Match Prediction: SK Gaming - Rogue | LoL
LEC Summer 2022 - Group StageGreetings to all League of Legends esports fans! At EGamersWorld, together we continue to analyze the events of LEC Summer 2022 and make our predictions. Let me remind you that this is the largest League of Legends tournament in Europe, and €200,000 EUR and three places at Worlds 2022 are at stake.
SK Gaming vs Rogue
This summer's nominal underdog against a top tier team
Second match today. Rogue and SK Gaming will meet in a duel. I will say right away that the position of SK is far from being the most enviable. The strat of the tournament completely failed and they were able to pick up only one victory for four defeats. But now one of the strongest teams in the LEC becomes their opponent, which is likely to continue their number of defeats.
SK Gaming Uniform
Another relatively average LEC team of the past four years, but half a head below their current rival. Most often, they took places just below the middle of the list, not reaching the playoffs.
After the end of 2018, the team lost its good roster with Scarface, Phrenic, SozPurefect and began to change the roster literally at the beginning of each new split, which is not reflected in the best way on chemistry. Fortunately, now the roster has remained untouched since LEC Spring 2022.
At the very start, they outplayed Team BDS and then caught 4 defeats in a row from strong and weak LEC teams. Globally, they understand what they have to do and how to move around the map, but often do not play out in the game around objects and spend unnecessary resources for the sake of another kill.
I want to note their draft as a separate item. Either they are so unlucky and the enemy constantly wins the draft, or the team itself takes not very working and harmonious compositions. A big and fat minus in their piggy bank.

Shape Rogue
Rogue is one of the three main favorites and contenders for leadership in this tournament. Those who are rightfully called the main rival of G2 Esports.
The guys took first place in the group stage of the LEC Spring 2022 and lost to G2 only in the final of the playoffs, with a score of 0:3. Before that, they also took the championship at LEC Summer 2021 in groups and performed well at the Worlds of that year.
In the spring, we saw an updated roster from the team, which was a fairly expected move on their part. After all, Rogue constantly lacks the strength for the “last push” to finish the European playoffs in order to show itself better in world tournaments. New jungler Malrang straight from South Korea who will bring new experience to the team and ADC from Greece Comp.
So far, they have lost two games to Fnatic with G2 and almost let go of the game with MAD, but they are going quite confidently against weaker teams with a score of 3-2 in matches.
A very strong team that does not let go of the mistakes of its opponent and is good at team battles. But there is a problem that they can get lost when they impose their own pace of the game.

Meeting history
The teams have a rather entertaining and relatively long history of rivalry. However, both in general statistics and in all recent matches, Rogue demonstrate their almost complete superiority.
SK Gaming 1:0 Rogue – LEC Spring 2022 Group Stage
SK Gaming 0:1 Rogue – LEC Spring 2022 Group Stage
SK Gaming 0:1 Rogue – LEC Summer 2021 Group Stage
SK Gaming 0:1 Rogue – LEC Summer 2021 Group Stage
SK Gaming 0:1 Rogue – LEC Spring 2021 Group Stage
Match outcome
Without any doubts, Rogue are the clear favorites here, and, to a greater extent, because SK Gaming themselves are looking extremely weak right now, while most of the teams this summer are showing very good competitive game for the result. A match from the category “you can put an apartment”, but I do not advise you to do this.
Outcome: Rogue will win this meeting
