Welcome to EGamersWorld.
Let's move on to the Demacia Cup 2024 schedule. We are talking about the group stage, more specifically Group A, where 4 teams are playing.
Among the participants are LGD Gaming and FunPlus Phoenix. The teams will play each other in the 3rd match of the game day and already have one meeting each.
We are trying to figure out who of the pair LGD - FunPlus Phoenix will be stronger and earn important points ahead of the distribution of slots for play-offs.
Let's go.
FunPlus Phoenix uniforms
Let's open the analysis of the match FunPlus Phoenix vs LGD Gaming with an analysis of FPX's form. In this match they will play as favourites with odds to win at around 1.5.
Since their triumph at Worlds 2019, FPX have been unable to return to the podium in any way. There was an attempt in 2021 when FPX made it to Worlds 2021, but beyond that it was sadness.
FPX's last result was a top-15 finish at LPL Spring 2023. They played the group stage of the spring split lousy: 4-12 and now the situation is not much better.
- FPX lineup: sheer, sorrow, Care, bat, Jwei.
There were no special changes at the Long Term tournament. There were personnel decisions on management, but it does not affect the results.
Nothing helped FPX to improve the score since LPL Spring. At the summer split, the Phoenixes are in 14th place with a 4-10 record. It can improve, but they are not destined for the play-offs. In general, it happened so: FPX did not get into the play-offs LPL Summer 2023, but to be fair, they managed to get to 11th place in the group, which is not so bad.
Before Demacia Cup 2023 FPX visited NEST 2023, where the team traditionally plays well. This time there they took the top 4. Demacia Cup 2023 ended much sadder for FPX: the club played 2-2 in the group stage, which was not enough to qualify for the play-offs. As a result - TOP 16.
At LPL Spring 2024 the situation unfolded quite differently. FPX were convincing in most of their matches, which allowed them to go 11-5 and take the Top 4 of the regular season in such a competitive region.
At LPL Summer 2024, FunPlus Phoenix Long Co-angled with the Top 2 in Group A, playing there with a score of 3-3. In the Rumble Stage, the team made it to the Top 7, finishing Ascend Group with a 3-5 score, which allowed direct entry into the playoffs.
They debuted at the LPL Summer 2024 play-offs with a match against TT Gaming, where they played an evenly matched match with a score of 3-2. However, they failed to make it further into the top 8.
At the Demacia Cup 2024, Long Sogpeg started with a defeat against BLG Junior.

LGD Gaming Form.
We continue our breakdown of the LGD Gaming - FunPlus Phoenix match with an analysis of FPX's match form. In this match, they play as the number two with odds to win at around 2.5.
Since 2015, the team has failed to boast any kind of 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, we wanted to believe in progress, but it turned out to be Top 14 at LPL Spring 2023.
- LGD Gaming lineup: sasi, climber, xqw, Shaoye, Ycx.
A series of defeats led to another change in the lineup. Tested a new roster at NEST 2023, but even there we did not progress beyond 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. LPL Spring 2024 finished in their repertoire, namely on TOP-12.
At the LPL Summer 2024 Long Sogpeg from Group B, where they finished top-2. This allowed them to advance to the Rumble Stage, where, however, LGD Gaming failed to cope with the onslaught. The team played with the score 1-7, and entered the play-offs after winning the Decider-match against Invictus Gaming. However, they didn't manage to play long in the main stage, as LGD lost in the first play-offs match.
Demacia Cup 2024 opened with a match against EDward Gaming.

The pool is pretty standard: Lulu (5 matches, 40% wins), Braum (3 matches, 33% wins), Nautilus (3 matches, 0% wins), Rakan (3 matches, 0% wins).

Predicted result of the match FunPlus Phoenix - LGD Gaming at Demacia Cup 2024
In this match my bet is on FPX. I will believe in their advantage confirmed by the history of personal meetings.
Bottom line: FPX win.
