetings between Dignitas and Golden Guardians
The teams have played 4 matches against each other in 2023. Three times Golden Guardians won.
Predicted result of Dignitas vs Golden Guardians in LCS Summer 2023 play-offs
Golden Guardians have already lost to a clear outsider and should not make such a mistake for the second time. They beat Dignitas in the regular season and should do it again in the play-offs.
Bottom line: Golden Guardians win.
