The third and last match of this day as part of the spring split from China LPL Spring 2022. ThunderTalk Gaming vs. Weibo Gaming.
At the end of the day, we will see how the main outsider of the tournament will compete for victory with a relatively good mid-level team that managed to win at NEST 2021.
From what I see now, the TT team is showing itself very weakly and I would attribute to them a nominal defeat against all other teams. So far, I can not imagine a match where they were the favorite.

ThunderTalk is one of the lagging LPL teams of previous seasons and seems to be the main outsider, at least in this split.
Over the past two years, they have shown not the most consoling results, sitting in last place. So the last two seasons have shown the tendency of the team to often experiment with their composition, which is not so often a plus.
My opinion has not changed in any way from the previous forecast: in all matches they only proved it, losing outright three times already. The players show extremely good performance on a personal level, however, from well-coordinated team movements and actions from the opponent, they immediately begin to crumble.
ThunderTalk Gaming roster:
- New - top lane.
- Frigid - forest.
- Captian - mid lane.
- Puff - bot lane.
- Southwind - support.
Weibo Gaming Uniform
WG assembled their team less than a month ago for Demacia Cup 2021, where they performed mediocrely with a score of 2-2 in their group matches.
However, they managed to beat the guys from Oh My God and ThunderTalk Gaming. If there is no question about the latter, then the victory over OMG is a relatively decent result, as for a newly born team. What became especially iconic within this LPL Spring 2022 split, where OMG is still on horseback.
Now they have strengthened their roster with a new top laner - TheShy, who has been playing for Invictus Gaming for a long time.
The guys beat Team WE to zero, which I did not believe in. Then they flew off with a score of 1:2 from Bilibili Gaming, in a worthy battle, but flew off.
So far, they look pretty good for a team that does not claim to be in the top 5 of the tournament.
Weibo Gaming roster:
- TheShy is top lane.
- SofM - forest.
- Angel - mid lane.
- huanfeng - bot lane.
- SwordArt - support.
Meeting history
Considering how new the WBG is in its region as an organization, it will not be surprising that the teams have never met with each other.
This match will be the starting point in the history of the confrontation between these two teams.
Match result
I think the only outcome where WBG [I1] I can lose to TT players if they underestimate the opponent and relax too much. But, let me remind you, we are talking about professional eSports. Therefore, this probability is small.
I would like to bet on 2:0 in favor of Weibo Gaming, but I'm not sure about this outcome of the match. Perhaps ThunderTalk Gaming will be able to snatch one card from them with a good pick.
I would just bet on Weibo Gaming to win.
