Welcome to EGamersWorld.
The main event of the summer in Europe is gaining momentum. At LEC Finals 2023 the battles continue among the top 6 teams of the year.
We're talking about the top play-offs, where we have a very interesting match in the first round. G2 Esports will compete with BDS for the right to advance to the next round.
The winner of the match goes to the final of the upper grid, that is, guarantees a place at Worlds 2023. The loser falls to the lower grid, where they will face Fnatic.
We are trying to figure out which team will be stronger and after the only Bo5 will get a place at Worlds 2023, and who will have to continue the chase for the tickets to the South Korean World Championship in the lower grid.
Let's go.
G2 Esports uniforms
Let's open the match with an analysis of G2 Esports' form. In this match they are unqualified favourites with odds to win at 1.08.
We should not be surprised by this state of affairs. G2 Esports retain the title of the strongest team in Europe and no one can come close to them.
In the beginning "Samurai" reached the capital of Great Britain by winning the LEC Winter. Then G2 made it to the grand finals without much trouble, and also beat MAD Lions quite easily
In the spring, at LEC Spring 2023, G2 Esports played worse. They entered the play-offs of the tournament from the second match of their group, making it to the bottom of the play-offs. While there, they played against the Lions again, but were unable to repeat the success of the LEC Spring 2023: G2 Esports dropped out of the LEC Spring 2023 playoffs, but made it to the Mid-Season Invitational 2023.
- G2 Esports roster: BrokenBlade, Yike, Caps, Hans Sama, Mikyx .
Play-In for G2 Esports is successful and even easier than BLG's. G2 Esports didn't feel LOUD and easily shut down PSG Talon, beating both clubs 2-0.
Things were no longer as rosy in the Bracket Stage. In the first round, G2 Esports played Gen.G, probably the main contender for the championship title, and managed to take a card from them, which in the realities of today's competitive scene is more than good.
In the bottom set, G2 Esports met their main rival, MAD Lions. The European derby on the international stage ended with a confident victory for G2, confirming them as the best team in the LEC.
At the end of the only international event so far, G2 Esports finished in the top 6. The result is a good one.
Before the LEC Finals, the Samurai took another trophy to their headquarters. It was the trophy for the victory at LEC Summer 2023, where G2 easily defeated EXCEL in the Grand Final.

BDS Form
We continue our breakdown of the match for the Worlds 2023 with an analysis of the BDS form. The French club is playing as the number two in this match with odds to win in the region of 7.
The difference is obvious and as far as I'm concerned, pretty fair. BDS made it to the LEC Finals with enough Championship Points.
The French had an average year. Almost everywhere they grazed the back of the net, saving the only split.
At LEC Winter 2023 BDS made it to the group stage, but quickly fell out of it, taking the last place in their quartet. The result was a top-7 finish.
Next up was LEC Spring 2023 and BDS' moment of glory. Completely unexpectedly, they reached the grand final, but there they lost to MAD Lions, who were on a terrific spree in the spring.
- BDS line-up: Adam, Sheo, nuc, Crownie, Labrov.
Before LEC Finals 2023 BDS played at LEC Summer 2023. They were one map short of reaching the play-offs. They finished the championship on the 5th place.
The most popular BDS champions
On the top line the most frequent picks are KSante (4 matches, 50% wins), Gnar (3 matches, 100% wins).
From the foresters picks are Wukong (4 matches, 50% wins), Vi (2 matches, 50% wins), Nocturne (2 matches, 50% wins), Viego (2 matches, 0% wins).

Predicted result of the match G2 Esports - BDS at LEC Finals 2023
Europe is a region where sensations are possible, but there should be none in this match. G2 Esports will easily beat BDS and secure an early ticket to Worlds 2023.
Bottom line: 3-0 win for G2.
