The second meeting of this day, in which two teams will compete: Ultra Prime and the recently sensational Weibo Gaming. This match will take place as part of the China LPL Spring 2022 split.
On the one hand we have Ultra Prime players. At the beginning of this tournament, as many as three rather strong teams were caught in a row and only began to win back and snatch their places in the rankings due to equal and weaker teams.
And here are the very Weibo Gaming that flared up at FunPlus Phoenix and ate EDward Gaming for the main course with a clear victory. Is there anything else worth writing? These guys are now instilling fear throughout the LPL.
Form Ultra Prime
12th team on the leaderboard. A good middle peasant from the Middle Kingdom, who will take their toll.
Their roster was obviously strengthened by a new mid-laner represented by Cryin from RNG and two new coaches. The main roster itself looks good, but it takes time to implement and teamwork, as well as understanding from coaches.
I have already said that the accomplishments of UP ended with the favorites of the region like EDG or FPX. Serious teams have not yet succumbed to them, as happened in a recent match with LNG. Top Esports continued the series of defeats on the favorites, however, they managed to take one card away from them. The second incident was EDward Gaming, who also managed to win back the second map.
But even after a losing streak, the team managed to pick up the courage and show a good game against LGD and IG.
Nevertheless, after the break, they still underestimated Anyone's Legend and outpicked themselves, after which they caught another pocket from the Phoenixes.
Among all the middle teams, they look, in my opinion, quite well. And if they catch the courage, they will be able to compete with tricky JD Gaming or Victory Five. I am sure that they will still compete for 1-2 places in the ranking.
Composition of Ultra Prime:
- zs - top lane.
- H4cker - forest.
- Cryin - mid lane.
- Elk - bot lane.
- ShiauC - support.
Weibo Gaming Uniform
The 2nd team on the LPL Spring 2022 leaderboard, which is already breathing down the back of the remaining favorite LNG Esports, as if hinting that they are next.
An updated roster… No, I would even say a refreshed roster that Weibo Gaming bought from Suning.
All the same faces we saw at Suning, but now they've added a top-lane Korean in the person of TheShy, who is definitely doing his part.
They are going to the spring split, so far, with a score of 6-1 in matches and during all this time they have played with all strong opponents, except for Royal Never Give Up and LNG Esports.
The team received one single defeat in the very first week of the tournament against Bilibili Gaming, who may have been underestimated and the main problems, in my opinion, were more in the peak than in the game.
The guys show an extremely cool and aggressive game, which can be imposed even on the current champions, which was perfectly demonstrated recently. I dare say that at the end of the group stage they will be in the top 3.
Weibo Gaming roster:
- TheShy is top lane.
- SofM - forest.
- Angel - mid lane.
- huanfeng - bot lane.
- ON - support.
Meeting history
For Weibo Gaming, as a newly created team, this meeting with Ultra Prime will be the first.
However, with the old line-up of Suning, which has not changed much, they played each other 4 times, and it was Suning who won in the last 3 meetings.
Match result
Weibo Gaming are looking really strong right now inside their home region and beyond. But Ultra Prime slightly weakened and moved away from the image of a strong middling.
I think that this meeting will end with a score of 2:0 in favor of WBG without unnecessary difficulties.
