Welcome to EGamersWorld.
Professional League of Legends is gaining momentum everywhere and anywhere, and the Chinese region is no exception. At the titular LPL Spring 2024, the play-offs begin, with 10 teams battling it out for the Chinese championship, cash reward and trips to MSI 2024.
I will remind you that LPL Spring 2024 is the largest regional league with the largest number of play-offs participants, as well as the largest prize pool of any regional league from Riot Games. LPL Spring 2024 will feature $580,000 in prize money, with OMG and Team WE among the contenders.
It is OMG and Team WE who will open the play-offs of LPL Spring 2024 with their face-to-face Bo5 match. We will try to find out which of the teams will be stronger in the first round of the main stage of LPL Spring 2024 and, as a result, will move further down the grid, where the winner of the pair will already be waiting for NiP.
waiting for NiP.
Let's go.
Team WE Form.
Let's open our match analysis with a look at Team WE's form. In this match they will play the number one.
The season before last, Team WE frankly failed. The team took 15th place at LPL Spring 2022 and 17th at LPL Summer 2022. However, they managed to improve a bit during LPL Spring 2023.
Getting into the play-offs of LPL Spring 2023 is already an indicator. Team WE won 8 matches out of 16 played to advance to the main stage. However, they failed to move further into the top 10.
After a very poor performance on the home stage, Team WE continued to play in the LPL, namely at the summer split - LPL Summer 2023. In the course of the tournament, WE managed to finish in the top 9 of the group stage, thus guaranteeing themselves a play-offs appearance. However, everything ended in the first round of the main stage: WE lost to EDG with a score of 1-3 and left the championship, having finished LPL Summer 2023 in the top 10.
Prior to playing at Demacia Cup 2023, Team WE also played at NEST 2023. It was another hybrid Asian championship where professionals and amateurs play in one place. There WE played very confidently in the group, took the 2nd place and entered the play-offs, but were immediately beaten by JD Gaming. As a result - TOP-6.
- The composition of Team WE: Wayward, Heng, FoFo, Prince, Iwandy.
At Demacia Cup they are approaching with an experimental lineup. Prince is NOT the core, but otherwise it's pretty serious. However, this did not help Team WE to get out of the group: at the end of Demacia Cup 2023 the team took the top 12, which is not a good result.
Team WE, being a mid-table team at best, managed to reach the main stage of LPL Spring 2024, which is a good result.
Team WE's most popular champions
On the top line, Team WE has no revelations. The team picks KSante (4 matches, 50% wins), Renekton (3 games, 33% wins), Gnar (3 matches, 66% wins).
In the forest all the same, more or less standard: VI (7 games, 57% wins), Maokai (3 games, 66% wins), Poppy and Sejuani 2 matches and 0 wins each.
On the centre line with no deviations. There are Azir (4 matches, 50% wins), Ryze (4 games, 50% wins), Syndra (2 games, 50% wins), Cassiopeia (2 matches, 50% wins).
The championship among shooters is held by Lucian. Champion appeared 5 times, but won only 2 matches. Tried to Zeri, but failed: 0-3 in three appearances.
Among the supporting champions, Nami was a success. She was picked up 5 times, and her winrate was 40%. Yummi (3 games, 0% win rate) and Ashe (3 games, 66% win rate) were also picked.
Oh My God Form.
We continue our match breakdown with an analysis of Oh My God's match form. In this match they will play from a catch-up position.
OMG are not known for their performance, but they have been somewhere in the middle for virtually their entire history. That was the case in 2022 when OMG were in the top 10 of the LPL Summer 2022.
OMG looked much more formidable after the restarts before the start of the 2023 season. Their first big result was a top-4 finish at LPL Spring 2023, and that's quite an accomplishment.
- Oh My God line-up: Cube, xiaofang, Angel, Able, ppgod.
At the end of LPL Summer 2023, Oh My God finished in the top 8. They advanced to the play-offs, the second round of the main stage where they played against EDward Gaming. They failed to beat the title club, as a result 2-3.
In addition to participating in the regional championships of the LPL series, OMG played at the local event NEST 2023. There, by the way, Oh My God showed a really high level of play. Despite sluggish play in the group stage, having reached the play-offs from the second place of their basket, Oh My God beat Bilibili and FunPlus Phoenix in turn, but reaching the finals could not match Royal Never Give Up.
Later there was a similar tournament to NEST 2023 called Demacia Cup 2023, where academic teams also played. There the team failed to make it out of the group.
At the actual LPL Spring 2024 Oh My God showed a very "scrappy" league. They played with a score of 8-8, which was barely enough to pass to the main stage.
Oh My God's most popular champions
In OMG peaks, KSante (6 matches, 50% wins), Sion (2 matches, 50% wins) appeared on the top line.
Foresters were picked by Sejuani (4 matches, 50% wins), Wukong (3 matches, 33% wins), Vi (2 matches, 50% wins), Maokai (2 matches, 50% wins). Poppy was also winning.
On the centre line, the most piked were the contact killers. Sylas and Yone were picked three times each, both won 2 matches each.
Lucian was the most frequent shooter. The champion was picked 5 times, and he won 2 matches. Zeri (3 games, 100% wins), Varus (2 matches, 50% wins) were also picked.
The pool of players is quite familiar. Karma (2 games, 50% wins), Yuumi (2 matches, 100% wins), Nami (2 games, 50% wins).
History of head-to-head meetings between OMG and Team WE
Previously the teams played each other three times last year. All matches were won by OMG.
Predicted result of Team WE - Oh My God at LPL Spring 2024
In this match my bet is on OMG. I believe in their victory because of their confident face-offs and dominance there. Both clubs looked the same during the regular season, so we can expect something like 3-1 in favour of OMG.
Bottom line: Oh My God wins.
