Welcome to EGamersWorld.
The summer of professional League of Legends is entering its final stages! At LPL Summer 2023, the top grid final is getting ready for Long Cog.
Although this match is nominally far from, for example, the Grand Final, it is in any case very important. After all, for winning here the winner not only goes to the Grand Final, where he will have a chance to become the champion of the most prestigious regional league, but also gets a ticket to South Korea for Worlds 2023.
JD Gaming and Bilibili Gaming will play in a battle of bo5. Let's try to figure out which of the nemeses will be stronger and earn a trip to the Worlds.
Let's go.
JD Gaming uniforms
Let's open the match for the LPL Summer 2023 Grand Final with an analysis of JD Gaming's form. In this match, the team will play as favourites.
The odds betting on League of Legends for JD Gaming to win this match are at around 1.5. It is quite easy to understand this figure, as JDG is the best team in the world right now.
JD Gaming became the champions of the LPL spring draw quite easily. The only difficult match came in the semifinals of the top grid, where BLG gave JDG trouble by taking 2 games.
- JD Gaming lineup: 369, Kanavi, Knight, Ruler, Missing .
Among other things, JD Gaming became the champions of the first large-scale The International event in 2023 - Mid-Season Invitational 2023. If we remember the group stage of LPL Summer 2023, JD Gaming fell just short of BLG's record, playing the stage with a score of 14-2.
In the first round of the main stage JD Gaming faced LNG Esports. The latter showed top flight and made the current world champions sweat for 5 maps, but the match still ended in favour of Ruler and company.
The most popular champions of JD Gaming
The most picked heroes in the TOP: Renekton (4 matches, 75% wins), Gragas (3 games, 100% wins), Aatrox (2 games, 50% wins).
In the forest, the most pickable champion is Maokai (4 matches, 100% wins), Wukong (3 games, 33% wins), Sejuani (3 matches, 66% wins).
Centre line - Akali (3 matches, 33% wins), Jayce (2 matches, 100% wins).
Of the shooters JDG likes Zeri (5 games, 60% wins), Varus (4 matches, 75% wins).
On the shooters usual for patch 13.1 Yuumi (4 games, 75% wins), Ashe (3 matches, 100% wins).
Form Bilibili Gaming
Let's continue the match analysis with the analysis of Bilibili Gaming form. In this match the team will play the second number.
The odds for BLG victory are at 2.3. When you play against the reigning LPL champion, and at the same time the MSI 2023 champion, such a score is more of a compliment to you than the other way round.
Last season, BLG jumped into the Top 2 of the Chinese region with lightning speed, thus clawing their way to the Mid-Season Invitational 2023. Another sensation happened at the international event: BLG made it to the grand finals, only to lose to JD Gaming.
Another plus for BLG is the roster renewed at Long Conference 2023. The club managed to assemble a top company.
- BLG roster: Bin, XUN, Yagao, Elk, ON.
After a really triumphant half-year, Bilibili Gaming has not slowed down at all. The team was the first to reach the LPL Summer 2023 play-offs, and also set a local record: the only team in the history of the series to finish the group stage with one defeat.
In the first match of the play-offs, TES faced off. The game was played at the dictation of vice-champions LPL Spring 2023 and BLG beat TES very confidently with a score of 3-1.
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 fights, 50% wins), Renekton (2 games, 0% wins), KSante (2 matches, 0% wins).
Jungle is dominated by VI with 6 matches and 66% wins. Also peaking are Wukong (4 games, 0% wins), Nidalee (3 games, 33% wins).
Azir (3 matches, 0% wins), Ahri (2 games, 0 wins), Galio (2 matches, 2 wins), Sylas (2 matches, 50% wins) appear in the mid.
Lucian (7 matches, 57% wins), Varus (3 matches, 33% wins), Zeri (2 matches, 0 wins) pick on shooters.
The most popular combination with Lucian is Nami (7 matches, 57% wins), Karma (2 games, 50% wins).
History of head-to-head meetings
Earlier the teams played each other 5 times this season. Not once BLG failed to win.
Match outcome
Taking into account the history of head-to-head meetings, I can not bet here on BLG. The situation on the season can develop as you wish, but when it comes to the final stages, JDG are switched on to the maximum and leave few chances to anyone, even to such stubborn opponents as BLG.
Bottom line: victory of JD Gaming.
