Prédiction de match: SK Gaming - Rogue {{LoL

Welcome to EGamersWorld.

We continue our review of the new competitive season of League of Legends. And we're watching it with LEC Winter 2024, one of the first major tournaments in LoL's 14th professional season.

The European league will award $80,000 and spots at MSI and LEC Finals 2024. Among the contenders for the prizes are SK Gaming and Rogue, who will first fight for the LEC Winter 2024 play-offs and then the honours.

Truth be told, the two teams don't stand much of a chance. Nominally, the best result for the sides is to get to the middle of the table, but this is quite a difficult task as well.

Anyway, after this match one of the teams will have a much better chance to qualify for the play-offs (where 8 teams go). We'll try to figure out how much.

Let's go.

Rogue uniforms

Let's start the analysis of the match by analysing Rogue's form. They are nominally number one in this match, with odds to win at around 1.88, which is basically an even situation.

Rogue has a very The International here at LEC Winter 2024. The fact is that the team missed the entire 2023 and only in the run-up to 2024 returned to the expanses of the competitive League of Legends. This is, in principle, a very logical decision, because in 2022 Rogue showed high results.

First, they proved themselves at LEC Spring 2022, reaching the Grand Final of the Spring Split. Then G2 stepped in and prevented Rogue from ending the season with a triumph.

However, fortune proved favourable in the next European league. At LEC Summer 2022, Rogue finished top-3 in the group stage, and then played a pretty tough play-offs: a 3-2 win over MAD Lions, a 0-3 loss to G2, a small final win over Fnatic, and finally an undisputed championship with a 3-0 win over G2.

Rogue visited Worlds 2022 in October the season before last. They were not expected to make it to Worlds 2022, but Rogue exceeded many expectations by making it to the play-offs. At the end of the tournament, the team finished in the top 8, which is an absolute success for European residents.

• Rogue line-up: Szygenda, Markoon, Larssen, Comp, Zoelys.

In the new season the core of Koi plays for Rogue, which is quite logical, because the club absorbed the slot of the Spanish organisation.

Rogue's most popular champions

Ornn (4 games, 25% wins), Gangplank (4 games, 100% wins), Gnar (4 games, 50% wins), Gwen (4 games, 50% wins) were equally wielded on top.

Wukong (4 matches, 75% wins), Vi (3 games, 33% wins), Trundle (3 matches, 33% wins) played in the forest.

Azir (6 matches, 66% wins), Taliyah (4 games, 25% wins) played on the centre.

ADC position was closed with Kalista (5 matches, 40% of wins), Ezrael (3 matches, 66% of wins), Sivir (3 matches, 66% of wins).

Renata Glasc (3 games, 33% wins), Rakan (3 matches, 100% wins), Nami (2 matches, 100% wins) were selected.

SK Gaming uniforms

We continue the match analysis with SK Gaming form. In this match they play nominally second number, with odds to win around 1.9.

The main achievement of SK Gaming last season was the debut winter LEC split. The team, being among the outsiders and previously ranked top 8 at LEC Spring and LEC Summer, managed not only to make it to the play-offs, but also to put up a serious fight against MAD Lions in the match for the top 3.

What followed was much worse. At LEC Spring 2023 SK Gaming were not so confident. This time they managed to pass the regular season and bo1 matches, but not the group stage. SK fell in the top 7.

• SK Gaming roster: Irrelevent, Isma, Nisqy, Exakick, Doss.

At LEC Summer 2023 SK Gaming almost repeated the spring result, with a slight improvement. They took the top 6, but thanks to the top 4 at LEC Winter 2023 they still reached the regional finals.

However, SK Gaming's achievements ended at the LEC 2023 finals. There they played the only match against BDS and lost 0-3 without a chance.

SK Gaming's most popular champions

The top SK Gaming picks were Gnar (2 games, 1 win), KSante (1 game, 0 wins), Camile (1 game, 1 win), Sion (1 game, 1 win), Renekton (1 game, 1 win).

Sejuani and Eliza are honoured in the forest. Both champions have appeared twice each and won both matches, but Vi and Kindred have lost their games.

On the centre line, Sertuss performs on Sylas (2 matches, 50% wins), Kassadin (1 time, 0 wins), Azir, Syndra and Akali (1 game each and 100% wins).

From shooters - Zeri. The character appeared 3 times and won 2 matches, besides Varus (who lost the only match), Sivir and Lucian.

Karma, who has had enough of Karma, as well as Renata Glasc and Lulu. Yummi won two matches out of 3, Karma lost the only game, and Renata Glasc and Lulu won.

SK Gaming - Rogue

Given Rogue's absence from last season's LEC, we can say that this will be the debut clash between the sides.

Predicted result of SK Gaming vs Rogue at LEC Winter 2024

We should expect a pretty serious fight in this match. Both sides look like evenly matched teams and the odds point to that. I still believe in the success of Rogue for good measure. If the management manages to create the same atmosphere inside the team as they did in 2022 - the output will definitely be there.

Bottom line: a Rogue win.
