We continue to analyze the game of excellent teams from China, in the no less beautiful and beloved by all of us game League of Legends.
The previous week of the spring split has just ended, but without days off and respite, we are already breaking into the next, sixth in a row, in-game week. It will be a little less tense than the last one, but almost the main match of the group stage is waiting for us. But not today!
Today, the first of the two meetings will be the battle between Victory Five and LGD Gaming.
Victory Five, in my opinion, are now at the peak of their form and show some miracles that I personally did not expect from them. However, there is something. Players really demonstrate high aerobatics. By the way, from which Royal Never Give Up recently flew off. Outright.
LGD Gaming, on the other hand, have not yet met a single favorite of the region, but have caught loose from teams that are frankly average in terms of the level of play, and now they are going with a mirror V5 score: 1-6 in meetings. The only ones they miraculously managed to defeat are Oh My God on low morale.
Victory Five shape
4th team on the leaderboard. And while they have not met the strongest teams of the home League, there is no doubt about their strength.
The organization obviously did not skimp on the money, because they hired two top Koreans from iG and Gen.G with NS Redforce, as well as an equally strong and experienced jungler from Taiwan.
Until last week in the form of the guys from the Victory Five, to be honest, I doubted. Yes, you can see from them that they are head and shoulders above the average teams, but here they defeated one of the tops of the tournament - RNG.
So far, they've beaten everyone they've met, except for Weibo Gaming. But considering what peak of strength the latter are at, I'm not sure that LNG will stop them.
However, V5 has an interesting tendency to give away one map even to objectively weak teams like Team WE.
The second thing I don't really like about Victory Five's strategy is some of their picks and all-in fights. But as long as such a game can be imposed and it works, there are no questions.
Most likely, by the end of the group stage, Bilibili Gaming and Royal Never Give Up will lose one or two places. And so, the composition looks quite impressive.
Composition of the Victory Five:
- Rich - top lane.
- Karsa - forest.
- Rookie - mid lane.
- Photic - bot lane.
- ppgod - support.
Form LGD Gaming
15th team on the leaderboard. They can only really play against average teams, which is fatal in this match.
It looks like this split has become a serious test for the new LGD Gaming roster. As I noted earlier, the organization very often sorted out players for different roles in order to find a comfortable and suitable roster.
Moreover, the team has new coaches who know and train them for just over a month.
Each of the players has good potential and personal performance, but the teamwork and understanding of the team is still not enough. However, I'm quite happy with their picks and setups, which seem pretty stable and meteoric.
So far, LGD have yet to face the favorites of their home region, apart from the revamped FunPlus Phoenix, and have only been able to defeat Oh My God before the break. And the recent pocket from Rare Atom just proved that they are deservedly in their place.
I still think that LGD Gaming at the end of the group stage will remain in their own 15th place in the table, with a small chance of winning back a maximum of one position. The rest of the teams look frankly stronger, although not stable.
Ingredients of LGD:
- fearness - top lane.
- shad0w - forest.
- YeG - mid lane.
- Eric - bot lane.
- Jinjiao - support.
Meeting history
It would not be funny, but in personal confrontations at Victory Five tournaments they won only 2 times, while the LGD Gaming team as many as 6 times.
In fairness, I’ll say that this is only the 4th season for V5 in the professional League, and their roster is now completely new and intimidating to the enemy.
Match result
For me, the picture here is as follows: Victory Five is two, if not all three heads stronger than its rival in the face of LGD Gaming. They now do not have a single reason and circumstance to throw out this game.
I really want to say that this is a clear victory for V5, but knowing their features is 50% to 50%. Will V5 win? Yes, with a 95% chance.
Therefore, I advise you to bet simply on their victory. And suddenly, the coefficient seems too low, you can bet a little on the account 2:1 in favor of the same Victory Five.
