Match Prediction: JD Gaming - FunPlus Phoenix | LoL
LPL Spring 2022 - Group Stage (Week 1-5)Second match of the day. Again we see a picture with the favorite of the tournament against one of the lagging teams.
On the one hand, we will be met by JD Gaming, who finally managed to bounce back a bit and comeback after two defeats in a row against strong teams. In fact, the players do not look so bad.
On the other hand, ex-world champions with their new roster, who proved that they can do it even after Doinb left for LNG and replaced other equally important positions.
J.D. Gaming kit
Even before the start of the main split, I wanted to and already mentally attributed JDG to one of the main outsiders of the tournament, but now I see the opposite. Before that, they flew off with a score of 0 - 4 in matches at Demacia Cup 2021 in a weak group. And the whole season last year the team did not go.
However, at a meeting with the current world champions in League of Legends, they showed themselves far from the worst.
They showed good tactical decisions during the game, and their ideas were quite working. But when something didn't go according to JDG's original plan, the guys fell out.
Exactly the same game we could see against RNG, with the help of which they even managed to win back one map for themselves. Given their past seasons, this result is quite satisfactory.
The last match where I was confident in their victory (as it happened) was the meeting with LGD, which the JD Gaming team took in their favor without any problems.
Now I think that against the background of the rest of the LPL Spring 2022 teams in their current form, JDG will be able to take one of the middle positions at the end of the groups.
JD Gaming roster:
- 369 - top lane.
- Kanavi - forest.
- Yagao - mid lane.
- Hope - bot lane.
- Missing - support.
FunPlus Phoenix shape
Previously, many bookmakers, analysts and commentators were extremely skeptical about how FPX reassembled their team, where only one of the conditional "oldies" remained Lwx.
At Demacia Cup 2021, they flew off Top Esports with the same line-up, which seem to be quite good now, but clearly do not compete with the “phoenixes” in terms of level.
And in the very first match against Royal Never Give Up, the “reborn phoenixes” simply took and destroyed all doubts about the reliability of their new roster. The team played really well on all fronts.
Of the top 3 strong teams of this split: EDward Gaming, FunPlus Phoenix, LNG Esports - so far only FPX have met with a more or less strong team represented by RNG and showed some limits.
Speaking about the next two matches against the average and frankly weak teams of Anyone's Legend and LGD Gaming, the victory of the "phoenixes" was not a surprise.
FPX Ingredients:
- xiaolaohu - top lane.
- Beichuan - forest.
- gori - mid lane.
- Lwx - bot lane.
- Hang - support.
Meeting history
In total, the teams met each other 13 times within the framework of various tournaments in China, especially the LPL splits. FunPlus Phoenix won 8 times and JD Gaming won 5 times.
From 2019 to now, in my opinion, a certain dominance from the side of FPX is visible.
Match result
I think that JD Gaming on this split will not be able to compete with the guys from FunPlus Phoenix and will lose again after winning back on LGD.
I would bet 2:0 in favor of FPX.
