The League of Legends World Championship is gaining momentum. In Mexico, the second day of the competition starts, which are now at the Play-In stage.
Behind the first day of the games, which, although it turned out to be predictable in most cases, presented a few surprises. Now we are talking about Group A, in particular, the DetonatioN FocusMe match.
We are waiting for the classic confrontation between teams claiming random success. Objectively, both do not reach the level of the group stages.
Naturally, everything can change and a conditional DFM or CEC will break into the group stage, surprising everyone and themselves in the first place. The scenario is very fantastic, but now is not about that.
Now let's figure out who will be stronger in this match and earn additional (possibly critical) points to advance to the second stage of the Play-In.
Form DetonatioN FocusMe
DetonatioN FocusMe will be the favorite for this match. The success of the bookmaker's team is estimated by odds around 1.6.
Quite a logical figure for such a confrontation. DetonatioN FocusMe cannot be called an absolute favorite, but they have an advantage.
Firstly, the team plays in a more competitive region, where it performs well. The team has won both LJLs this year.
Secondly, DetonatioN FocusMe played on the international arena and did pretty well at their level. Top 10 at MSI is a good start for the future and an opportunity to learn from the best.
As for me, quite good. True, the opening match against LOUD turned out to be crumpled. DFM completely failed the fight, unable to counter the opponents from Brazil with anything.
Worlds 2022 Results
- Lost against LOUD with a score of 0-1
In the first match, DetonatioN FocusMe got 5 kills, losing in 23 minutes. A total stomp that could break the morale of the team. We hope this doesn't happen.
Composition of DetonatioN FocusMe
- Evi
- Steal
- Yaharong
- Yutapon
- Harp
The three legionnaires did not help in the first confrontation, but they still have a chance to win back.
Heroes of DetonatioN FocusMe
We look at the heroes throughout the season, because the Worlds meta is not particularly formed yet.
Top lane in Gnar with 5 matches and 80% win rate.
Forester - Wukong. He has 9 matches and 8 of them won.
On the mid lane, opponents should be wary of Ahri. The character appeared 5 times and never let the team down.
The team most often has Zeri in the adk position. The lightning character was selected in 6 games and lost only 1 of them.
Supports - Nami, Yuumi, Renata Glasc. The first two have 100% wins in 3 games, Renata has won twice.
Chiefs Esports Club kit
Chiefs Esports Club will play in the status of a nominal outsider in this match. The team's chance of winning is estimated by a coefficient in the region of 2.2.
The gap is small and not surprising. As I noted above, the team deserves each other, but the Japanese have a slight advantage due to the level of the home league and the experience of international events.
Chiefs Esports Club at LCO Split 2 2022 became the first team in Oceania, thus making their way to Worlds 2022. Prior to that, they took 2nd place at LCO Split 1 2022, which, in general, is not quite the Worlds level, obviously.
In the debut match of the Chiefs Esports Club at Worlds 2022, they played with Fnatic. The outcome was obvious.
Chiefs Esports Club results at Worlds 2022
- Lost to Fnatic 0-1 in Play-In #1
Trapped in Summoner's Rift with Fnatic, the Australian club lasted 29 minutes. It will not be possible to single out one of the CEC players in a positive way, except that Arthur on the forest Graves finished the match with a one-man CD.
Chiefs Esports Club Roster
- Topon
- Arthur
- Tally
- Raes
- Dragku
Remembering Arthur a little higher, it is worth noting that he is a Korean legionnaire. I have already spoken about the level of development of discipline in that region.
Heroes Chiefs eSports Club
Prior to the start of the Worlds Chiefs, Esports Club did not lose a single match in the summer split, using Gnar in the TOP, Wukong in the jungle, Ahri in the mid and so on.
Yesterday against Fnatic they decided to play with Gwen, Graves, Swain, Tristana and Braum. This five has zero winrate so far.
History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams did not fight in official matches. This fight will be the debut confrontation between the teams.
Match outcome
In this fight, despite the opening games, I'm more impressed by the Japanese. Yes, they lost to not the most formidable opponent, while they did it “into a salad”. Now is the time for a comeback, because if not now, then when?
Outcome: victory for DetonatioN FocusMe.
