The first match of the last day of the second week of spring was cut from China. And this day will start with the most equal meeting between Anyone's Legend (who used to be known as Rogue Warrior) and Weibo Gaming.
When I first saw the coefficients, I was not weakly surprised. Yes, AL are far from looking their best compared to the rest of the teams, but amidst the average level of play in China's pro scene, they still aren't that bad. At the same time, Weibo players are overrated in my opinion.
I'm not sure if WBG will get such an easy victory as it may seem based on the statistics of the favorites.
Anyone's Legend Form
I doubted a lot about the team's new roster, but which they were able to implement well in the match against LGD. This marked Maple 's debut in the AL ranks, as did zdz and xiaohao. But if I was confident in the experience of the mid-laner, then the top-laner with the jungler made me very happy.
The only unpleasant moment was the match with OMG, where for some reason they replaced Maple with mid, which obviously affected the game and the result of the meeting.
AL, in principle, look very good against teams of their level. They like to take risks and make interesting tactical moves that can surprise the opponent, but experienced teams will be ready for this, which completely broke the game of the Legends.
Relatively good against medium-weak teams and none against experienced teams. So far, this is how I see them.
Anyone's Legend line-up:
- Zdz - top lane.
- Xiaohao - forest.
- Maple - mid lane.
- Betty - bot lane.
- QiuQiu - support.
Weibo Gaming Uniform
WG assembled their team less than a month ago for Demacia Cup 2021, where they performed mediocrely with a score of 2-2 in their group matches.
However, they managed to beat the guys from Oh My God and ThunderTalk Gaming. If there is no question about the latter, then the victory over OMG is a relatively decent result, as for a newly born team. What became especially iconic within this LPL Spring 2022 split, where OMG is still on horseback.
Now they have strengthened their roster with a new top laner - TheShy, who has been playing for Invictus Gaming for a long time.
The guys beat Team WE to zero, which I did not believe in. Then they flew off with a score of 1:2 from Bilibili Gaming, in a worthy battle, but flew off.
And now they are playing with a score of 2:1 with the main outsider of the entire LPL ThunderTalk, which they used to do without problems before. By this, they became the only team that gave them at least one game.
So far, they look pretty good for a team that does not claim to be in the top 5 of the tournament.
Weibo Gaming roster:
- TheShy is top lane.
- SofM - forest.
- Angel - mid lane.
- huanfeng - bot lane.
- SwordArt - support.
Meeting history
The teams have not yet met even once after the rebranding, however, Weibo Gaming played with Rouge Warriors 14 times. Of which 6 times came out as winners.
Judging by the statistics, defeat-victory went there time after time, depending on the roster and the mood of the teams.
Now the situation has not changed much, new players, new split.
Match result
Speaking frankly, I don't know who to expect as the winner in this match, because I believe that Anyone's Legend may well take the meeting for themselves. But I will be a realist, because I will say that Weibo Gaming is more likely to win.
Given today's WBG match against TT, I would bet on over 2.5 total.
