Match Prediction: Bilibili Gaming - Golden Guardians | LoL
Mid-Season Invitational 2023 Group AGood to see you on EGamersWorld.
We've put together a betting tip for the Bilibili Gaming vs Golden Guardians match at the Play-In Mid-Season Invitational 2023. The International match is interesting for several reasons.
Firstly, it's a match to advance to the next stage of MSI 2023. The winner of this match advances to the group stage of the first major tournament in 2023.
Secondly, it is a clash of two major regions. Representatives from North America and China rarely face each other and MSI is the perfect arena for a showdown.
We will tell you which team will be stronger to advance to the group stage of MSI 2023 and who will get the last chance to compete in the lower bracket.
Here we go.
Bilibili Gaming form
We begin our match analysis with an analysis of Bilibili Gaming's form. They will be the favourites to win the match.
The bookmakers are confident of an early success for BBG. The odds for the victory of the representatives of the Celestial Empire are estimated at around 1.2.
That number is easy to believe, and it's not the only thing that lets us know that BBG have an advantage. For starters, it should be noted that Bilibili Gaming represent the Chinese region, and it is historically stronger than North America.
However, Bilibili Gaming's record also speaks for them. The new season has seen the team transform and quickly break into the LPL top tier, giving them an edge over the top clubs.
Bilibili Gaming ran over the heads of RNG, Weibo, Oh My God (twice) and EDward Gaming in the LPL 2023 Spring Split. Needless to say, they gave battle to JD Gaming in the Ledgeiv semi-finals with a minimum margin of 2-3.
- Bilibili Gaming line-up: Bin, XUN, Yagao, Elk, ON.
Frankly, Bilibili Gaming's line-up is definitely not for the Play-In MSI 2023. Yagao, Bin are top class players. Combined with XUN, Elk and ON, they pose a threat to top clubs and run over teams of lower status without a chance. Such was the case in the first round of the Play-In.
Bilibili Gaming faced off against Rainbow7 in the first round of Play-In MSI 2023. The outcome was all too obvious - absolute destruction from the Chinese squad.
Bilibili Gaming's most popular champions
- Top line: Renekton (7 games, 71% wins), KSante (7 games, 85% wins), Sion (4 games, 100% wins)

- Gunner: Zeri (2 games, 100% wins), Aphelios (2 games, 100% wins).
- Supporters: Lulu (2 games, 100% wins), Rakan (2 games, 100% wins).
If you are ready to believe in China in general and Bilibili Gaming in particular - pick Bilibili Gaming as the winner of the match with a bet at odds of 1.2.
Next, let's talk about Golden Guardians' opportunities, their path to the Mid-Season Invitational and their options against BBG.
Golden Guardians form
We continue our coverage of the Golden Guardians vs Bilibili Gaming encounter with a look at the American squad's form. They will play here in underdog status, and by a wide margin.
Bookmakers do not believe in the success of the Golden Guardians. The odds on their victory are estimated at around 3.8.
This is based on the fact that the Golden Guardians belong to the American region. We have already mentioned that China is almost always stronger than North America, and this MSI is no exception.
Golden Guardians can fight it out though, there's a reason they got to this stage here. And they have had a very busy journey.
In general, Golden Guardians are the dark horse in North America this season and the runners-up in previous seasons. At the LCS Spring 2023 the Golden Guardians made a splash and jumped ahead of the game. The team qualified for the play-offs and later reached the grand final from the first round of the last-chance grid, including passing 100 Thieves and FlyQuest on their way.
A similar path with Bilibili Gaming, but both 100 Thieves and FlyQuest are still a long way from EDG-level teams, for example.
- Golden Guardians: Licorice, River, Gori, Stixxay, huhi.
Of course, the Golden Guardians have their own heroes like Gori and Huhi who are the creators of victories, but they can hardly compete with their colleagues from Bilibili Gaming.
The only teams that will be able to do so are lower-ranked teams, preferably from the Minor regions. GAM Esports, for example, whom Golden Guardians shut out in the first MSI match without any problems.
Golden Guardians' most popular champions
- Top Line: Gwen (3 matches, 100% wins), Fiora (3 matches, 66% wins).
- Jungle: Wukong (5 games, 80% wins).
- Centre Line: KSante (4 games. 75% win rate).
- Shooter: Zeri (4 games, 50% wins).
- Sappers: Nami (3 games, 100% wins).
If you are ready to bet on North American success against China - place your bet on Golden Guardians win at odds around 3.8.
