Match forudsigelse: Bilibili Gaming - LNG Esports | LoL

Welcome back to EGamersWorld.

We continue to watch what's happening at LPL Summer 2023, the biggest regional event in modern League of Legends. We're now in the group stage, where one of the highlights of the month and the LPL in particular awaits us.

LNG and Bilibili Gaming will face off in a head-to-head battle. The main contenders not only for play-offs, but also for the highest regular-season places.

In keeping with their status, both teams are well placed in the standings. And that adds The International rigs to the matchup.

Prior to the Long Sognega encounter, the teams were ranked 3rd and 4th, respectively, which means a win in this matchup would significantly improve the winner's position. Let's not forget that in China, it's the final place where the team finishes in the regular season that matters.

So let's try to see which of the top teams will be stronger in this match and earn the win they need ahead of the LPL Summer 2023 to the next stage of the regular season.

Bilibili Gaming uniforms

Let's start the breakdown of the match with an analysis of the playing form of Bilibili Gaming. They are on par with LNG in this encounter.

The bookmakers have not decided on the favourite. In this match the odds on the victory of Bilibili Gaming is at 1.88.

In principle, the odds are understandable. Both clubs show really lively play, and most importantly, it's no fluke: the teams show class for the second season in a row.

However, in the case of BLG, I would single them out as favourites. I have several arguments for that.

First, and perhaps foremost, is performance. Last season BLG stormed into the top 2 of the Chinese region, and they paved the way to the Mid-Season Invitational 2023. At the international event, another sensation happened as BLG made it to the grand final and only lost there to JD Gaming.

The second factor of their advantage is a very cheerful and already played squad. The team did a good job with personnel appointments before the Long Sogpeg of the season.

• The composition of BLG: Bin, XUN, Yagao, Elk, ON.

At Long Saugus, BLG has an almost ideal situation. The team has 6 wins and 1 loss and that against JD Gaming, so no surprise.

BLG's most popular characters

The most popular characters in the TOP remain: Gnar (3 matches, 66% wins), Gwen (2 matches, 0% wins), Camile (2 matches, 50% wins), Renekton (2 games, 0% wins), KSante (2 matches, 0% wins).

The jungle is dominated by VI with 6 matches and 66% wins. Also picking up Wukong (4 games, 0% wins), Nidalee (3 games, 33% wins).

Lucian (7 games, 57% wins), Varus (3 games, 33% wins), Zeri (2 games, 0 wins) pick on shooters.

The most popular combinations with Lucian are Nami (7 games, 57% wins), Karma (2 games, 50% wins).

LNG Esports Form

Continuing the analysis of the match with the analysis of the playing form of LNG Esports. They are on par with Bilibili Gaming in this match.

We've already mentioned the bookies' inability to pick a favourite in this match. The odds of LNG winning here are around 1.9.

As with Bilibili Gaming, LNG have earned their status through good play and a strong roster. Everything is with them, but a little short of BLG, though the separation is minimal.

In 2022, LNG began their ascent to the top of the Chinese League of Legends. They finished in the Top 6 at LPL Spring 2022, but their progression was even better: LNG Esports finished in the Top 4 at LPL Summer 2023.

They also played in the Regional Finals in an attempt to qualify for Worlds 2022, but had no luck. There, LNG finished in the top 3.

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

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

Before the match with a major rival LNG score is 5-2. In the event of a victory, the teams will be evenly matched in terms of performance.

The most popular champions LNG Esports

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

Sejuani (4 games, 50% wins), Maokai (3 games, 100% wins), Zac (2 games, 1 win) played in the Forest.

Ryze dominated the centre line. Scout played 5 games on it and won 4 games. Yone was picked twice more (1-1).

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

Of the ѕurrogt, the rather unaccustomed Leon (5 matches, 4 wins). The more ѕtruncular Heim (2 games, 100% wins), Nautilus (2 games, 50% wins).

History of personal matches between Bilibili Gaming and LNG Esports

The history of head-to-head encounters adds to the significance of the match. The last game between the teams won LNG Esports, defeating Bilibili Gaming in the LPL Spring 2023.

The outcome of the match

This matchup is set to see a full-fledged bo3, which is a rarity for today's LPL Summer 2023. All because of the history of head-to-head encounters: neither team has won the last 5 games without a win.

If we talk about the winner, I see Bilibili Gaming as the winner. However, the main thing is beautiful LoL, and this pair can and probably will provide it.

Bottom line: Total +2.5.
