Match forudsigelse: Royal Never Give Up - Ninjas in Pyjamas | LoL

Welcome to EGamersWorld.

LPL Summer 2023 is heating up. The main stage of the Chinese summer split league is heating up. The most exciting things are ahead for The International.

At the Long Circuit tournament, the championship play-offs are underway, with 10 teams battling for a prize pool of ~$680,000 and two more spots at Worlds 2023. It is for the trips to the Worlds that the battle will be sharpened.

Talk about the first round of play-offs for the tournament. We have already talked about the match between EDward Gaming and Team WE, and now we move on to the next match of the first round of play-offs - Royal Never Give Up vs Ninjas in Pyjamas. This match should be more interesting than the opening LPL Summer 2023 play-offs match between EDG and Team WE.

RNG and NiP played the group stage about equally. From that The International heresy to their soon-to-be confrontation only more.

We try to find out how the game will go and which of the teams will advance in the play-offs. The winner of the tournament will advance to Weibo Gaming, while the loser will leave the tournament.

Up Next.

Form Royal Never Give Up

We open the match analysis with an analysis of Royal Never Give Up's match form. In this match, the Kings will play in the status of favourite.

Bookmakers believe in the success of RNG. The odds for the victory of the once TIR-1 team are estimated at 1.4.

For the bo5 series, this is quite a working situation. RNG are in favour, but not too far from their pursuers. And all because of their extremely lacklustre play during the 2023 season.

Last year RNG won the LPL Spring 2022, then triumphed in the MSI 2022 finals, and also qualified for the Worlds 2022, where they finished in the top 8.

In the new season, however, Long Corner was worse than before. In the first regional round of the LPL - LPL Spring 2023 - RNG finished top-8.

• RNG's lineup is Breathe, Wei, Tangyuan, LP, LvMao.

So far, RNG are moving towards repeating the history of six months ago. They need to step up and improve their performance in the standings, then they can automatically avoid the top-8.

In the group stage of LPL Summer 2023, Royal Never Give Up finished in the top 7. They fell one position short of reaching the second round of the main stage and now need to play more matches.

Royal Never Give Up's most popular champions

KSante (4 matches, 25% wins), Renekton (3 matches, 66% wins), Jayce (2 games, 0% wins) are the top picks.

From Foresters: Maokai (3 games, 33% wins), Sejuani (3 games, 0% wins), Graves (2 games, 50% wins), Poppy (2 games, 0 wins) and Wukong (2 games, 50% winrate).

In the mid, the classic situation is Azir (2 matches, 50% wins), Akali (1 game, 0 wins), Ryze (1 game, 100% wins).

On arrows is also pretty usual, except for ignoring Lucian-a. The most selectable champion is Zeri (4 games, 75% wins). There was Caitlyn (3 games, 33% wins), Ziggs (2 games, 0% wins) and Varus (2 games, 0% wins).

Heimerdinger (2 matches, 50% wins), Yuumi (2 games, 50% wins) were Saporti.

Ninjas In Pyjamas uniforms

We continue the match analysis with the analysis of NiP's form. In this match they will have to play as the number two.

Bookmakers do not really believe in the success of Ninjas In Pyjamas. The odds for the victory of the Ninjas are estimated at 2.7.

To be honest, such a figure for NiP is quite good. Considering their overall level of play and history of playing in the LPL, this is a very good parameter for a win.

The first tournament for the "ninjas" was LPL Spring 2023. NiP finished in the top 13, which is not a terrible result for their debut.

• NiP roster: invincible, Shad0w, Angel, Photic, Zhuo.

After the top 13 at LPL Spring 2023, Ninjas in Pyjamas resorted to stand-ins. These have affected both the management and the playing roster.

The active roster of players has been changed mid lane. Angel, the silver medallist of Worlds 2020 in Suning, was taken from Dream to the centre line. So far he is playing at full strength.

At LPL Summer 2023 NiP have already proved their ability. Getting into the play-offs even from 10th place is already good considering the serious competition within the region.

Most popular champions Ninjas in Pyjamas

The NiP top line is taken by Jax (3 matches, 33% wins), Gwen (2 matches, 50% wins), Gangplank (2 matches, 50% wins), Jayce (2 games, 50% wins).

In the woods, Maokai (7 matches, 42% wins), Sejuani (4 games, 25% wins), Vi (3 games, 66% wins) were permanent.

The centre line was most often occupied by Sylas (5 matches, 40% wins), Ryze (3 games, 100% wins), Akali (2 games, 0 wins).

Zeri and Sivir peaked equally often on the shooter position. Both heroes appeared 4 times, but the former won all his games, and the latter - none.

Ashe appeared most often amongst the Spurrots. Archer was chosen 5 times and won 2 matches. Yuumi (4 matches, 75% wins), Heimerdinger (4 matches, 25% wins) were also frequently played.

History of head-to-head meetings

The teams have played against each other twice. And the most interesting thing is that NiP won twice, being outsiders, by the way.

Match outcome

In this LPL Summer 2023 regular season match, I expect a close match. Given NiP's track record in matches specifically against RNG, the chance of seeing a close clash is definitely high.

I would believe in two maps from NiP, however, it will still be difficult to win. RNG will clearly be ready and will definitely not want to get eliminated in the first round of play-offs.

Bottom line: 3-2 win for RNG.
