On the eve of the main event of the competitive season of the League of Legends, we are talking about the upcoming Worlds 2022 matches. The Play-In teams will be the first to enter the race for the Summoner Cup, among them DetonatioN FocusMe and LOUD.
Both clubs will play in Group B of the Play-In Worlds 2022. Both clubs have a slim chance of success in the first round of the Play-In, but will be in contention for qualification to the Worlds 2022 group stage in the second round of the qualifying stage.
We will try to figure out which of the teams will be lucky in this confrontation, and who will be defeated, throwing them further away from their cherished goal.
Form DetonatioN FocusMe
DetonatioN FocusMe will be the favorite for this match. The chance of success for the Japanese bookmaker's club is estimated at around 1.5.
The figure looks sterile, although it hints at the success of the Japanese. Quite a competent coefficient, as for me, because DetonatioN FocusMe cannot be called the absolute favorite.
Representatives of LJL in this match will discover Worlds 2022: LOUD will be the first opponent on the path of the Japanese. In this case, we can safely focus on the position of the team during the season.
DetonatioN's competitive marathon turned out to be quite successful. The team not only won the LJL home league twice, but managed to make itself known in the international arena as well.
The main milestone of the 2022 season for the Japanese before the Worlds was the performance at the Mid-Season Invitational, where the team made it to the TOP-10. Yes, the result is not colossal, but it certainly will not play in the red.
Composition of DetonatioN FocusMe
- Evi
- Steal
- Yaharong
- Yutapon
- Harp
Interest in the trio Steal, Yaharong and Harp did not disappear. Legionnaires from South Korea should act as the locomotive of DetonatioN FocusMe and move the club to the group stage. Whether they will succeed is not yet clear, but there are prerequisites, from what we saw during the competitive season.
Heroes of DetonatioN FocusMe
Top lane Gnar with 5 matches and 80% win rate.
Forester - Wukong. He has 9 matches and 8 of them won.
On the mid lane, opponents should be wary of Ahri. The character appeared 5 times and never let the team down.
The team most often has Zeri in the adk position. The lightning character was selected in 6 games and lost only 1 of them.
Supports - Nami, Yuumi, Renata Glasc. The first two have 100% wins in 3 games, Renata has won twice.
Form LOUD
The status of the catch-up in this match is with LOUD. Bookmakers give odds around 2.5 for the victory of the Brazilian club.
Again, I completely agree. DetonatioN FocusMe is neatly taken out as a favourite, but they don't give enchanting odds of 6 or more on the opponents, as it happens in other, more obvious matches.
2.5 on LOUD - that's it. So far, the team cannot claim the best performance, although there is a nuance here.
For LOUD, the match with DetonatioN FocusMe will be the second in the Worlds 2022 Play-In. First, the Brazilians will meet with Beyond Gaming, and after that they will play here.
I wouldn't expect them to be a resounding success in the opening match against BG. Painfully nondescript LOUD results were shown during the season.
The Brazilians have 2 performances in the home CBLOL, where the team first took 7th place, and in the second half of the year, having gathered strength, won the crown of Brazil.
This is where the LOUD experience ends. At the international level this year, LOUD did not play, unlike their counterparts.
Composition LOUD
- Robo
- Croc
- TinOwns
- Brance
- Ceos
The headliner of the composition can be called Brance. The newcomer joined the club after the disastrous CBLOL Split 1 and became the champion of Brazil on his debut with teammates.
Heroes LOUD
Most often, Gnar appeared on the top lane of LOUD. In 5 matches, he has a 100% win rate.
From the junglers, the stable choice of the patch, Wukong. He has 5 wins in 6 games.
In the mid lane, there is also a rather meta and, perhaps, trivial hero - Ahri. From 6 matches she has a 66% win rate.
In the bot line, LOUD has an unexpected character. The most popular Adk for Brazilians is Ezreal. In 5 matches, he has a 40% win rate.
On support, the team chooses Renata Glasc. She has 3 wins from 5 matches.
History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams did not play each other in official games. This fight will be the debut face-to-face fight between the teams.
Match outcome
The winner of this match will be determined by the outcome of the Beyond Gaming match. If the Brazilians from LOUD catch a wave and stomp the Taiwanese, there is a feeling that they will also carry DetonatioN FocusMe. The thing is, I don't believe in it.
Outcome: victory for DetonatioN FocusMe.
