Prédiction de match: Bilibili Gaming - Top Esports {{LoL

Welcome to EGamersWorld.

League of Legends competition season is heating up. We've already opened battles in Europe and South Korea, and now it's time to start preparing for the next big region - China.

LPL remains the largest professional league on the LoL competitive scene. There will be 17 teams competing for ~$590,000. They will also battle for two spots at the 2024 Mid-Season Invitational.

Opening the long LPL Spring 2024 will be Bilibili Gaming and TOP Esports. A matchup worth having.

Let's try to figure out which team will be stronger in this duel and earn the first win ahead of the long race for the championship at LPL Spring 2024 and the fight for two trips to MSI 2024.

Let's go.

Bilibili Gaming uniforms

Let's start the match analysis by analysing Bilibili Gaming's match form. In this match they are the favourites to win with odds of 1.4.

Last season, BLG were lightning fast to break into the top 2 of the Chinese region, thus clawing their way to the Mid-Season Invitational 2023. Another sensation happened at the international event: BLG made it to the grand finals, only to lose to JD Gaming.

Another plus for BLG is the roster renewed at Long Conference 2023. The club managed to assemble a top company.

• BLG roster: Bin, XUN, knight, Elk, ON.

After a really triumphant half-year, Bilibili Gaming has not slowed down at all. The team was the first to reach the play-offs of LPL Summer 2023, and also set a local record: the only one in the history of the series finished the group stage with one defeat.

In the first match of the play-offs, TES faced off. The game was played under the dictation of vice-champions LPL Spring 2023 and BLG beat TES very confidently with a score of 3-1.

In the final of the upper grid Bilibili Gaming played against their principal rival - JD Gaming team. The reigning LPL champions left their colleagues no chance and shut down BLG with a score of 3-0.

Unlike the spring split, BLG had a slightly less confident performance in the summer. The vice-champions of the Mid-Season Invitational 2023 ended the summer split in third place, Ledgeiv in the match to advance to the LNG Esports Grand Final with a 1-3 score.

Bilibili Gaming got a pretty serious opponent in their first match at Worlds 2023. Yagao and company played against South Korea's top 3, KT Rolster, and in a 45 minute battle they were stronger.

Next up was JD Gaming and there was no way to win. However, Ledge and the first team of China, BLG got a "free" round against Fnatic, thus making the score 2-1.

BLG ran into T1 in a 2-1 basket and it didn't bode well for the Chinese club. T1 won and went on to advance, while Bilibili Gaming travelled to the net 2-2.

In the final Swiss clash, they met G2 Esports. Bilibili won 2-1, sending the first team in Europe home.

In the first round of play-offs Bilibili Gaming met Gen.G. After a rather easy 2-0, the Korean Grand equalised at 2-2, and everything was decided on the 5th map. It was decided in favour of BLG, who caught Chovy several times on Akali, and eventually sent Gen.G home empty-handed.

However, after defeating Gen.G, Bilibili Gaming failed to beat their compatriots from WBG in the match to qualify for the Worlds 2023 Grand Final.

BLG faced Royal Never Give Up in their opening match already at Demacia Cup 2023. One of the brightest teams of the group stage failed to do anything against a stronger opponent and eventually left the championship, while BLG celebrated a 3-1 victory. Ninjas in Pyjamas did not feel Ninjas in Pyjamas in the match to reach the grand finals. Neither did JD Gaming in the Demacia Cup 2023 Grand Final, outscoring their visions 3-0.

The most popular BLG characters

The most popular characters in the TOP remain: Gnar (3 matches, 66% wins), Gwen (2 matches, 0% wins), Camile (2 fights, 50% wins), Renekton (2 games, 0% wins), KSante (2 matches, 0% wins).

Jungle is dominated by VI with 6 matches and 66% wins. Also peaking are Wukong (4 games, 0% wins), Nidalee (3 games, 33% wins).

Azir (3 matches, 0% wins), Ahri (2 games, 0 wins), Galio (2 matches, 2 wins), Sylas (2 matches, 50% wins) appear in the mid.

Lucian (7 matches, 57% wins), Varus (3 matches, 33% wins), Zeri (2 matches, 0 wins) pick on shooters.

The most popular support in combination with Lucian is Nami (7 matches, 57% wins), Karma (2 games, 50% wins).

TOP Esports Form

We continue the match analysis with the analysis of TES form. In this match, the team will play the number two, with odds to win around 2.8.

In 2022, Top Esports twice finished top-2 in the domestic league, and then played at Worlds 2022, where they finished top-10. In the new season, the situation is slightly worse: they finished top-7 in the LPL Spring 2023, managing to qualify for the play-offs but failing to win a single game there.

• Tes Esports roster: 369, Tian, Creme, JackeyLove, Meiko.

The group stage for TOP Esports was pleasant, but far from perfect. TES shared the top 4 of the regular season with LNG, winning 12-4 in the series.

In their first play-offs match, TES faced serious resistance from EDG. TES defeated their counterparts by a score of 3-2.

TES fell to the bottom seed after a clash with Bilibili Gaming. That match ended in a 3-1 victory for the latter. Further bad luck continued in the lower grid of LPL Summer 2023. In the match for life at the tournament TES met LNG Esports, tried to impose a fight, but were powerless, lost with a score of 1-3 and left the tournament on the 4th line.

TES later played at the LPL Regional Finals 2023, where they tried to make it to the Worlds. Again they came up just short, as TES Ledge beat WBG 2-3, thus losing their chances to qualify for Worlds 2023.

TES also had NEST 2023, where TES did not make it out of the group, finishing 2-1. The group stage of Demacia Cup 2023 was quite easy for TOP Esports: they didn't lose a single match in Group D and easily made it to the main stage. However, TES didn't have it so easy in the play-offs: TOP Esports lost their first play-off match to Ledgeiv JDG with a score of 2-3, which is not too bad considering the overall condition of the teams during the last season.

Most Popular Top Esports Champions

KSante (7 games, 85% wins) and Renekton (5 games, 80% wins) remain the most popular top line picks. Sion (3 matches, 66% wins) and Darius (2 matches, 100% wins) are next.

In the forest, Sejuani (9 matches, 77% wins), Vi (4 matches, 75% wins), Maokai (4 games, 100% wins) are ubiquitous.

Jayce (6 games, 100% wins) appears in the mid (6 games, 100% wins). Next are Azir (4 games, 75% wins), Akali (3 games, 66% wins), Sylas (3 games, 33% wins).

TES has a standard set of shooters: Lucian (6 games, 66% wins), Varus (4 games, 100% wins), Sivir (3 games, 33% wins). Draven (3 games, 66% wins) and Jhin (3 matches, 66% wins).

Pool players: Nami (6 games, 66% wins), Yuumi (4 games, 75% wins), Nautilus (4 games, 75% wins), Heimerdinger (4 games, 100% wins).

History of head-to-head meetings between TES and Bilibili Gaming

In 2023, the teams have faced each other head-to-head a number of times. They played each other three times, and all matches were won by BLG, giving up only 1 card in all matches.

Predicted result of BLG vs TES at LPL Spring 2024

I wouldn't expect anything supernatural in this match. Bilibili Gaming look quite serious and it seems that they should not let the victory out of their hands, thus winning their first match.

Bottom line: BLG wins.
