Good to see you at EGamersWorld.
LPL Summer 2023 continues along with the group stage of the Chinese Regional League. Seventeen local teams are battling it out for the $600,000 prize pool and two trips to Worlds 2023.
Week 6 of the clash is now on the screens. We're talking about the second match of game day 5 between Weibo Gaming and Ultra Prime.
As is often the case in the Chinese region, the level of teams varies greatly from match to match. This happens because of the sheer number of competitors and the disproportionate level of play of those competitors.
This is the situation in this match as well. Ultra Prime and Weibo Gaming are on opposite sides of the LPL Summer 2023, with one side aiming for high seeding in the play-offs and the other for at least a place in the play-offs.
Let's find out if this match will be The International rigs, which team will win and earn important points for themselves ahead of the Long Soppega final split games.
Let's go.
Weibo Gaming uniforms
Let's start the showdown with an overview of Weibo Gaming's uniforms. In this match, the team will play at number one.
Bookmakers believe in Weibo's success. The odds for Weibo Gaming to win are around 1.05.
As you can see from the odds, Weibo is the clear leader here. I won't argue with that, as WG are really chipper, at least in this split.
Weibo Gaming can be described as a LPL newcomer, as the club appeared on the esports radar and the big stage in 2021, and made its LPL debut in 2022.
As a newcomer, the results have been very good. In 2022, Weibo made the Top 8 twice, finishing in the 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 finished in the top-6 again. This is no surprise as the roster of the club is by far the best.
- Weibo Gaming roster: TheShy, weiwei, Xiaohu, Light, Crisp.
The latest addition to Weibo Gaming is forester weiwei. The 22-year-old Chinese has previously had experience playing for Suning, Victory Five and Bilibili Gaming.
Before the game, Weibo Gaming are on a comfortable 6th line in the standings. The squad is 6-5 on the series and 17-11 on the map.
Weibo Gaming's most popular champions in spades
Weibo Gaming is not known for diversity in the top line. TheShy plays KSante (10 games, 8 wins), Gnar (6 matches, 50% wins). Sion (2 matches, 100% wins) and Renekton (2 matches, 50% wins) appear rarely.
In the forest the ubiquitous Maokai is ignored (he's only appeared once, and then lost). But a fair amount of attention is given to Vi (6 games, 100% wins), Elise (6 games, 60% wins), Sejuani (4 games, 75% wins).
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 Caytlin have appeared 3 times each and only Sivir hasn't won a single game.
Sappers: Nami (7 games, 85% wins), Ashe (4 games, 50% wins), Yummi (3 games, 33% wins).
Ultra Prime Form
We continue the match analysis with an analysis of Ultra Prime's playing form. They have to play against UP with a crushing margin.
The bookmakers are guaranteeing that gap. The odds on Ultra Prime's victory are at 7.7.
The reason for that is the obvious difference in the level of the teams. Both globally and locally at LPL Summer 2023.
The team has been on the professional stage since 2021. Since that time, Ultra Prime have never qualified for the championship play-offs.
The maximum achievement remains the top-12 in 2022. This was at LPL Spring 2022.
Ultra Prime's most recent achievement, however, was a top-17 finish at LPL Spring 2023. The team is now much higher than last season.
- Ultra Prime's line-up: Hery, Ning, Forge, Doggo, SwordArt.
Despite a very mediocre performance, Ultra Prime are showing the game. That's a fact.
The team is ranked 11th in the standings, which is a pretty good result for a team of Ultra Prime's level. They are 4-7 and have a theoretical chance of reaching the play-offs.
The most popular Ultra Prime champions
On the top line the most frequent picks are KSante (4 matches, 50% wins), Gnar (3 matches, 100% wins).
From Foresters, the picks are Wukong (4 matches, 50% wins), Vi (2 matches, 50% wins), Nocturne (2 matches, 50% wins), Viego (2 matches, 0% wins).
On the centre line Gragas (4 matches, 50% wins), Annie (4 matches, 50% wins).
On the shooters all stable and on the measure: Aphelios (6 matches, 33% wins), Jinx (3 matches, 66% wins), Zeri (2 matches, 100% wins).
On the Spurrottes things are also stable: Lulu (3 matches, 66% wins), Rakan (3 games, 0% wins), Nautilus (2 matches, 50% wins).
History of head-to-head encounters
Ultra Prime has never previously beaten Weibo Gaming. There have been 3 matches in the history of head-to-head encounters and all have ended 2-0 in favour of WG.
The outcome of the match
In this matchup, I don't see any prerequisites for a change in the history of face-to-face encounters. Despite Ultra Prime's decent performance, Weibo Gaming remain a team a few goals above their opponent. This is what will allow them to outplay their opponent.
Bottom line: victory for Weibo Gaming.
