JD Gaming uniform
We open the analysis of the match JD Gaming - LNG Esports with the analysis of JD Gaming's form. In this match they play in the status of favourite with odds to win at around 1.8.
JD Gaming became the champions of the LPL spring draw quite easily. The only difficult match came in the semifinals of the top net, where BLG gave JDG trouble by taking 2 games.
- JD Gaming roster: sheer, Kanavi, Yagao, Ruler, Missing.
Among other things, JD Gaming became the champions of the first large-scale The International event in 2023 - Mid-Season Invitational 2023. If we remember the group stage of LPL Summer 2023, JD Gaming fell just short of BLG's record, playing the stage with a score of 14-2.
In the first round of the main stage JD Gaming faced LNG Esports. The latter showed top flight and made the current world champions sweat for 5 maps, but the match still ended in favour of Ruler and company.
Next were BLG, who did not offer such resistance as LNG Esports. JD Gaming swept away LPL Spring and MSI 2023 finalists in the LPL Summer 2023 top finals, closing out the series with a 3-0 win.
In the LPL Summer 2023 grand finals, LNG Esports gave a serious fight to the formidable JDG. Scout and company took 2 maps at once, but they were not enough to win.
JDG debuted with a victory over BDS. I would like to mention the European club, which kept in the game till about 20 minutes. It was expected that the defeat would be much bigger than the final 14-6 in favour of the Chinese.
The second match JD Gaming played against Bilibili Gaming, vice-champions of MSI 2023 and LPL Spring 2023. Being the top team in China, JDG easily defeated the third team from the Middle Kingdom, closing the series with a 19-7 score in 24 minutes.
In the play-offs match, JD Gaming played against their compatriots from LNG Esports. They won the match, but not without problems (2-1).
In the first play-offs match JD Gaming played against KT Rolster. Losing the first map, JDG showed why they are considered the main contender to win Worlds 2023: absolutely dominant game without any chances for KT Rolster residents.
Next, the situation was the exact opposite. Facing T1, JDG managed to take only one card in the bo5 series. The defeat by T1 ended JDG's Golden Road in 2023.
JD Gaming started the play-offs of Demacia Cup 2023 with a match against TOP Esports. There, JDG won with a score of 3-2. In the previous match, JDG demolished Rare Atom with a score of 3-0. In the Demacia Cup 2023 grand final, however, they were weaker than BLG, losing 0-3 and finishing top 2.
In the LPL Spring 2024 regular season, JD Gaming finished in 3rd place with a 13-3 record. The first play-offs opponent for JDG was Weibo Gaming and JDG did well: they won 3-0. But in the next game against TOP Esports the outcome was much less favourable for JDG, where TES lost 0-3. JD Gaming met NiP in the match for the top 3 and that match was a real test for JDG, which they hardly coped with. However, they couldn't get any further into the top 3, as TES stepped in and knocked JD Gaming out of LPL Spring 2024.
At LPL Summer 2024, in the updated format, JD Gaming Long Sogpeg from Group A Opening Stage, where they rolled over their opponents, closing it with a score of 6-0. In the group stage, the top basket, JD Gaming are in 3rd place with a score of 4-2.

LNG Esports uniforms
We continue the match analysis with the analysis of LNG Esports game form. In this match, they will play as an outsider with odds to win at around 2.
In 2022, LNG started their climb to the top of the Chinese League of Legends. They finished Top 6 at LPL Spring 2022, but fared better: in the summer split, LNG Esports finished Top 4 at LPL Summer 2023.
They also played at the regional finals in an attempt to qualify for the Worlds 2022, but had no luck. LNG Esports finished in the top 3.
At LPL Spring 2023, after a good group stage, the team finished in the top 6. Not to say bad, but not very good either.
- LNG Esports lineup: Zika, Weiwei, Scout, Gala, Mark.
LNG maintained their class at LPL Summer 2023. The team played a 12-5 regular season, which allowed them to finish in the top 4 and directly advance to the quarterfinals of the tournament.
The first play-offs opponent for LNG was Top Esports. The match ended on map 5 with a 3-2 victory for LNG.
They got here after defeat from the champions of LPL Spring 2023, and at the same time Mid-Season Invitational 2023 - JD Gaming. And defeat in a fairly even game, which ended with 5 maps.
In the next series LNG Esports met with TES. In the match for the exit to the top 3, the once titled club was unable to do anything against LNG, who were clearly charged in the summer split. As a result, the latter won 3-1.
Next up was the match to advance to the grand finals and a battle with Bilibili Gaming. Finalists LPL Spring 2023 and MSI 2023 could not oppose their colleagues and as a result Ledgeili with the score 1-3.
Having reached the Grand Final of LPL Summer 2023 LNG had every chance to defeat the armoured train called JD Gaming and almost took advantage of them - they lacked one map. LPL Summer 2023 Grand Final ended with the score 3-2 in favour of JDG.
LNG Esports started their performance at Worlds 2023 with a match against Fnatic. Scout literally single-handedly swatted the Orange on their Azir, crushing their opponents on mid with a score of 11-0.
In the second match of Worlds 2023 LNG again faced the representatives of the Western World of League of Legends: this time the number two team from North America, Cloud9. Once again LNG defeated their counterparts on class, although C9 held their own and managed to impose Long Sogpega on the match, but lost in a brawl on the centre line after a Baron takedown.
LNG Esports lost to JDG in the match to advance to the Worlds 2023 play-offs. However, they managed to advance to the main stage at the second attempt, beating KT Rolster 2-1.
However, it was not possible to stay in the play-offs for long. In the first match LNG met with their principal rival from JD Gaming and lost 0-3.
Before the start of LPL Spring 2024 LNG Esports tested their strength at Demacia Cup 2023. There the team played in the first round of play-offs, where they received an invitation, but lost in the first round against Rare Atom, which was a kind of sensation. However, Demacia Cup has never been a tournament of LPL level, and at LPL Spring 2024 LNG took the top 6, which is a bit "not suitable" for the status of LNG.
At LPL Summer 2024 LNG Long Co-angled from Group C, where they faced big problems, but still made it to the next stage with a score of 3-3. At the Rumble Stage, LNG Esports did much better: 4-1 and a provisional championship.

Predicted result of the match JD Gaming - LNG Esports at LEC Summer 2024 Rumble Stage
In this match I expect JD Gaming to win. The team looks very confident and should run over LNG, who are still in search of their game, although they are doing much better in the second stage.
Bottom line: victory of JD Gaming.
