LBZS and Crocodile will face off as part of the Moon Studio Asian Showdown group stage. An unremarkable match at first glance may turn out to be rich in surprises.
However, it may not be at all. That is why we have gathered here to find out what to expect from such a match.
LBZS form
The nominal favorites of the meeting between LBZS and Crocodile are the first. However, it is not surprising.
The young team managed to break into the top division of China last season, and this already says something. After all, not every team can pass qualifications, leave behind such teams as RNG and CDEC.
The LBZS succeeded, but that was the end of their march. Perhaps, getting into the elite division of China is already a result for a team like LBZS, and they did not have to count on more.
LBZS are doing just fine this season. They confidently share the first line of the second division with Phoenix Gaming and clearly want to play with the best Chinese teams again in the new season.
Results of last 5 matches LBZS
- Defeat CDEC Gaming 2-0
- Defeat Dragon 2-1
- Defeat Invictus Gaming Vitality 2-0
- Defeat Phoenix Gaming 2-1
- Lose from Veteran Gaming with a score of 1-2
The latest statistics only confirm the above. I would write off the recent defeat by Veteran Gaming as an accident.
Crocodile shape
Crocodile is China's rising team, but still very far from LBZS. Far in terms of performance and, what may sound silly, experience.
In the first season, DPC Crocodile shone only at small local tournaments. They missed the DPC race and did not play in any of the divisions.
However, a similar situation is being repeated now. With the start of the second DPC season, Crocodile again found themselves outside the main league and continue to play with varying success in small tournaments.
Results of last 5 matches Crocodile
- Lost to Execration 0-2
- Lose at Dragon 1-2
- Win against Invictus Gaming Vitality 2-0
- Lose at Dragon 1-2
- Defeat Galaxy Racer 2-0
The situation is obvious. The team loses matches to teams of a class much lower than those of LBZS
Personal meeting history
Previously, the teams managed to meet each other twice in small tournaments. Between the teams in face-to-face meetings, parity is maintained both in the games taken (1-1) and in the cards (3-3).
Match outcome
Although such tournaments always cause me concern, in this case I really hope and believe that everything will go smoothly. I believe the LBZS will win as they clearly look stronger and deserve to win more.
I would venture to put on 2-0, but again, the factor of the crazy championship does not allow me to do this. I advise you to follow the fight live, as the chances of an unforeseen scenario are still high.
Outcome: victory for LBZS
