The play-in stage at Worlds 2022 continues to please (or disappoint) with games for reaching the group stage. One of these will be the confrontation between Beyond Gaming and LOUD.
Taiwan's second team will play against Brazil's first team. A good match is ahead of us.
The teams are quite equal, and therefore we can expect “swings” and tug of war. So it will be or not is a question, the answer to which is yet to be known.
We figure out who, according to its results, will be stronger and earn extra points to pass to the group stage.
Beyond Gaming Uniform
The favorite with a stretch in this match can be called Beyond Gaming.
The gap, even minimal, I associate with the geographical location of the teams. PCS is a fast growing league producing competitive teams as we can see with Beyond Gaming.
This season, the team has a good gaming experience, but their main advantage is playing at Worlds 2021, where the team took 18th place. In the 2022 competitive year, the team took TOP-6 at PCS Spring 2022 and 2nd place at PCS Summer 2022.
Beyond Gaming roster
- Likai
- Husha
- Minji
- Wako
- Kino
The team has a win, because the five have been together for more than a year. Hence the confidence in synergy.
Heroes Beyond Gaming
In terms of heroes, Beyond Gaming does not invent a bicycle. The top lane is most often inhabited by Gnar (7 matches, 57% of wins).
Wukong remains the most popular forest ranger. The monkey king has a 75% win rate in 8 matches.
In the mid lane is China's favorite Talliyah, with 4 matches and a 75% win rate.
On the adk position, the team plays with Zeri. The character has 6 matches with a 66% win rate.
The support is often Nami, who appeared 4 times and won 2 matches. However, Leona and Nautilus are also worthy of attention here, having won 3 out of 3 matches each.
Form LOUD
LOUD will play in the status of a nominal outsider in this match.
The TOP-1 Brazilian team, following the results of the last split, are trying to “jump over their heads” at Wolrds 2022. In theory, they have everything for this, except that the experience of playing at the international level leaves much to be desired.
From the performance - TOP-7 at CBLOL Split 1 2022 and the victory of CBLOL Split 2 2022. The spring league raises huge questions, because Brazil's 7th place does not look impressive.
Composition LOUD
- Robo
- Croc
- TinOwns
- Brance
- Ceos
We focus on Brance. The player joined the team after the ill-fated TOP-7 in the home league, and as a result helped the team become the CBLOL champion.
Naturally, he did not do this alone, but the impact is clearly significant.
Heroes LOUD
Most often, Gnar appeared on the top lane of LOUD. In 5 matches, he has a 100% win rate.
From the junglers, the stable choice of the patch, Wukong. He has 5 wins in 6 games.
In the mid lane, there is also a rather meta and, perhaps, trivial hero - Ahri. From 6 matches she has a 66% win rate.
In the bot line, LOUD has an unexpected character. The most popular Adk for Brazilians is Ezreal. In 5 matches, he has a 40% win rate.
On support, the team chooses Renata Glasc. She has 3 wins from 5 matches.
History of personal confrontations
The teams did not meet in face-to-face confrontations. This bout will be the debut bout between PCS and CBLOL representatives.
Outcome
In this meeting, I expect an approximately equal game, but I believe in the victory of Beyond Gaming. The Taiwanese need to get rid of Gnar and focus on the "young" Brazilian ADK Brance.
As for me, the recipe for victory described above is quite realizable. With the level of preparation and assessment of rivals, Beyond Gaming should be all right.
Outcome: Beyond Gaming win.
