Matchförutsägelse: T1 - Edward Gaming | LoL
Worlds 2022 LoL - Group StageWe continue to get acquainted with the participating teams of Worlds 2022. We are talking about the first gaming day of the main tournament of the year.
Now the whole eye is on group A. Here we are waiting for a super match on the very first game day.
T1 will play against EDward Gaming. Here is a sign - what we love and really look forward to Worlds.
Faker, one of the main media icons of the League of Legends and world esports, will face the reigning world champions, the Chinese from EDWARD Gaming, as part of T1. Needless to say, the match will be outstanding?
The chance of a boring meeting remains, but it is negligible. We are trying to figure out which of the giants will earn victory in an extremely principled match.
Form T1
In the status of a nominal favorite, T1 will approach the match. The chance of winning the legendary South Korean club, according to bookmakers, is 1.8.
Let's not forget that group stage matches are played in bo1 format, which means that the figure of 1.8 is not exactly a sign of advantage. She talks about equality, which we will see later in the analysis of EDward Gaming.
I fully adhere to the idea of parity in this match. The level of clubs hints at this.
Speaking about T1 in particular, one cannot ignore the fact that the team is not at its peak now, but the performance is still the highest. During the season, the team won the LCK Spring 2022, and also took 2nd place at the LCK Summer 2022, which allowed them to qualify for the group stage by LCK Championship Points.
Another important milestone for the team in the 2022 season happened at the Mid-Season Invitational 2022. Then the South Korean club took 2nd place in the off-season, losing to the reigning MSI champions Royal Never Give Up.
Speaking of the team roster, everything is unchanged from last year. TOP-4 at last year's World Championship did not embarrass the organization, which is very logical.
T1 roster at Worlds 2022
- Zeus
- Oner
- Faker
- Gumayusi
- Keria
The T1 roster accommodates both legendary performers such as Zeus, Oner and Faker, as well as the “young” Gumayusi and Keria. All would be such "young".
In more detail, you can talk about the trio Zeus, Oner and Faker. Naturally, all the laurels are on Leah, who won the Worlds three times and obviously does not plan to stop there, but Zeus and Oner have been going around and around the Summoners Cup for a long time.
Heroes T1
Since T1 has no and could not win back at Worlds 2022, we will discuss their playstyle during the season. I see the option of analyzing peaks as part of the LCK Summer 2022 as the most rational.
In the home league T1, Gnar was chosen in the top line (11 matches, 63% of wins). Also appeared Gangplank (7 matches, 71% wins), Gwen (7 matches, 57% wins).
The signature one for Oner Lee Sin most often appeared in the forest (13 matches, 84% of wins). They did not bypass Viego (87% of wins in 8 matches).
Azir appeared in the mid lane for Faker more often than others (10 matches, 50% of wins).
Draven played in the bot lane (8 matches, 87% of wins).
Supports Nautilus (6 matches, 83% win rate), Tahm Kench (4 matches, 25% win rate).
EDward Gaming Uniform
In the status of an outsider, EDward Gaming will approach the match. The chance of success for the reigning world champions of the bookmaker is estimated at a factor of 1.9.
It's rather inconvenient to call EDward Gaming outsiders, but on paper it really is. True, adjusted for the meager difference in outrights, and to be honest, you can ignore it. We have parity between teams.
In the analysis of the game form of T1, I made a reservation that they are not at their peak. Well, we can say the same about EDward Gaming.
As for world champions, EDG finished the previous season mediocrely. After the triumph in Reykjavik, the team failed NEST 2021, not leaving the group there, and later Demacia Cup 2021, where it took TOP-8.
Directly in the 2022 season, the game stabilized a little, but did not reach the championship level so precisely. Top 8 at LPL Spring, Top 3 at LPL Summer and finally the victory at LPL Regional Finals allowed EDG to bypass the Play-In.
Roster
- Flandre
- Jiejie
- Scout
- Viper
- Meiko
Naturally, the roster has not changed since Worlds 2021, and it looks logical. Disbanding a champion roster or making spot replacements, like RNG after MSI, is not the best approach. Moreover, I want to catch up with Faker.
Heroes of EDward Gaming
By analogy with T1, consider the heroes used during the home league. There's enough to play.
The top lane featured Gnar (9 matches, 55% win rate), Gangplank (7 matches, 57% win rate).
In the jungle, the most consistent pick for base jungler, JieJie, was Viego (9 matches, 55% win rate).
Azir appeared in the central line for Scout (8 matches, 62% of wins) or Corki with Taliyah: both had 5 matches and 60% of wins for the first, with 100% of wins for the second.
Aphelios visited ADK. The character has won 5 in 9 matches.
Support most often to characters on top of Nautilus. The sea giant appeared 8 times and won half the time.
History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams have already played within the framework of the past Worlds 2021. Then, in 2 bo1 teams, each team took a point.
Match outcome
Determining the winner of this derby is not at all easy, but that's what we're here for. The chances are exactly 50 to 50 and this is not just an intuition.
Here you have a similar playstyle with almost identical picks on most lines, and a history of personal confrontations, where the teams have already played each other and exchanged pleasantries. And besides, the roster did not change for some, for the second, though there is a nuance here.
In the regional league, EDward Gaming resorted to replacing the jungler: JieJie missed more than one match, where JunJie played instead. The team also likes to experiment with the bot-lane swap: Viper and Meiko swap roles, which often misleads their opponents.
In general, the game will be hot, but I still believe in T1. They often play well in group stages and bo1 series, but by bo5 they can sag, while EDG has the opposite situation.
Result: T1 win.
