Welcome to EGamersWorld.
The largest league on the League of Legends competitive scene is gaining momentum. In the group stage of LPL Spring 2024, the third game day is getting ready for Long Cog.
The honour of opening the next round of confrontations fell to Ninjas in Pyjamas and LGD Gaming. Globally, not the hottest match, but in the context of LPL Spring 2024 - will go.
Let's see which of the teams will be stronger and at the end of the match will be the winner, thus earning the first points in the group stage of LPL Spring 2024.
Let's go.
Ninjas in Pyjamas uniforms.
We start the analysis of the match by analysing NiP's form. In this match, the Ninjas will play the number one side, with odds to win at around 1.1.
The first tournament for the Ninjas was LPL Spring 2023. NiP finished in the top 13, which is not a terrible result for their debut.
- NiP roster: shanji, Aki, Rookie, Photic, Zhuo.
After the Top 13 at LPL Spring 2023, Ninjas in Pyjamas resorted to stand-ins. They affected both the management and the playing staff. The changes were clearly beneficial, because in the summer split NiP looked fresh and deservedly passed in the play-offs LPL Summer 2023. In the group stage, NiP finished in the top 10 and made it to the play-offs, where they even managed to make it through the first round and ended up in the top 8.
In between LPL Summer 2023 and Demacia Cup 2023, NiP visited NEST 2023. They didn't play seriously there and made it to the top 8.
At Demacia Cup 2023 NiP look quite good. They confidently passed the group stage, winning all their matches.
NiP continued to show class in the play-offs. The first match of the main stage was against the vice-champions of Worlds 2023 Weibo Gaming. And not just played, but won - in a serious fight (3-2).
The most popular champions of Ninjas in Pyjamas
The NiP top line is taken by Jax (3 matches, 33% wins), Gwen (2 matches, 50% wins), Gangplank (2 matches, 50% wins), Jayce (2 games, 50% wins).
In the woods, Maokai (7 matches, 42% wins), Sejuani (4 games, 25% wins), Vi (3 games, 66% wins) were permanent.
The centre line was most often occupied by Sylas (5 matches, 40% wins), Ryze (3 games, 100% wins), Akali (2 games, 0 wins).
Zeri and Sivir peaked equally often on the shooter position. Both heroes appeared 4 times, but the former won all his games, and the latter - none.
Ashe appeared most often amongst the Spurrots. Archer was chosen 5 times and won 2 matches. Yuumi (4 matches, 75% wins), Heimerdinger (4 matches, 25% wins) were also frequently played.
LGD Gaming uniforms
Let's move on to the analysis of the LGD Gaming uniform. In this match, the team will perform as the number two, with odds to win around 4.9.
Since 2015, the team cannot boast of any performance. The last season is no exception.
LGD Gaming failed miserably in the 2022 season when they finished top-14 and top-16 at LPL Spring and LPL Summer respectively. In 2023 I wanted to believe in progress, but it turned out to be TOP-14 at LPL Spring 2023.
- LGD Gaming lineup: Burdol, Meteor, haichao, Kepler, Jinjiao.
After a full-blown failure at LPL Spring 2023, the team resorted to point changes, but little progress is evident. Xiaoxu left the LGD camp at the Long Split, while Fearness and Envy were the new arrivals. Unfortunately for LGD and their fans, the changes in the squad did not lead to anything and the top Chinese club in the League of Legends is still in the last ranks: LPL Summer 2023 took the last, 17th place, which can not be called a result.
A string of defeats led to another change in the squad. We tested a new roster at NEST 2023, but even there we didn't advance further than the group stage - TOP-17.
It was not much better at Demacia Cup 2023. Although LGD Gaming played in the group 3-1, they still could not make it to the play-offs.
LGD Gaming's most popular champions
KSante (4 matches, 25% winrate), Malphite (3 matches, 0% wins), Gragas (3 matches, 66% wins), Gnar (3 matches, 0% wins) are the most frequently sent to the top line.
In the forest they play with Graves (4 matches, 25% wins), Wukong (4 matches, 25% wins), Kindred (3 matches, 66% wins).
The centre line by measure is Annie (6 matches, 16% wins), Neeko (5 matches, 20% wins), Ahri (4 matches, 50% wins).
Aphelios (6 matches, 16% wins) is the most frequently chosen shooter. There are also Jinx (2 matches, 50% wins) and Xayah (2 matches, 0% wins).
The pool of players is pretty standard: Lulu (5 matches, 40% wins), Braum (3 matches, 33% wins), Nautilus (3 matches, 0% wins), Rakan (3 matches, 0% wins).
History of head-to-head meetings LGD Gaming - Ninjas in Pyjamas
The teams have played each other 3 times. Twice during the LPL and once at NEST. The score is 2-1 in favour of NiP.
Predicted result of NiP vs LGD at LPL Spring 2024
As far as I am concerned, everything should be very clear in this match. NiP will take the series in their piggy bank, as they look quite vigorous. And it was noticeable in the last season of the LPL.
Bottom line: NiP win.
