We are moving smoothly to Group A at Worlds 2022. Here, as in principle everywhere, there will be something to look at.
The first match to be considered will be between Beyond Gaming and Chiefs eSports Club. Duel representatives of Taiwan and Oceania.
I don’t expect any special revelations from this fight, but you can see a beautiful League here. The level of the teams is not sky-high, there is no absolute favorite, like for example RNG in group B, and therefore there are all the prerequisites for a bright match.
We figure out who will earn the points needed to pass to the Worlds 2022 group stage.
Beyond Gaming Uniform
In the status of a favorite with a minimal margin here are Beyond Gaming. The club's chance of winning is 1.6.
Beyond Gaming made it to the World Championship thanks to their second place at PCS Summer 2022. They were prevented from winning the CTBC Flying Oyster.
It is noteworthy that the club is a newcomer to the competitive League of Legends. The Beyond Gaming roster was introduced in 2021, underwent a series of changes, and the last personnel reshuffle was the departure of TNS support, who left the club on September 12.

- Husha

So far, the Beyond Gaming roster at Worlds 2022 looks like this. It is possible that the team will be reshuffled before the start of the matches, we will be able to find out about this later.
Heroes Beyond Gaming
In the top, Beyond most often has Gnar. The champion has 7 matches and 57% of wins.
In the jungle, BG most often has Wukong, picked 8 times and having a win rate of 75% wins.
The central line is similar to the China region meta. Taliyah was picked 4 times (75% win rate), and Lissandra with Sylas and Ahri appeared 3 times each: the former won 1 match, but Sylas and Ahri 2 matches out of 3.
Adc takes Zeri, which is popular in Europe and Korea. She appeared 6 times and won 4 matches.
Supports Nami, Leone, Nautilus. The first has 2-2 statistics, but Leona and Nautilus won 3 matches each.
Chiefs eSports Club kit
Chiefs eSports Club will face the team from Taiwan. The club's chance of winning is estimated at around 2.
A very optimistic forecast from bookmakers. In fact, there is absolutely no certainty about this.
The club, unlike Beyond Gaming, is old and has been on the competitive scene of the League of Legends for a long time. The quality of their performances is doubtful, as well as that of Beyond Gaming: only intra-regional splits of the LCO are among the results.
For 2022, Chiefs eSports Club took 2nd place in the winter and won the last, summer.
Chiefs eSports Club roster
- Topon
- Arthur
- Tally
- Raes
- Dragku
Perhaps the performance of Chiefs eSports Club in Oceania can be associated with the presence of Korean legionnaires in the roster. Topliner and forester come from South Korea, where the League of Legends school is developed in earnest.
Heroes Chiefs eSports Club
Over the last season, Chiefs eSports Club picked Gnar and Sejuani to the top. The first won 7 matches and 7, and the ice rider 5 matches and 5.
In the jungle, the absolute win rate for Wukong. Not a single defeat in 7 matches.
Lissandra and Swain spawned most often in the mid lane. Again - the perfect win rate: 4 matches and 100% win rate.
Bot line - Kaisa and Aphelios (4 matches and 3 games, 100% wins).
On supports, Rakan was picked the most. Haven't lost a single game in 8 games.
The point is that within their region Chiefs eSports Club dominated the summer split, and therefore all the heroes have a 100% win rate.
History of personal confrontations
Previously, the clubs did not play each other in official matches. This fight will be a debut.
Match outcome
It is difficult to assess the potential of such different and distant teams. Referring to the statistics, we can conclude that Chiefs eSports Club is stronger, but this is not entirely correct.
As for me, Beyond Gaming should take the victory, showing a playstyle similar to the best teams in the title regions.
Outcome: victory for Beyond Gaming.
