Good to see you on EGamersWorld.
We continue to watch the group stage of LPL Summer 2023. We've reached the last match of game day 5 of week 6 of the regular season.
We have the top match and the central clash of the day coming up. TES and Oh My God will meet in a head-to-head encounter.
To be honest, matches like this are a rarity in the modern LPL. At least for the group stage, where 17 teams with quite different levels of performance are playing. Thankfully Oh My God and TES aren't on that list.
On paper it would seem that TOP Esports is the clear favorite and the future winner of this boo3. However, I wouldn't expect an easy ride for them. Oh My God they have really stepped up their game in 2023 and they could certainly give TES some serious competition.
We will try to analyze who will be stronger in this match and improve their already good showing in the standings.
Let's go.
TOP Esports form
We begin the analysis of the match with the analysis of the title club TOP Esports. In this match, they will be in the status of the favorite.
Bookmakers confirm the advantage of TES. On their victory they give odds in the region of 1.5.
Such a figure, although it indicates the advantage of TES, it clearly does not put them in the status of clear favorites. All because of the increased level of play Oh My God and not the most confident performance of TES.
In 2022, Top Esports finished top-2 twice in their home league and then played at Worlds 2022, where they finished top-10. In the new season, the situation is a little worse: in the LPL Spring 2023, they finished top-7, managing to qualify for the play-offs, but not winning a single game there.
- Tes Esports: Wayward, Tian, RooKie, JackeyLove, Mark.
Despite all the minimal adversity, however, TES remain a top team that can do well in the group stage. So far, they're doing just that.
The team is 9-3 ahead of Oh My God, but they also have a match against big rival Bilibili Gaming in store. Anything can happen.
Top Esports' most popular champions
KSante (7 matches, 85% wins) and Renekton (5 matches, 80% wins) remain the most popular picks for the top line. Next up are Sion (3 games, 66% wins) and Darius (2 matches, 100% wins).
In the forest the ubiquitous Sejuani (9 games, 77% wins), Vi (4 games, 75%), Maokai (4 games, 100%).
Jayce (6 games, 100% wins) is the most frequent player in the midfield. Next comes Azir (4 games, 75% wins), Akali (3 games, 66%), Sylas (3 games, 33%).
TES has a standard set of shooters: Lucian (6 matches, 66% wins), Varus (4 matches, 100% wins), Sivir (3 games, 33% wins). Draven (3 games, 66% win rate) and Jhin (3 games, 66% win rate) also happen.
The pool of players: Nami (6 games, 66% wins), Yuumi (4 games, 75% wins), Nautilus (4 games, 75% wins), Heimerdinger (4 games, 100% wins).
Form Oh My God
We continue with the analysis of Oh My God's form. In this match, the team is destined to play at number two.
Bookmakers are cautious about the prospect of a win for OMG. The odds on the team's success are around 2.4.
Back to the reasoning and the numbers. Again, 2.4 in the LPL Summer 2023 regular season is clearly not a fatal number. It indicates OMG's strength rather than their underperformance.
OMG are not known for their iconic performance, but have in fact been somewhere in the middle all their history. Such was the case in 2022 when OMG occupied the top 10 of the LPL Summer 2022.
The OMGs were much more formidable after the restarts before the start of the 2023 season. Their first big result was Top 4 in LPL Spring 2023 and what a display it is.
- Oh My God: shanji, AKi, Creme, Able, ppgod.
Oh My God has a chance to repeat the success of LPL Spring 2023. The team is currently in the 5th line with an impressive 7-3 series record.
Oh My God's most popular champions
In the OMG picks, KSante (6 matches, 50% wins), Sion (2 matches, 50% wins) have appeared on the top line.
From the Foresters, Sejuani (4 matches, 50% wins), Wukong (3 matches, 33% wins), Vi (2 matches, 50% wins), and Maokai (2 matches, 50% wins) were chosen. Poppy was also winning.
On the centre line, the contact killers were the most pickable. Sylas and Yone were picked three times each, both winning 2 matches.
Lucian was the most frequent shooter. The Champion was picked 5 times, winning 2 matches. Other picks were Zeri (3 games, 100% wins), Varus (2 games, 50% wins).
The pool of players is quite usual. Karma (2 games, 50% wins), Yuumi (2 games, 100% wins), Nami (2 games, 50% wins).
History of head-to-head encounters between TES and Oh My God
Last season OMG were better than their future rival. OMG won both the regular season and then the tournament play-offs. Both times 2-1.
The outcome of the match
In this match I expect a roughly equal fight. I am sure that Oh My God will be able to pick up at least a card, or even win the match completely.
Bottom line: +1.5 on Oh My God.
