Match Prediction: DAMWON Gaming - JD Gaming | LoL

We continue to review the Worlds 2022 group stage. In New York, the top 16 teams at the end of the season and the Worlds 2022 Play-In decide the fate of 8 spots in the playoffs.

We are in the second gaming day. In this analysis, we are talking about group B, and more specifically, about the match between DAMWON and JD Gaming.

A couple of “eastern” representatives of LoL will close the game day in a bo1 derby. At stake is the second win in their quartet and, as a result, a higher chance of qualifying for the playoffs.

We figure out which of the teams will be stronger and earn a second victory, and who will have to wet their statistics.

J.D. Gaming kit

JD Gaming will play as a favorite in this match. The chance of success for the Chinese club is estimated at 1.50.

Belief in JD Gaming is based, first of all, on the regional affiliation of the team. Chinese clubs are held in high esteem, and this is not surprising.

The current world champions are representatives of the LPL. Although it's not JD Gaming, JDG have beaten them this season.

The 369 team this season first took 4th place in the LPL, and in the summer they completely won the prestigious league. That is why they have a huge credibility.

So far, within the framework of Worlds, they justify it. In the first match of the group stage, JDG earned an easy victory.

So, Gangplank most often appeared in the top (7 matches, 85% of wins), but there was also Gnar (7 matches, 57% of wins).

In the woods, Viego performed best (10 matches, 9 wins). Wukong was slightly behind (7 matches, 85% of wins).

Ahri played in the center (80% of wins over 15 games). There were also “Chinese” Taliyah (87% of wins in 8 matches).

On ALC, either Aphelios (14 matches, 71% win rate) or Ezrael (10 games, 71% win rate).

Support used Nautilus (6 matches, 83% win rate) or Lulu (6 matches, 33% win rate).

DAMWON Gaming Uniform

DAMWON Gaming will play as an outsider this year. The chance of their success is estimated by bookmakers with a coefficient of around 2.4.

The gap in indicators is not significant, but the lag is noticeable. In reality, it may not work, but the situation on paper is still like this.

This season DAMWON Gaming are playing “normally”. In regards to a Korean club, “okay” doesn't always mean praise.

DAMWON Gaming after 2nd place at Worlds 2021 took 3rd and 4th place in the 2022 season at LCK. The victory at the LCK Regional Finals helped them get to the Worlds.

As part of the debut match, ShowMaker and the company earned the same easy victory as JDG.

Heroes of DAMWON Gaming

Aatrox played in toplinia (2 matches, 100% wins), in the forest either Wukong, or Sejuani, or Vi or Lee Sin - everyone except Vi had 1 match and 100% wins.

In the middle were Sylas (2 matches, 100% win), Swain (1 match, 100% win) or Vex (1 match, loss).

On the bot, Lucina was the most common. He appeared in 3 matches and won 2 of them.

Of the supports, Nami was chosen most often (66% of wins in 3 games).

History of personal confrontations

Once the teams played within Worlds 2020. A lot of water has flowed under the bridge since then, and therefore those results are not relevant. In the new lineups, the teams did not play with each other.

Match outcome

In this match, I expect a hot game, as both teams have their own playmakers and deserve to go to the playoffs. The game must be equal, and victory will be obtained in small things.

In favor of JD Gaming, as they won the LPL, but I will believe in an outsider in this match. Still, DAMWON will remember how they made it to the finals of last year's Worlds. It's tough, but they can win.

Bottom line: DAMWON wins.
