As part of the LPL Spring 2023, the fights for reaching the playoffs of the spring split of the title Chinese division continue. Rare Atom and Bilibili Gaming will play in the next confrontation for 5 weeks of games.
Both teams are in the top 10. Both clubs are far from being able to gain a foothold there and, as a result, go to the main stage of the championship. However, a victory in a face-to-face confrontation will be most welcome.
Rare Atom come into the match with 4-2 stats in series and 8-7 in maps. They are on the 7th line of the standings.
Bilibili Gaming are two steps down. They have 3 wins and 3 losses.
We figure out which of the clubs will be able to win an important victory, which will slightly improve their position in the standings.

Bilibili Gaming are moving around the tournament a little worse than their opponents do. The team has 3-3 stats and is two positions lower than Rare Atom itself.
Bilibili Gaming roster
Probably, this opinion of bookmakers is connected with the updated Bilibili Gaming roster. In the transfer season, they got a clear boost in the form of a new mid player.

Naturally, the Yagao factor will play a plus for Bilibili. However, for a full-fledged inclusion of a star mid player, distance is needed, and 6 games is still not an indicator.

History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams did not play each other in face-to-face confrontations in the new season. This match will be the debut match between the clubs.
Match outcome
I expect from this game approximately equal confrontation. This is hinted at by the position of the teams in the standings, and they look close in terms of the game.
I'm waiting for a full-fledged bo3, this will be the bet.
Result: total +2.5.
